- Australia opened their series in Barbados versus the West Indies with minimal changes to their bowling lineup following the defeat to South Africa, and it was confirmed that Cameron Green would take the No. 3 batting position.
- This section highlights Green’s comeback to cricket following almost a year sidelined by a lower-back injury, along with his earlier underwhelming performance in the World Test Championship final.

- Pat Cummins expressed confidence in Green’s current form and indicated that he is likely to have a solid opportunity batting at number three, while also acknowledging some unpredictability regarding the pitch conditions in Barbados; meanwhile, Joseph advised Konstas to remain alert and be prepared for what’s coming.
- The match marked a fresh World Test Championship cycle, with Australia backing Green as their long-term No. 3 despite technical concerns, and West Indies aiming to build on their shock win at the Gabba led by Joseph’s seven-wicket haul.
