T20Is
West Indies will host Australia for a five-match T20I series beginning in Jamaica and concluding at Basseterre, St Kitts. Australia are looking to continue their winning run in the Caribbean ahead of next year’s ICC Men’s T20 World Cup; captain Mitch Marsh hopes Hobart Hurricanes BBL final hero Mitchell Owen can replicate domestic form on an international stage and strengthen Australia’s T20I side batting depth.
Windies fans will hope for better fortunes after being humbled 0-3 in a Test series by Australia, but will need a successful T20I series against Ireland before any hope can arise of turning around their fortunes.
At present they rank sixth globally – four spots below Australia – while only winning two out of 14 multi-game bilateral T20I series, including suffering an embarrassing 3-0 defeat last time out.
Australia will be led by Mitchell Marsh, who is in fine form. They have chosen Hobart Hurricanes opener Jake Fraser-McGurk and Punjab Kings pacer Xavier Bartlett from Hobart Hurricanes as replacements for injured Spencer Johnson and Josh Hazlewood.
Fraser-McGurk will bat at the top of their order while Bartlett fills in at the back. Bartlett has amassed 355 runs over his past three T20I innings!
West Indies have named their squad for the upcoming T20Is. All-rounder Andre Russell will play two T20Is before making his decision about his future with the national side.
Other hosts players include wicketkeeper Devon Smith, batsman Shai Hope and left-arm spinner Rovman Powell (25 runs away from becoming their second-highest T20I run scorer after Chris Gayle with 1899 runs scored).
The inaugural two T20Is will take place in Kingston while the remaining three will take place in Basseterre. Both sides have made adjustments after an uneven Test series; former West Indies captain Darren Sammy is no longer part of their lineup; all-rounder Marlon Samuels will return however for shorter format games.
Tests
Since 1992, West Indies cricketers have gone 22 years without winning an away Test series against Australia, but that could all change this summer with three Test matches starting Sunday and ending July 4. There will also be five Twenty20 Internationals spread out over two months as part of this three-Test series against Australia.
The series will be broadcast live on ESPN, with Disney+ airing the first two Tests before broadcasting all other fixtures through Foxtel, Kayo Sports, Fetch TV in Australia as well as ABC/SEN radio stations covering it throughout.
Australia have won 21 out of the 50 Tests they’ve played in the Caribbean, drawing 15 matches and hoping to retain their Frank Worrell Trophy which they’ve held onto since 1995; second only to The Ashes as an Australian cricket silverware trophy.
Australian cricket has recently struggled in this region, winning only one of seven men’s Tests played there and losing all four others.
That record will come under heavy scrutiny when Australia take to Sabina Park pitch, used for just eight Tests before using pink ball instead of Kookaburra variety they usually employ at home.
Sabina Park in 2005-08 witnessed one of the greatest Test matches ever. Trailing 8-254 at tea, Windies were on the brink of crushing defeat until Curtly Ambrose held his nerve against Glenn McGrath, Jason Gillespie and Shane Warne to score 112 not out for an unforgettable one-wicket win – an enduring moment that is part of West Indian folklore that will serve as motivation against an all-powerful Australian side on Sunday.
Shamar Joseph will look to add to his Test wicket haul but has struggled for consistency since Gabba. At Gros Islet earlier this month in West Indies A’s seven-wicket defeat against South Africa A, Joseph took 1-78 and 2–40 figures and recorded two wicketless overs against South Africa A A team A.
ODIs
Australia and West Indies have met 146 times in One Day Internationals (ODIs), with Australia winning 79 times to 61 for West Indies while three matches ended as draws.
Australia was dominant during this series. Australia won 20 of 31 tri-series held between 1979 and 2014; their only defeats being 1981-82 and 2001-02 tri-series tournaments.
This series was notable for introducing the inaugural night ODI, played on 27 November 1979 as part of World Series Cricket in Sydney.
However, its outcome proved contentious due to allegations against umpires who allowed England to score two runs off only two balls for victory even though only one run would have won it otherwise.
T20I Series
Twenty20 International (T20I) cricket is an ICC tournament format played between two teams from its membership.
As the shortest form of the game, T20Is feature limited-overs matches where each side faces no more than 20 overs per innings. On 17 February 2005, Australia won their inaugural T20 International at Eden Park in Auckland by defeating New Zealand by 44 runs.
All 104 International Cricket Council (ICC) members, both men and women, have been granted T20I status. International matches only qualify as T20I matches once their teams have been ranked in the MRF Tyres ICC T20I Team Rankings.
T20I matches are played as part of the World T20 tournament as well as domestic tournaments such as IPL and WT20; franchises also compete against one another in global T20 leagues like Big Bash League and Caribbean Premier League tournaments.
