Australian cricket was relieved to learn a full-strength West Indies touring squad would be heading here later this month, Cricket Australia said on Tuesday.
Reinstated captain Chris Gayle and fellow senior players, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Ramnaresh Sarwan and Dwayne Bravo have been included in the touring team after missing a home series against Bangladesh and the Champions Trophy over a contractual dispute with the West Indies Cricket Board.
The West Indies, currently ranked eighth of the nine Test-playing nations, are scheduled to tour Australia for three Tests, Twenty20 and one-day matches from this month.
"We've seen in recent times where a West Indies side has struggled against Bangladesh and others and it's a great relief to know they're going to be full strength," CA chief executive James Sutherland told reporters.
