The West Indian cricket team toured Australia from October to December 2022 to play two Test matches and two Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is).[2] The T20Is formed part of both teams' preparations for the 2022 ICC Men's T20 World Cup,[3] while the Test matches formed part of the 2021–2023 ICC World Test Championship.[4] [5] In May 2022, Cricket Australia confirmed the fixtures for the tour.[6]
Australia won the T20I series 2–0,[7] and the Test series 2–0, retaining the Frank Worrell Trophy in the process.[8]
Marnus Labuschagne scored 502 runs in the Test series, the most by any Australian in a two-Test series, surpassing Matthew Hayden's 501 against Zimbabwe in 2003–04.[9]
Originally, the tour was scheduled to take place in October 2020,[10] however, on 28 May 2020, Cricket Australia confirmed the fixtures for the series.[11] [12] Originally, the matches would have been used as warm-up fixtures for the 2020 ICC Men's T20 World Cup. However, in July 2020, the International Cricket Council (ICC) postponed the T20 World Cup until 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[13] In August 2020, the three T20I matches were also postponed due to the pandemic,[14] and a fixture clash with the revised schedule for the 2020 Indian Premier League.[15]
Shimron Hetmyer was ruled out after missing his flight to Australia and was replaced by Shamarh Brooks.[20] Marcus Stoinis was ruled out due to an injury.[21] On 6 October 2022, Cricket Australia announced that Mitchell Marsh would miss the second T20I due to a concern over his ankle injury.[22] Before the start of the first Test, Raymon Reifer was ruled out of West Indies' Test squad due to a groin injury.[23] Ahead of the second Test, Lance Morris and Michael Neser were added to Australia's test squad,[24] whereas Marquino Mindley was added to the West Indies' test squad.[25]
Australia's Pat Cummins was ruled out of second test after not recovering from the quad strain he picked up in the first test,[26] with Steve Smith was named captain for the match.[27]
