Australia is set to tour the West Indies in mid-2025 for a comprehensive series that includes three Test matches and five T20 Internationals. The tour will contribute to the new World Test Championship cycle and also act as preparation for future T20 tournaments.

Australia on Friday dropped Marnus Labuschagne for the opening match of their three-Test tour of the West Indies after a poor run of form while Steve Smith is out injured.

Australia will begin its 2027 World Test Championship campaign with a new batting unit as Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne miss out on the first Test against the West Indies. Smith has been ruled out due to a finger injury sustained during the recent World Test Championship Final at Lord’s,
