West Indies in Australia 2023/24

The West Indies in Australia series is a bilateral cricket contest between the national representatives of Australia and the West Indies. It operates under the ICC Future Tour Programme (FTP), with participation determined by scheduling agreements between Cricket Australia and Cricket West Indies. The fixture does not feature domestic teams or involve promotion and relegation; it is strictly an international encounter.

The Test component of the series is contested for the Frank Worrell Trophy. This prize was established in the 1960-61 season by the Australian Cricket Board of Control to honour the West Indies captain Frank Worrell after the first tied Test match in history. The trophy was designed by Ernie McCormick.

The rivalry dates back to the 1930-31 season, which saw the first Test series played between the two nations. While the West Indies dominated historically through the 1970s and 1980s, Australia has maintained control in recent decades. The tourists won the 2022-23 and 2023-24 series with 2-0 victories, while the 2024-25 edition concluded in a 1-1 draw. The broader series typically includes two to three Tests, three to five One Day Internationals (ODIs) and three to five Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is). Test matches within this framework contribute to the ICC World Test Championship.

Australia holds the historical edge in the overall Test head-to-head record, with 60 wins to the West Indies' 32, alongside 25 draws and one tie as of early 2026. Although the 1975 Cricket World Cup Final remains a famous standalone encounter between the sides, it was an ICC event rather than part of this specific bilateral series.
