He is expected to be available for all three ODIs but not the subsequent T20 leg as he prepares for the next Test trip to New Zealand. With Jamie Smith set to go on paternity leave in December, Cox is expected to play the last two Tests against the Blackcaps.
Cox is yet to play Test cricket but has already featured in two T20Is, with both coming against Australia in September.
England play the first ODI in Antigua on October 31, with Liam Livingstone set to captain the side for the first time in the absence of the injured Jos Buttler. The five-match T20 leg starts in Barbados on November 9.
