West Indies Vs Australia 1st Test Live Streaming: When And Where To Watch?
Last Updated: West Indies vs Australia 1st Test Cricket Live Streaming Details: Fans can watch West Indies vs Australia 1st Test live. West Indies take on Australia in the opening Test of an exciting three-match series at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados, from June 25. The Calypso Kings face off against the mighty Australians as the two teams kick off their campaigns in the ICC World Test Championship 2025-27 cycle. West Indies finished eighth in the previous WTC after winning just three of their thirteen Tests, losing eight. But the Roston Chase-led side will be taking confidence from their most recent Test bout with the Kangaroos, having beaten them at the Gabba early last year in one of Test cricket's most famous upsets. After losing the marquee final at Lord's against South Africa, Australia finished runners-up in their WTC 2023-25 campaign. Pat Cummins' men were considered favourites to lift the coveted crown with 13 wins in their previous 19 Tests, but got upstaged by the spirited Proteas at Lord's. They now enter a rebuilding phase with much of the scrutiny reserved for their batting unit following the axing of struggling Marnus Labuschagne. The first Test between West Indies and Australia will be played from Wednesday, June 25, at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados. The match will start at 7:30 PM IST. The toss for West Indies versus Australia 1st Test will take place at 7:00 PM IST. West Indies: Roston Chase (c), Jomel Warrican (vc), Kevlon Anderson, Kraigg Brathwaite, John Campbell, Keacy Carty, Justin Greaves, Shai Hope, Tevin Imlach, Alzarri Joseph, Shamar Joseph, Brandon King, Johann Layne, Mikyle Louis, Anderson Phillip, Jayden Seales. Australia: Pat Cummins (c), Sean Abbott, Scott Boland, Alex Carey, Cameron Green, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Usman Khawaja, Sam Konstas, Matt Kuhnemann, Marnus Labuschagne, Nathan Lyon, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc, Beau Webster.

Trying to be the best player for team at opening spot: Khawaja
Bridgetown: Ahead of the first Test against the West Indies, Australia batter Usman Khawaja said he is trying to best player for the side at the opening spot. After the retirement of David Warner last year, Australia have struggled to find his permanent replacement after testing multiple players for the job. For the series against the West Indies, the 19-year-old Sam Konstas has been given the role of rejoining Khawaja at the top after playing two Border-Gavaskar Trophy Tests against India. Meanwhile, the senior batter is aware of his abilities and knows what is his role in the team. "For me, I feel like I have plenty to give still. To be playing this series and the Ashes is the pinnacle. That's the one we all love winning and being involved in… after that there is a bit of a gap between that and the next Test series. We'll cross that bridge when we get there but for me it's about making sure I stay in the moment. Because if I'm not in the moment, I don't think I'm doing the right thing by myself and the team," he said ahead of the opening Test," he said. "I'm not the guy who's going (to say), 'I want to play for another ten years'. I'm very attuned to whatever is best for the team (and that) is what I'm trying to do. I'm not here for myself anymore. I'm here for the team. I could have stopped playing two years ago, really. But I found that I was still contributing, still trying to be the best player for the team at that opening spot, trying to do what I can do, (and) that hasn't changed for me. When it does, you guys will surely find out," he added. Khawaja hit a career-best double century earlier this year against Sri Lanka, but questions about his form resurfaced after he registered twin failures against Kagiso Rabada in the World Test Championship final. Those struggles extended a pattern of modest returns against pace bowling, following difficulties against Jasprit Bumrah last season and New Zealand's quicks earlier in 2024. Despite this, head coach Andrew McDonald, speaking after the Lord's Test, all but confirmed that Khawaja's spot is secure for the upcoming Ashes series later this year. Khawaja, who was the second-highest-scoring opener in the previous WTC cycle behind India's Yashasvi Jaiswal and also Australia's top run-getter overall, remains confident in his long-term record. He believes any recent dip in form is reflective of the demands of his role, especially during a period where top-order batting has been particularly tough. Since the beginning of 2024, Khawaja averaged 25.29 against pace -slightly below the global average for openers at 27.84 - but fares much better against spin, averaging 65.80. "I can't understand how I can (have a problem against seam bowling) if I can score so many runs in (Sheffield) Shield cricket or be the highest run-scorer for Australia in the WTC cycle," the 38-year-old said. "I open the batting for Australia. So I get out to seam more than I get out to anyone else. It's just part and parcel of the game. "I wish I could face more spinners, but you don't always get that opportunity. So, I'm facing the new-ball bowlers with the new ball every single time. I went back from Sri Lanka to domestic cricket and scored a hundred against Tasmania. I pretty much faced seam the whole time there (and) against Riley Meredith, who is one of the fastest bowlers in the country. "I understand I'm 38 years old. People will be looking for an excuse. (But) I think I've got a role to play: open the batting, starting off, and setting a good platform for Australia," he added. On partnering again with Konstas, Khawaja said, "I knew when and where he was going to drop and run a quick single, and I was ready for it." "There's obviously this series and then a big Ashes coming up. [You] probably want a little bit of stability at the top. It'll be tough to chop and change, and opening is a tough place. Mentally, it can be very tough. Going out there against the new ball and sometimes just getting a good ball and low scores." "I'm just looking forward to playing with Sammy, as much as on the field as helping him off the field. I've been through a lot in my life, a lot of ups and downs. There are lots of things I've seen throughout my career and most of them are not technical. More mindset things. If I can help Sammy through this journey, especially over the next couple of series, try and impart as much knowledge I can to him," he concluded.

Australia's Usman Khawaja ready to be a mentor for teenager Sam Konstas
Experienced Australia batter Usman Khawaja said he is ready to guide 19-year-old Sam Konstas through his journey as a Test opener as the pair prepare to walk out onto the pitch together for the first match against West Indies in Bridgetown. Konstas has been drafted in to replace Marnus Labuschagne, who opened in the World Test Championship final alongside Khawaja but failed to impress as Australia lost to South Africa by five wickets. 'It's an added role. To help Sammy along through his journey, trying to impart as much knowledge as I can. I won't be around forever,' Khawaja told reporters ahead of the match beginning on Wednesday. 'But it's very important that I can do whatever I can. Obviously, first and foremost, have a solid partnership between us, then a bit of stability at the top, and also guide him through this journey (sic). 'He's still very young; he's a 19-year-old boy, and it's quite exciting. There's obviously this series and then a big Ashes coming up.' READ: ENG vs IND, 1st Test Day 4: Rahul, Pant hundreds help India post 371-run target for England While Konstas will be eager to prove himself, the three-Test series will also give Khawaja another opportunity to quash any doubts about his ability to handle seam bowling. The 38-year-old struggled against South Africa, departing for a duck in the first innings and scoring just six runs in his second, losing his wicket on both occasions to fast bowler Kagiso Rabada. 'I can't understand how I can (have a problem against seam bowling) if I can score so many runs in Shield cricket or be the highest run-scorer for Australia in the WTC cycle,' Khawaja said. 'I open the batting for Australia. So I get out to seam more than I get out to anything else ... I understand I'm 38 years old. People will be looking for an excuse.'
