Pakistan tour of West Indies 2026: Full schedule, squads, match timings and where to watch in India

After losing the two-match Test series against Bangladesh, Pakistan have shifted their focus to the upcoming two-match red-ball series against West Indies as they aim to keep their hopes of qualifying for the World Test Championship (WTC) 2025-27 final alive. 

It will also be the second chapter in Babar Azam's leadership, who returns with responsibility during the series and is expected to be in the position for their next three-match Test series against England in August.

The Pakistan selectors took a few bold decisions against the West Indies as they left out their left-arm pacer, Shaheen Shah Afridi, while Hasan Ali has also been dropped. There is no place for Naseem Shah either, along with the left-arm spinner, Noman Ali. 

The West Indies, under the leadership of Roston Chase, will also be without their star pacer, Alzarri Joseph, who has decided to decline selection for the series due to personal reasons.
