The West Indian cricket team toured Australia from October to December 2022 to play two Test matches and two Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is). The T20Is formed part of both teams' preparations for the 2022 ICC Men's T20 World Cup, while the Test matches formed part of the 2021–2023 ICC World Test Championship. In May 2022, Cricket Australia confirmed the fixtures for the tour.
Australia won the T20I series 2–0, and the Test series 2–0, retaining the Frank Worrell Trophy in the process.
Marnus Labuschagne scored 502 runs in the Test series, the most by any Australian in a two-Test series, surpassing Matthew Hayden's 501 against Zimbabwe in 2003–04.
Background

In August 2020, the three T20I matches were also postponed due to the pandemic, and a fixture clash with the revised schedule for the 2020 Indian Premier League.
