WI vs AUS 1st Test Match LIVE: WTC 2025 finalists Australia will look to return to winning ways when they face Roston Chase’s West Indies in first match of three-Test series starting at Kensington Oval in Barbados on Wednesday.
Pat Cummins-led Australian team will look to bounce back from their loss in the WTC 2025 Final against South Africa earlier this month as they begin their three-match Test series against the West Indies at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados on Wednesday. Australia, who were the defending WTC champions, stunningly lost to Temba Bavuma’s South Africa at Lord’s.
They will face the Windies team at home, who are looking to start a new chapter under a new skipper Roston Chase – who is replacing Kraigg Brathwaite as captain. The home side will see the return of former ODI captain Shai Hope to the Test arena and he is expected to take up the wicketkeeping duties in the first Test as well.
WI’s ODI opener Brandon Kings is set to make his Test debut at the No. 4 position. They will have a strong bowling attack led by pacers Alzarri Joseph and Shamar Joseph along side Jayden Seales.
Australia, on the other hand, have dropped out-of-form opener Marnus Labuschagne and he will be replaced by youngster Sam Konstas – who made a sensational debut against India last year. They will also miss the services of injured Steve Smith, who will be replaced by Josh Inglis at the No. 4 position. Cummins has also decided to stick with all-rounder Beau Webster ahead of left-arm spinner Matthew Kuhnemann for the first Test.
