But hockley

West Indies Cricket Board: Cricket Australia (CA) CEO Nick Hockley said the Test team will play three matches in the West Indies in June-July next year, as opposed to two games. As per the new World Test Championship cycle, Australia is supposed to play two Tests in West Indies.

But Hockley mentioned CA and Cricket West Indies (CWI) have decided to host three games instead. In January this year, Australia and West Indies drew the two-Test series one-all. Australia will be touring West Indies for Tests for the first time after 2015, where they had won both games in Dominica and Jamaica.

"I am really glad that is going to manifest. We're still waiting for an official announcement from the West Indies Cricket Board around precise dates and precise locations but it will be a three Test series which is obviously big and is as it should be."
