Australia is set to tour the West Indies in mid-2025 for a comprehensive series that includes three Test matches and five T20 Internationals.
The tour will contribute to the new World Test Championship cycle and also act as preparation for future T20 tournaments.
The Test series will open on 25 June at Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados. The second Test is slated for 3 July at the National Cricket Stadium in St George’s, Grenada, with the final match to be held on 12 July at Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica.
Australia and the West Indies have faced off in 118 Tests. Australia holds the advantage with 60 wins, while the West Indies have 32 victories. Twenty-five matches ended in draws, and one resulted in a tie.
Following the Test series, the T20I leg will begin on 20 July at Sabina Park. The second match will be played at the same venue on 22 July. Warner Park in Basseterre, St Kitts will host the remaining three T20Is on 25, 26, and 28 July.
Australia last toured the Caribbean in 2021, where the hosts won the T20I series 4-1 and claimed the ODI series 2-1.
The Australian Test squad features established names such as Pat Cummins (captain), Marnus Labuschagne, and Steven Smith, alongside new additions Sam Konstas and Beau Webster. Matthew Kuhnemann also returns to the side. The T20I team will be led by Mitchell Marsh and includes power-hitters like Glenn Maxwell and Tim David.
West Indies' Test side includes captain Roston Chase, veteran Kraigg Brathwaite, and newcomers Brandon King, Kevlon Anderson, and Johann Layne. Shai Hope and Tevin Imlach will serve as wicketkeepers.
