Australia drops Marnus Labuschagne after poor WTC Final form. Cameron Green moves to No.3, Josh Inglis replaces injured Steve Smith at No.4.
Sam Konstas, who impressed vs India, partners Usman Khawaja as opener. Labuschagne left out despite being a "key member" long-term.
Steve Smith misses Barbados Test due to WTC Final injury. No timeline for return, casting doubt on his availability for the full series.
No surprises: Cummins, Starc, Hazlewood, Lyon lead attack. Scott Boland ignored again despite strong domestic performances.
Chief selector George Bailey: "Marnus knows his output hasn’t met expectations. We back him to bounce back but need changes now."
Khawaja, Konstas, Green, Inglis, Head, Webster, Carey (WK), Cummins (C), Starc, Hazlewood, Lyon. Big gamble on new faces!
June 25-30, Barbados. Can Australia rebound after WTC Final humiliation? West Indies eye upset against revamped batting order.
