Australia’s upcoming tour of West Indies will see an expanded cricket series, with both the Australian and West Indies cricket boards agreeing to add an extra Test match to the original schedule.

That time, they swept the two-match series 2-0.

The series will also mark the beginning of the next cycle of the World Test Championship for both sides, which requires a minimum of two Tests. Cricket Australia chief executive Nick Hockley confirmed the development and they are waiting for confirmation from the West Indies Cricket Board.
