England prepares for heat against West Indies at T20 World Cup
Summary

England will implement cooling strategies, including ice packs and Formula 1-style vests, during their T20 World Cup match against West Indies at Lord's on June 24. Stand-in captain Charlie Dean noted the forecasted high of 35 degrees Celsius, prompting the team to draw from experiences in hotter climates. Strict heat protocols are in place from the ICC and ECB to ensure player and spectator safety. A fourth win for England would secure their semi-final spot with a match to spare, while West Indies also holds three victories in the tournament.
