West Indies v Australia Test series: Dates, venues, how to watch, history & more

Australia undertake a tour of the West Indies starting in late June, with a three-match Test series followed by five Twenty20 internationals in the Caribbean.

The Baggy Green have not lost a Test series to the Windies since way back in 1992, but the last time the two sides met in red-ball cricket the spoils were shared on Australian soil as the series ended as a 1-1 draw.

That series saw the men from the Caribbean win in Australia for the first time since 1996, as they claimed a thrilling eight-run victory in the second Test in Brisbane.

Now the rivalry is renewed in the West Indies, with Australia hoping to make the trip buoyed by having retained their World Test Championship crown by beating South Africa in early June.

The National Cricket Stadium in St. George's, Grenada is a much more recent addition to the international roster and has played host to just four Test matches to date and will be a new red-ball destination for the Aussies.
