Predicting West Indies’ Playing XI for their 1st Test against Australia

The West Indies cricket team is all set to lock horns against Australia for the first Test match of the three-match Test series, slated to take place from June 25th at Kensington Oval, Barbados. The side has been performing very well in this format and must be looking to pose a big threat to the 2023 WTC champions and 2025 WTC finalists in the forthcoming series.

The side has already dropped two players, Kavem Hodge and Alick Athanaze, who have played a key role in the 2023-25 WTC campaign.  Speaking about the same subject, given below are the probable playing XI of the Windies team ahead of their first Test match against Australia.

Openers: Kraigg Brathwaite, Brandon King

Brathwaite and King are currently the best opening batters from the West Indies side. King has been the power hitter and seems to be one of the players to watch out for. They must be aiming to give a powerful start to the side.

Batters: John Campbell, Keacy Carty, Shai Hope

Campbell is the game-changer and match-winner in this clash. He can do wonders in this clash. Carty and Hope aim to boost with runs in the middle order of the game.

All-rounders: Justin Greaves, Roston Chase

Greaves and Chase must be aiming to perform well with both bat and ball in this game to help the side take the lead in the opening Test match. The side banks upon them for the runs and crucial wickets against the 2023 WTC Champions.

Bowlers: Alzarri Joseph, Jomel Warrican, Jayden Seales, Shamar Joseph

Joseph will be leading the pace unit of the West Indies team in this game. Shamar was excellent when the two sides last faced each other. He must be aiming to crush the dangerous Aussie batting unit. Warrican and Seales have been the best current bowlers, and we might see them posing big threats to the Australian batting unit in this game.
