West Indies have named a very young squad for the Test Series. They have skillful players like Tevin Imlach, Jayden Seales, Keacy Carty and Justin Greaves.

West Indies would not start as favorites but they can certainly pack a punch against Australia, especially in their home conditions.

Australia are looking very strong on paper and they are expected to dominate West Indies in the upcoming Test Match.
