The tour also marks their first Test series in the Caribbean after a decade. It will also be the first time that both the teams will lock horns with each other in Grenada where the second Test of the series will be played.

The Test series will conclude at Kingston, Jamaica where the third and final Test will be played from July 12. The last time these two teams played each other in a Test series in West Indies was in 2015 when Australia won the two-match Test series 2-0.
The tour was earlier supposed to be of two Tests, three ODIs, and three T20Is when the current Future Tours Programme (FTP) was released in 2022. However, since the next ODI World Cup is in 2027, both the boards agreed to remove the ODIs and play more Tests and T20Is.
Why was the schedule changed?
The Aussies won the first Test convincingly while West Indies won the second Test at Gabba in a thrilling fashion on the back of Shamar Joseph's superlative exploits. The decision to add extra T20Is was taken with the T20 World Cup 2026 in mind.
"The additional T20 matches against a dynamic West Indies team will also provide a great opportunity to progress our preparation for the next T20 World Cup which is now only 12 months away," he added.
Second Test: July 3-7, St George's, Grenada
First T20I: July 20, Kingston, Jamaica
Third T20I: July 25, Basseterre, St Kitts
Fifth T20I: July 28, Basseterre, St Kitts
AUS vs WI head-to-head in Tests
Before the Gabba Test in 2024, West Indies had won just once in 30 Tests since the start of this century. However, since the West Indies Test team is on the rise, this series promises to be a tight one.
