The West Indian cricket team toured Australia from October to December 2022 to play two Test matches and two Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is).[1] The T20Is formed part of both teams' preparations for the 2022 ICC Men's T20 World Cup,[2] while the Test matches formed part of the 2021–2023 ICC World Test Championship.[3][4] In May 2022, Cricket Australia confirmed the fixtures for the tour.[5]
Australia won the T20I series 2–0,[6] and the Test series 2–0, retaining the Frank Worrell Trophy in the process.[7]
Marnus Labuschagne scored 502 runs in the Test series, the most by any Australian in a two-Test series, surpassing Matthew Hayden's 501 against Zimbabwe in 2003–04.[8]

Background
Originally, the tour was scheduled to take place in October 2020,[9] however, on 28 May 2020, Cricket Australia confirmed the fixtures for the series.[10][11] Originally, the matches would have been used as warm-up fixtures for the 2020 ICC Men's T20 World Cup. However, in July 2020, the International Cricket Council (ICC) postponed the T20 World Cup until 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[12] In August 2020, the three T20I matches were also postponed due to the pandemic,[13] and a fixture clash with the revised schedule for the 2020 Indian Premier League.[14]
