(Reuters) - West Indies coach Phil Simmons says he hopes England will tour the Caribbean in the future as a token of gratitude for his team's visit to the United Kingdom this year during the COVID-19 pandemic.

England's board had projected losses of up to $491 million if no cricket was played during the summer and the West Indies were praised for agreeing to a three-test series in July despite Britain struggling to curb the spread of the virus.
