# West Indian cricket team in Australia in 2023–24

The West Indies cricket team toured Australia in January and February 2024 to play two Tests, three One Day International (ODI) and three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches. The Test series, where the teams were competing for the Frank Worrell Trophy, formed part of the 2023–2025 ICC World Test Championship. The T20I series formed part of both teams' preparation for the 2024 Men's T20 World Cup tournament.
Australia won the first Test by 10 wickets. The West Indies won the second Test by 8 runs, to draw the Test series 1-1. The defeat in the second Test was Australia's first ever in day/night Tests after winning on the previous 11 occasions. It was the West Indies' first Test win in Australia since February 1997. Australia won all three ODI matches, whitewashing the West Indies.
