Australia will kick off its World Test Championship (WTC) 2025-27 campaign with a three-match series against West Indies in the Caribbean, starting on Wednesday at Kensington Oval in Barbados.
Both teams had named their Playing XIs on Tuesday and will brace for change with a host of new names in their ranks. While Sam Konstas replaces Marnus Labuschagne as opener, the big-hitting Josh Inglis comes in place of an injured Steve Smith.
For the Windies, white-ball specialist Brandon King is set to make his long-format debut, while Shai Hope and newly appointed skipper Roston Chase return to the Test side after spending more than two years on the sidelines.
