The English cricket team toured the West Indies from 16 January to 8 April 1998 as part of the 1997–98 West Indies cricket season. The tour included six Tests and five One Day Internationals, with West Indies winning the Test series 3–1 and the ODI series 4–1. Originally five Tests were scheduled; however, the opening Test at Sabina Park was called off after 62 deliveries due to an unsafe pitch, and a sixth Test in Trinidad was hurriedly scheduled to take its place. This is the most recent six-match Test series in international cricket.
