The West Indies women and their England counterparts are scheduled to meet in a Test match for the first time in almost half a century.
The two will battle in a one off Test in the Caribbean during a series which will also include three One Day Internationals and three T20 Internationals in April and May of 2027.
The series will form part of the new Future Tours Programme.
The two countries last played a Test against each other in 1979.
West Indies will also host a Test against Australia in 2026 and play South Africa away in the format in 2028.
As part of the new cycle, which runs from 2025 to early 2029, England will also play Tests against India, Australia and South Africa.
England play Tests in South Africa and Australia this winter at the end of the current cycle. They are scheduled to tour Pakistan for the first time in 2027.
They were due to play in Pakistan in 2021 but the tour was cancelled because of security concerns.
The new schedule also includes a window largely free of international cricket in August to coincide with The Hundred – a boost to the England and Wales Cricket Board’s competition.
Zimbabwe have been added to the FTP for the first time.
