Saint John's [Antigua and Barbuda], February 6 (ANI): West Indies will begin their World Test Championship 2025-27 cycle with three home Tests against Australia.
Cricket West Indies (CWI) revealed an action-packed schedule for the senior men's and women's teams from May to December 2025, featuring a mix of home and away fixtures.
Before playing their first home Test, the West Indies will tour the UK from May 21 to June 15. The West Indies will play three ODIs and three T20Is each against Ireland and England.
The three home series against Australia, which will run from June 25 to July 16, will be Daren Sammy's first Test assignment as West Indies head coach since taking over from red-ball coach Andre Coley.
The first Test will begin on June 25 at Kensington Oval, Barbados, and the second game will be hosted at the Grenada National Stadium on July 3. The final Test of the series will begin on July 12 at Sabina Park, Jamaica.
After the conclusion of the Test series, the action will shift to white-ball cricket, with the West Indies squaring off against Australia in five T20Is from July 20 to July 28.
The Caribbean side will end the home summer with three T20Is and three ODIs against Pakistan from July 31 to August 12. Florida's Broward County will host the three T20Is, and Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Trinidad will be the home for the three ODIs.

The Caribbean side will play two Tests against India, three T20Is and ODIs against Bangladesh, and an all-format tour of New Zealand, consisting of five T20Is, three ODIs, and three Tests.
