ESSEX will play a three-day tourist match against West Indies at Chelmsford in August 2017.
Ahead of their tour against England, West Indies will head to Essex for a tourist match on 1-3 August.
The likes of Marlon Samuels, Jason Holder and Darren Bravo will head to The E.C.G to prepare for their three match Test series against England.
And Head Coach Chris Silverwood is looking forward to welcoming the tourists to Chelmsford.
"It is always a great challenge to test yourselves against international quality players," he said.
"West Indies have an exciting squad and we welcome them to Chelmsford for what should be a great occasion. Hopefully the Essex fans will come out in force and support the squad."
