England have several options this time, with Matt Prior, dropped down the order in India, fighting it out with Davies for a place alongside Bopara at the top of the order.
The make-up of England's line-up will depend firstly on the fitness of captain Andrew Strauss, who has been battling to recover from a hamstring strain and was forced to bat with a runner during yesterday's practice match in Georgetown.
If Strauss fails to recover in time for tomorrow's opener to the five-match series, England will be led by Paul Collingwood (left) after the selectors decided to name him as the stand-in captain in preference to Kevin Pietersen.
"We're quite hopeful that Andrew will be okay but we just feel that Colly is the right man to finish it off for us if the situation occurs," said England national selector Geoff Miller.
"We have never had an official vice-captain but we have enough seniority in the squad to cover any eventuality and the decision was made that Colly would take over the reins if he is needed."
The decision to call on Collingwood, who resigned as England's one-day captain last year to concentrate on his own form, represents a snub to former captain Pietersen so soon after he was removed from the post in January.
Pietersen and coach Peter Moores were axed in January after failing to overcome their differences and form a working relationship but the Hampshire batsman has stated his willingness to lead the side again in the future.
The West Indies, meanwhile, expect to welcome back captain Chris Gayle, who has been out with a hamstring tear.
