Injury concerns hit Australia squad ahead of West Indies Tests

Australia have been dealt an injury blow going into the three-match Test series against the West Indies, with pacer Brendan Doggett ruled out due to a minor hip issue.

While Doggett didn’t feature in the ICC World Test Championship 2025 Final, he was a travelling reserve in the squad. His place will be taken by Sean Abbott, who has featured for Australia in 48 internationals, and has 59 wickets in limited-overs international cricket, but is yet to make his Test debut.

Abbott was also a part of the group that travelled to Sri Lanka during their successful outing in the island nation earlier this year.

Australia's Test squad: Pat Cummins (c), Sean Abbott, Scott Boland, Alex Carey, Cameron Green, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Usman Khawaja, Sam Konstas, Matt Kuhnemann, Marnus Labuschagne, Nathan Lyon, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc, Beau Webster
