West Indies and Bangladesh, meanwhile, have not yet recorded a victory. On their visit to Sri Lanka, Bangladesh was able to salvage a draw, but the Australians outperformed the West Indies at home. Batting collapses were common in Test cricket because West Indies hitters lacked the patience and technique to bat for extended periods.
South Africa, Pakistan, and New Zealand have not yet participated in a Test match this cycle. Later this year, the reigning champions, South Africa, will start their campaign. Two Test matches will be part of their multi-format series trip of India.
