Australia is set to embark on its first red-ball tour of the Caribbean in ten years, facing the West Indies in a three-match series.
As well as the three Test matches, Australia and the West Indies will also compete in a five-match T20I series in preparation for the upcoming 2026 T20 World Cup set to be held in India and Sri Lanka.
The first Test match will begin on June 12th at Kensington Oval in Barbados, followed by the second Test on July 3rd at St Georges's in Grenada and then the third Test on July 12th in Sabina Park in Jamaica.
This Test series against the West Indies will kick off the next World Test Championship cycle, which runs from 2025 to 2027. However, Australia's current cycle isn't quite over yet. They'll face South Africa in a one-off Test on June 11th, which will determine the winner of the previous World Test Championship cycle.
The five-match T20I schedule is as follows:
- July 20, Sabina Park
- July 22, Sabina Park
- July 25, Basseterre
- July 26, Basseterre
- July 28, Basseterre
The last time the pair met in a Test series, the visiting West Indies suffered a heavy defeat in the first match only to come back and register a thrilling second-match win with some bowling heroics from Shamar Joseph.
Australia is currently taking on Sri Lanka in a two-match Test series in Galle, where they registered a convincing victory in the first Test.
