Inexperienced West Indies: Legendary West Indies wicketkeeper-batter Jeffrey Dujon believes the inexperienced Test side sent for the upcoming two-match series against top-ranked side Australia is similar to sending lambs to slaughter.

From the team which played in the 2022 Test tour of Australia, only skipper Kraigg Brathwaite, Kemar Roach, Alzarri Joseph, Joshua Da Silva and Tagenarine Chanderpaul are in the West Indies team for the 2023 tour. Jason Holder and Kyle Mayers have preferred to play in franchise T20 leagues, while Jayden Seales is out due to a shoulder injury.

Seven of the 15 players in the Test squad are uncapped -- batter Zachary McCaskie, wicketkeeper Tevin Imlach, all-rounders Justin Greaves, Kavem Hodge and Kevin Sinclair, plus fast bowlers Akeem Jordan and Shamar Joseph.
