According to the CWI website, the 2026 home season will include international series against Sri Lanka, New Zealand, and Pakistan, bringing top-tier cricket to several regions and providing months of exciting activity. The remaining two games of the One-Day International series against New Zealand will now take place in Barbados, which has been included as a host location as part of the finalized itinerary. 

CWI CEO, Chris Dehring, explained the adjustment, “Cricket West Indies engaged in discussions with the Government of the Co-operative Republic of Guyana regarding logistical challenges associated with hosting the five ODIs. Subsequently, the Governments of Guyana and Barbados proposed a collaborative arrangement to share the matches and associated operational costs between the two territories. Following consultation with New Zealand Cricket, Cricket West Indies approved the arrangement as part of its continued commitment to delivering a successful and memorable series for players, fans, and the wider Caribbean community. Cricket West Indies wishes to express its sincere gratitude to the Governments of Guyana and Barbados for their cooperative spirit, flexibility, and swift action in ensuring the series proceeds without disruption.”
