2015 Australia Tour of West Indies June 03 - 15,2015

 
Australia, a team West Indies have not beaten in a Test for 12 years, and in a series for 23 years.

Since January 1, 2000, West Indies have played 25 Tests without Shivnarine Chanderpaul. They have won just one of them, against Sri Lanka in Kingston in 2003 
That was also the same year - 2003 - that West Indies last beat Australia in a Test, with their world-record chase of 418 in Antigua

Shivnarine Chanderpaul has been left out of West Indies' 14-member squad to face Australia in the first of two Tests starting June 3,2015.He is 87 runs short of breaking the record for most Test runs by a West Indian, but has hit a trough of poor form and both chairman of selectors Clive Lloyd and coach Phil Simmons had felt he did not have a place in their best XI
Shivnarine Chanderpaul made only 92 runs at an average of 15.33 in the three Tests against England in April and May. He has had six single-digit scores and only one fifty in his last 10 innings

The uncapped duo  Shane Dowrich(WK) and Rajindra Chandrika finds place in the WI Squad

Opening batsman Shai Hope, who made his debut against England, retains his spot. Spinners Devendra Bishoo and Veerasammy Permaul, who played only one of the three Tests of that series, have kept their places as well. The fast bowling will be headed by Jerome Taylor, Kemar Roach, Jason Holder and Shannon Gabriel.
