West Indies-Australia Twenty20 Series Live and Exclusive on ESPN
After a comprehensive victory in the three Test series, Australia will look to continue their dominance in the Caribbean as they embark on a five-game Twenty20 international series against the West Indies live and exclusive on ESPN.
The West Indies will look to respond from Australia’s clean sweep in the Frank Worrell Trophy series as the tour turns to the Twenty20 format under lights in Jamaica and St Kitts.
Game One of the Twenty20 series between West Indies and Australia is live and exclusive to ESPN on Monday July 21 at 9.45am AEST.
Coverage will be available live and exclusive on ESPN and accessible to viewers on Disney+, Foxtel, Kayo Sports, Fetch TV, Sky NZ and Sky Sport Now, as part of the most widely distributed sports network in Australia and New Zealand.
Mitchell Marsh will captain the Australian side, featuring a host of young talent such as Cooper Connolly, Tim David, Aaron Hardie, Spencer Johnson, Mitch Owen and more.
Australia have also called up big-hitting top-order bat Jake Fraser-McGurk and paceman Xavier Bartlett for the five-match T20I tour.
West Indies have named a strong 16-man squad, promoting a host of emerging Caribbean cricket talent.
Shai Hope will captain the side and the West Indies will hand T20 debuts to exciting prospects Jewel Andrew and Jediah Blades.
At just 18-years-old Andrew is seen as a future star of the West Indies setup and will have the opportunity to test himself against a fierce Australian bowling lineup.
The West Indies have also included T20 stars Jason Holder, Akeal Hosein and Rovman Powell in the squad, bolstering an already explosive short-format batting order.
The Twenty20 series between West Indies and Australia takes on greater importance as the series represents a key opportunity to prepare for the 2026 Twenty20 World Cup.
Whilst the Test series was won 3-0 by Australia, the West Indies will present a greater challenge in the Twenty20 component, with the hosts two-time winners of the Twenty20 World Cup.
Throughout Australia’s tour of the Caribbean, ESPN provides cricket fans with extensive live and on-demand coverage, ball-by-ball commentary, highlights and onsite reporting on ESPN.com.au and the ESPN app.
