It may be the middle of winter in Australia, but cricket continues in the Caribbean this month as Australia takes on the West Indies. The first of five T20 matches begins in St Lucia on Saturday, July 10 at 9:30am AEST, which will be followed by three ODIs later in the month.
T20 dates: July 10, July 11, July 13, July 15 and July 17 at 9:30am AEST
ODI dates: July 21, July 23 and July 25 at 5:30am AEST
T20 venue: Daren Sammy Cricket Ground in St Lucia
ODI venue: Kensington Oval in Barbados
How to watch: On Foxtel’s Fox Cricket, or stream on Foxtel Now or Kayo Sports
You can expect to see some of Australia’s best T20 players in the squad, including Matthew Wade, Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Marsh. Australia’s coach Justin Langer has also confirmed that all-rounder Dan Christian will return to the game after an absence of nearly four years.
Josh Philippe has also been named in the squad after impressing in the warm-up games, and is expected to bat in the middle.
Australia is currently placed fifth in the International Cricket Council T20 rankings, while the West Indies sit in ninth place. The West Indies aren’t to be counted out though – they’ve won the T20 World Cup twice, most recently winning in 2016.
Following the five days of T20 matches, Australia and the West Indies will then play three ODIs in Barbados beginning on Wednesday, July 21 at 5:30am AEST. Below we’ve got the full fixtures, and how you can watch it live in Australia.

West Indies vs Australia live stream: how to watch in Australia
Luckily for cricket fans Down Under, the Australian tour of the West Indies will be shown at a fairly reasonable time locally. Each of the five T20 matches will air at 9:30am AEST, with games on July 10, July 11, July 13, July 15 and July 17.
The three ODI matches will start earlier though, so you’ll need to get up at 5:30am AEST to catch them, with each showing on July 21, July 23 and July 25.
Foxtel has exclusive rights to the matches, so you’ll be able to watch the games on Foxtel’s Fox Cricket, or if you’re a subscriber, it’ll also be available on Foxtel Now. Each game will also be on Kayo Sports, and this is likely the best streaming option if you’re a die-hard sports fan.
