On 17 June 2020, Broad was included in England's 30-man squad to start training behind closed doors for the Test series against the West Indies. On 4 July 2020, Broad was named in England's thirteen-man squad for the first Test match of the series.

For his efforts Broad was named man of the match and man of the series.
