West Indies finished eighth in the previous edition of the ICC World Test Championship. The Caribbean outfit was once a powerhouse in Test cricket, but they have struggled to perform well in the longest format of the game ever since the majority of their star players started preferring T20 cricket over Tests.
The new World Test Championship cycle started earlier this week with a series between Australia and England. West Indies are scheduled to play six series in the 2023-25 cycle.
Before the Caribbean team dons the whites for the first time in the third edition of the tournament, here's a look at their complete WTC schedule.
