In June and July, Australia will tour the Caribbean for a series of three Tests and five Twenty20 internationals, the West Indies Cricket Board announced on Wednesday.
Australia’s last Test tour of the West Indies was in 2015 and this will be the first three-Test series between the two nations since the West Indies’ tour of Australia in the 2015-16 season.
The first Test of the Frank Worrell Trophy series will be held at Bridgetown, Barbados, starting June 25. The second Test will begin on July 3, in St. George’s, Grenada, while the third is set for July 12, in Kingston, Jamaica.
Sabina Park, Kingston will also host the first two T20s on July 20 and 22, before the last three T20s on July 25, 26 and 28, in Basseterre, St. Kitts.
Two weeks after their match against South Africa in the World Test Championship final at Lord’s, which commences on June 11, the series against the West Indies will start.
Three series of test tours have been made by the West Indies against Australia since last hosting the Frank Worrell Trophy series.
The two teams have travelled in Asia. The West Indies drew a two-match series in Pakistan in late January. Australia leads 1-0 in their ongoing two-Test series in Sri Lanka.
