The upcoming WI vs AUS Test series promises an exciting showdown as the West Indies host Australia for three thrilling matches starting June 25. After a challenging WTC cycle, where Australia suffered a disappointing defeat to South Africa in the World Test Championship final, the team is eager to bounce back strongly in the Caribbean.
The last time these two sides met in the West Indies, the series ended in a 1-1 draw, with the West Indies pulling off a memorable victory at the Gabba during the second Test.
Australia will face some challenges ahead of this series. Steve Smith, a key player, will miss the first Test due to a finger injury sustained during the WTC final. Additionally, Marnus Labuschagne has been dropped from the squad after struggling for runs over the past year.Sam Konstas is expected to open the batting alongside Usman Khawaja, with Josh Inglis taking Smith’s place behind the stumps.
