Ahead of the Test series, the West Indies played first-class warm-up matches against Derbyshire, Essex and Kent. They also played a two-day match against Leicestershire, as they did not get to the final of the 2017 NatWest t20 Blast.[4]
In October 2016 the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) confirmed that the first Test at Edgbaston would be played as a day/night game.[5] Tom Harrison, chief executive of the ECB, said that "we are excited by the prospect of staging our first ever day-night Test match".[6] Following the Edgbaston Test match, both England's Alastair Cook and Neil Snowball, CEO of Warwickshire County Cricket Club, said that the "jury is out" with regard to holding another day/night Test in England.[7][8] The ECB considered it a success, with the possibility of having a day/night Test as an annual fixture.[9] England won the Test series 2–1, with James Anderson taking his 500th wicket in the third match.[10]
The West Indies won the one-off T20I match at the Riverside Ground by 21 runs.[11] In the opening ODI match, England won by 7 wickets, meaning that the West Indies would need to play in the 2018 Cricket World Cup Qualifier tournament, as they were not able to qualify directly for the 2019 Cricket World Cup.[12] England's preparation for the fourth ODI was disrupted following the arrest of Ben Stokes in Bristol after the third ODI.[13] Following the incident, both Stokes and Alex Hales were suspended by the ECB, meaning they would not be considered for selection for England until further notice.[14][15] Despite this, England went on to win the ODI series 4–0.[16]

Jason Mohammed was made captain for the match in Holder's absence.[24]
