The West Indies Cricket Team is all set to tour Australia for a two-match T20I series as they prepare for the T20 World cup that starts later this month. With the likes of Sunil Narine and Andre Russell absent from the squad, the visitors will be looking to create an early impression while the home side will look to bounce back after losing to India in their home patch. Ahead of the tour, here is all you need to know about the West Indies tour of Australia.
The series will be divided into two halves as the T20I series will take place before the World cup while the Test series takes place after the showpiece event. The T20I series will have two matches in the build-up to the World Cup while the Test series will be played at the end of November. The Test series will also consist of two matches.
On the flip side, the two-time T20 champions, West Indies will be ready to stamp their authority on the contest as they will be negotiating a tough path from qualifier 1.
