English cricket team in the West Indies in 1929–30

The England national cricket team toured the West Indies from January to April 1930 and played a four-match Test series against the West Indies cricket team which was drawn 1–1. England were captained by Freddie Calthorpe; West Indies by a different captain at each venue. They were the first Tests played in the West Indies.

At the same time another English team, captained by Harold Gilligan, was touring New Zealand, playing New Zealand's first Test series. It was the only time one country has played in two Test matches on the same day.
