Australia is playing 11 vs West Indies- 2 Tests, Australia Tour of West Indies 2025:
Opener Opener: Usman Khwaja, Sam Constas
Australia will once again open an innings with the pair of Usman Khwaja and Sam Constas in the upcoming second test of the three -match series against the West Indies.
Contas promised to make his debut against India in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against India last year, but there were not many opportunities since then.

Constas will have another opportunity to prove his credibility as a opener in the longest format of the game, with the hope of Marnas Labschagan being out of the second Test.
Sam Constas will be partnered by Usman Khwaja, who had been reduced to half a century while riding his luck in the first innings of the first Test.
Khwaja will again take responsibility for himself to see the new ball, as he did in the first match of a new WTC cycle.
Both will expect the team to make a solid start, something they failed to do in the previous game.
Middle-order batsman and all-rounders: Cameron Green, Steve Smith, Travis Head, Bu Webster, Alex Kerry (WK)
The initial pair will be followed by a middle order, with a decent outing in the first match as the choice of Bu Webster and Alex Kerry took the team into a competitive clan after failing in the first innings.
Saying that, team management wants Cameron Green and Steve Smith get a big score under their belt in the upcoming game, to gain some confidence before the third and final test of the series.
The Australians will once again wish for two of their experienced fast bowlers, Captain Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc, to make valuable contribution with the bat as they did in both innings of the first Test.
Bowler: Pat Cummins (C), Mitchell Starc, Nathan Leone, Josh Hazlewood
Australia would like their bowlers to maintain good work done by Bowling West Indies in the first match and bring visitors back to the game after a disappointing performance by the batsmen.
The West Indies will be on a trio of Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazelwood and Captain Pat Cummins to limit the West Indies.
Fast bowlers will be supported by Nathan Leone, who will see to stem the flow of runs from one end to pressurize the Windes batter.
Australia is expected to maintain the same bowling combination for the second test of the series, which is to be played on Wednesday (July 3).
