The third Test between the West Indies and Australia from April 23 to 27 has been moved from Guyana to Windsor Park in Dominica, the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) announced on Friday.

"The change in venue is as a result of the situation in Guyana owing to the government of Guyana's push to take over the management and governance of cricket in the country," read a statement from the WICB.

"The Guyana Cricket Board, which is the agent of the WICB and the legitimate cricketing authority, has been prevented from undertaking the necessary tasks needed to ensure the successful hosting of the match."

The West Indies and Australia will play five one-day internationals, two Twenty20 internationals and three Test matches between March 16 and April 27.
