After a successful clean sweep against Pakistan, Australia is gearing up to take on West Indies in the first Test match of their two-match series, a crucial fixture in the World Test Championships (WTC) cycle.
In a strategic move, the hosts are promoting Steve Smith to fill the shoes of the now Test-retired David Warner, pairing him with Usman Khawaja as the opening partner. Additionally, the squad also welcomes back all-rounder Cameron Green for the upcoming challenge against the West Indies.
On the Windies side, seven uncapped players have earned spots in their 15-man squad for this tour. Led by Kraigg Brathwaite, the visitors face the daunting task of delivering an inspired performance to outshine the Aussies on their home turf.
In their recent encounter, the last Test took place in December 2022, where Australia emerged victorious with a commanding 419-run margin. With that resounding win, the Aussies had successfully whitewashed West Indies in the two-match series.
