Australia is set to play its first-ever overseas day-night Test match during its upcoming tour of the West Indies in July.
The tour includes a three-match Test series, with the final Test in Jamaica likely to be played under lights with a pink ball—provided floodlight upgrades at the stadium are completed on time. The first two Tests, scheduled in Barbados and Grenada, will follow the traditional red-ball format.
Cricket West Indies (CWI) confirmed the potential shift, noting that the Jamaica Test will be a day-night encounter if lighting improvements meet the required standards.
Cricket Australia has welcomed the idea, stating:
“We have no objections to a day-night Test and are waiting for further details from Cricket West Indies. Australia has always encouraged pink-ball Test cricket.”
The tour will run from June 25 to July 28 and includes three Test matches and five T20 Internationals.
