Watch Australia v West Indies and New Zealand v Sri Lanka on Sky

After contesting a cracking series against each other, Australia and New Zealand are moving on to the challenges of West Indies and Sri Lanka respectively, live on Sky Sports.

The Baggy Greens - 2-0 winners over New Zealand in a series which featured the inaugural day-night Test - welcome West Indies for three Tests, in Hobart, Melbourne and Sydney respectively.

New Zealand, meanwhile, entertain Sri Lanka in two Tests - Dunedin and Hamilton are the venues - before facing them in five one-day internationals and a pair of T20I clashes.

The first Tests of each series begin on Thursday, December 10 - late Wednesday in the UK - and Sky Sports will bring you live and uninterrupted coverage of them both.

Australia bounced back from their Ashes defeat to England by putting in some confident displays against the Black Caps - David Warner plundering 693 runs across the three matches and Usman Khawaja and Joe Burns posting hundreds on their return to the international fold.

However, Steve Smith's men must tackle West Indies without Mitchell Johnson after the left-arm paceman, who amassed 313 Test wickets, retired from Australia duty during the New Zealand series.

Brendon McCullum's Kiwis fought hard for a series-drawing win in the maiden day-night Test in Adelaide, taking seven Baggy Greens wickets before the hosts scrambled over the line.

There were plenty of positives for New Zealand to take - if you overlook their 208-run reverse at The Gabba - with Ross Taylor notching a double ton and Kane Williamson collecting two centuries.

Sri Lanka, meanwhile, beat West Indies 2-0 at home in their previous Test series in October - Dimuth Karunaratne hitting 186 during an innings win in the first Test and Rangana Herath ending the series with 15 wickets.

The defeat was another low for the West Indies, though, and the Caribbean outfit suffered another one at the weekend as they lost by 10 wickets to a Cricket Australia XI featuring five players making their first-class debuts.
