The World Test Championship 2025–2027 for Australia and the West Indies is set to begin with the 1st Test at the Kensington Oval in Barbados. It’s a new beginning for the West Indies, with Roston Chase leading them in the match.
Australia has also made some changes, selecting Sam Konstas ahead of Marnus Labuschagne, and Josh Inglis replacing the injured Steve Smith in the lineup. While the West Indies look to revive their lost Caribbean flair, Australia will aim to regroup after losing the WTC Final to South Africa.

West Indies vs Australia: Kensington Oval Pitch Report
The pitch at the Kensington Oval is dry and has some grass around at the top. The surface is expected to be on the slower side initially but should pick up pace as the match progresses. Batters should take their time in the middle to settle down before going for shots. Pacers will get seam movement with the new ball, while spinners will have some assistance as the surface is expected to grip with the old ball. The team that wins the toss would opt to bowl first to assess the behaviour and bat accordingly.
