Cricket lovers across the Caribbean have reason to celebrate as Cricket West Indies has officially unveiled a packed 2026 Men's International Home Series that will deliver world-class cricket to multiple territories under its energetic new "WI OUTSIDE!" campaign.

The 2026 home season will feature international series against Sri Lanka, New Zealand, and Pakistan, bringing high-calibre cricket to Jamaica, Antigua and Barbuda, Guyana, Barbados, and Trinidad and Tobago over a thrilling summer stretch running from June through August.

Antigua Gets Two Tests Against Sri Lanka

Cricket fans in Antigua and Barbuda have two marquee fixtures to look forward to. The Sir Vivian Richards Stadium will host a two-match Test series against Sri Lanka, with the first Test scheduled for June 25–29 and the second from July 3–7, both starting at 10:00 a.m. AST. The prospect of Test cricket returning to the hallowed turf of the SVR Stadium is sure to generate significant excitement across the twin-island nation.

Season Opens in Jamaica

The summer officially gets underway in Jamaica with a white-ball series against Sri Lanka from June 3–14, featuring three One Day Internationals and three T20 Internationals, all to be played at Sabina Park.

New Zealand Series Splits Between Guyana and Barbados

A five-match ODI series against New Zealand follows, with Guyana's National Stadium hosting the opening three matches on July 11, 13, and 16, before the series concludes at Kensington Oval in Barbados with the final two encounters on July 19 and 21.

The addition of Barbados as a co-host came after Cricket West Indies engaged with the Government of Guyana regarding logistical challenges associated with staging all five ODIs. Subsequently, the Governments of Guyana and Barbados proposed a collaborative arrangement to share the matches and operational costs between the two territories, which New Zealand Cricket approved.

CWI CEO Chris Dehring expressed gratitude for the cooperative spirit that made the arrangement possible, saying the organisation remains committed to delivering a successful and memorable series for players, fans, and the wider Caribbean community.

Pakistan Tests to Make History in Trinidad

The final leg of the home season takes place in Trinidad and Tobago, where West Indies will face Pakistan in a two-match Test series. The first Test is set for July 25–29 at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy — which will host its first-ever international Test match — followed by the second Test at Queen's Park Oval from August 2–6.

"WI OUTSIDE!" — A Movement, Not Just a Campaign

Throughout the season, the "WI OUTSIDE!" campaign will serve as the unifying theme connecting fans and players through immersive match-day entertainment, school and community outreach programmes, digital fan experiences, exclusive behind-the-scenes content, and interactive fan engagement activities across the Caribbean.

Dehring captured the spirit of the initiative. "West Indies cricket has always been about more than what happens on the field. It is about people, passion, culture, pride, and the unmatched energy that comes alive when our fans rally behind the maroon," he said. "'WI OUTSIDE!' is a celebration of that spirit and an invitation to every cricket fan and proud West Indian to come out, fill the stands, wave their flags, and create the kind of atmosphere that makes West Indies cricket special. We want this summer to feel like a movement across the region."
