Cricket West Indies has announced a packed 2026 home international season featuring bilateral series against Sri Lanka, New Zealand, and Pakistan. The schedule brings several months of top-level cricket across formats to major venues in the Caribbean Islands during the 2026 season.
The home season will be played from June 3 to August 6, 2026. Sri Lanka will play white-ball matches in Jamaica before moving to Antigua for the Test series. New Zealand will contest five ODIs in Guyana and Barbados, while Pakistan will conclude the summer with a two-match Test series in Trinidad and Tobago.
Cricket West Indies Announce Busy 2026 Home International Season
The home season will begin in Jamaica with the arrival of the Sri Lanka national cricket team. Sabina Park will host three ODIs and three T20Is between June 3 and June 14, 2026.
After the white-ball series, West Indies and Sri Lanka will travel to Antigua and Barbuda for a two-match Test series. Both Tests will be played at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, starting on June 25 and July 3, 2026.
The five-match ODI series between West Indies and New Zealand is scheduled to take place from July 11 to July 21, 2026. Guyana’s National Stadium was initially set to host all five matches, but logistical challenges forced Cricket West Indies to shift the final two games to the Kensington Oval in Barbados.
Pakistan will then tour the Caribbean in late July for a two-match Test series in Trinidad and Tobago. The opening Test will be played at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy from July 25 to 29, while the second match will take place at Queen's Park Oval from August 2 to 6.
