Ben Oliver, CA Executive General Manager National Teams said: “Australia and the West Indies share a rich history, and we’re delighted the Test series has been expanded to three matches. 
  
“The series will start the next World Test Championship cycle and, as we saw last summer, we will have to be at our best to retain the Frank Worrell Trophy. 
  
“The additional T20 matches against a dynamic West Indies team will also provide a great opportunity to progress our preparation for the next T20 World Cup which is now only 12 months away.”
