West Indies Playing 11 vs Australia- 3rd Test, Australia tour of West Indies 2025:
Openers: Kraigg Brathwaite, John Campbell
Former captain Kraigg Brathwaite will open the innings for West Indies along with John Campbell in the third and final Test of the ongoing series against Australia.
The opening partnership has been a cause of concern for the West Indies in the first two Test matches, and they will look to get that right in the upcoming match.
The pair hasn't been able to get going individually either, and have found it difficult to score against the new ball.
There is little to choose between Brathwaite and Campbell as far as the form of both batters is concerned.
If you have to be overly critical, then it can be said that Campbell got some runs in the last match, which transfers a bit more pressure on the experienced batter, Brathwaite.
The Windies management would wish for the openers to get the team off to a solid start to give them a chance of winning the game.
The last game of the series is important for the hosts concerning their position in the WTC points table.
Middle-order batsmen and all-rounders: Keacy Carty, Brandon King, Justin Greaves, Shai Hope (wk), Roston Chase (c)
The openers will be followed by a middle order that has also had a tough time against the Australian fast bowling trio of Starc, Cummins, and Hazlewood.
The Windies' middle order, which includes young players like Keacy Carty, Test captain Roston Chase, ODI captain Shai Hope, and right-hand batter Brandon King, would like to put on a strong performance.
Middle-order batters will have to take the responsibility and score the majority of the runs for the team, looking at the form of the opening batters.
Indies will also have the services of fast bowling all-rounder Justin Greaves, who will look to contribute more with the bat to end the series on a positive note after a decent outing with the ball in the last match.
Bowlers: Anderson Phillip, Alzarri Joseph, Shamar Joseph, Jayden Seales
Windies would be happy with the way the team's fast bowlers have performed in the first two matches.
The trio of Shamar Joseph, Alzarri Joseph, and Jayden Seales have been able to restrict West Indies to a reasonable score in both matches.
It is the batting that has undone the good work of the West Indies' bowlers through some indecisive strokeplay.
Coming back to the bowlers, the responsibility will once again be on Shamar Joseph, who has been the pick of the bowlers for the home side and will be banked upon to get the better of the Australian top order early in the third Test.
Shamar will be supported by Alzarri Joseph and Jayden Seales, both of whom have bowled their hearts out in the series so far.
Indies went into the second Test with four genuine fast bowlers, with Anderson Phillip replacing Jomel Warrican in the playing XI, and are expected to retain the same combination for the final match of the series.
