Cricket West Indies has announced the 2026 home international season which includes bilateral series against Sri Lanka, New Zealand and Pakistan. The schedule will bring several months of top-level cricket across all formats at key venues across the Caribbean Islands during the 2026 season.
The domestic season will be played from June 3 to August 6, 2026. Sri Lanka will play white-ball matches in Jamaica before traveling to Antigua for the Test series. New Zealand will play 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 announces busy 2026 domestic international season
The domestic season will begin with the arrival of the Sri Lanka national cricket team in Jamaica. Sabina Park will host three ODIs and three T20 matches 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 the Tests will be played on June 25 and July 3, 2026 at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium.
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 scheduled to host all five matches, but logistical challenges forced Cricket West Indies to move the final two matches to Kensington Oval in Barbados.
Pakistan will then tour the Caribbean for a two-match Test series in Trinidad and Tobago in late July. The opening Test will be played at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy from July 25 to 29, while the second match will be played at the Queens Park Oval from August 2 to 6.
Approved this arrangement as part of its continued commitment – CEO of Cricket West Indies
CWI Chief Executive Chris Dehring Revealed the venue change for the upcoming ODI series between West Indies and New Zealand. He said the decision was taken after discussions regarding logistical and operational challenges.
“Cricket West Indies is engaged in discussions with the Government of the Co-operative Republic of Guyana regarding the logistical challenges associated with hosting five ODI matches. Subsequently, the Governments of Guyana and Barbados proposed a cooperative arrangement to share the matches and associated operating costs between the two territories.”
“After consultation with New Zealand Cricket, Cricket West Indies approved this arrangement as part of its continued commitment to delivering a successful and memorable series for the players, fans and the wider Caribbean community.”
