The England cricket team toured the West Indies in January to play five Twenty20 International (T20I) matches. The England team also returned to the Caribbean in March to play three Test matches. The Test series was the first time that the teams played for the Richards–Botham Trophy. The Test series formed part of the 2021–2023 ICC World Test Championship. In October 2021, the schedule for the tour was confirmed, with the T20I matches taking place in January 2022, and the Test matches taking place in March 2022. Despite England losing The Ashes 4–0 in January 2022, Joe Root remained as England's Test captain.

Prior to the third T20I, England's captain Eoin Morgan ruled himself out of the match after feeling pain in his right quad during the warm-up session. Morgan was later ruled out of the rest of the T20I series, with Moeen Ali leading the team in his absence. The West Indies won the first T20I by nine wickets, with England winning the second match by one run. Rovman Powell scored his first century in a T20I match, as the West Indies won the third T20I by 20 runs. With an all-round performance from Moeen Ali, England won the fourth match by 34 runs to level the series 2–2. thanks to a five-wicket haul and a hat-trick from Jason Holder, the West Indies won the final match by 17 runs to win the series 3–2.

The first Test match ended in a draw. England had set the West Indies a target of 286 runs from 71 overs, with England only managing to take four wickets. The second Test was also drawn, with both captains scoring centuries. The West Indies won the third Test by ten wickets, to take the series 1–0. The defeat on the back of losing the Ashes series 4–0 called into question Root's captaincy, with several ex-England Test captains calling for Root to step down. On 15 April 2022, Root resigned as the captain of England's Test side with immediate effect. Root said it has been an honour to captain the side but how much of a toll it has taken on him.
