ANTIGUA: Cricket West Indies (CWI) has announced the 2026 domestic international season, with tours by Sri Lanka and New Zealand set to bring months of top-level cricket across the Caribbean.
The schedule begins with Jamaica hosting an all-white-ball series against Sri Lanka from June 3 to June 14 at Sabina Park.
The tour includes three one-day internationals and three T20 internationals before both teams travel to Antigua for a two-match Test series at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium.
Focus has turned to the five-match ODI series against New Zealand, with the opening three matches scheduled in Guyana before the final two matches are played in Barbados following a revised hosting arrangement between the two territories.
CWI chief executive Chris Dehring said the changes were made after joint discussions with regional governments and New Zealand Cricket to ensure the smooth delivery of the series.
He explained that logistical considerations in Guyana led to a shared hosting model with Barbados, allowing both countries to contribute to staging responsibilities while maintaining the integrity of the schedule.
Dehring thanked the governments of Guyana and Barbados for their cooperation and flexibility, saying their rapid integration process would continue without interruption.
“Without out!” He further highlighted fan engagement efforts under The campaign aims to strengthen the connection between supporters and the West Indies team through enhanced match day experiences, social and digital content.
“West Indies cricket has always been about more than what happens on the field. It’s about the people, the passion, the culture, the pride and the unparalleled energy that our fans bring to life when they rally behind the maroon,” he said.
“‘Out!’ In celebration of that spirit, every cricket fan and proud West Indian is invited to come out, fill the stands, wave their flags and create the atmosphere that makes West Indies cricket great.
He said the upcoming summer season will feel like a regional movement and supporters will be fully engaged throughout the series.
The full schedule is expected to provide a significant boost to Caribbean cricket, with high-quality matches across all formats and strong attendances across venues.
