Icc test championship cycle

Sir Frank Worrell Trophy: Cricket West Indies (CWI) has announced its 16-member squad for the three-match home Test series against Australia, which begins on June 25 at Kensington Oval in Barbados for the coveted Sir Frank Worrell Trophy, bringing back Shai Hope and John Campbell.

Roston Chase, who last played a Test match in March 2023 and was named the Test skipper recently, leads a fresh-looking squad which sees ODI vice-captain Brandon King securing a maiden Test call-up. However, despite being under consideration, veteran pacer Kemar Roach has not been included.

With this series signalling the critical start of the 2025-2027 ICC Test Championship Cycle, several changes have been made to the squad that last featured in the drawn series against Pakistan earlier this year.
