Veteran Australia paceman Brett Lee has warned his fast bowling team-mates to expect unfavourable conditions during the tour of the Caribbean.
The 35-year-old will spearhead Australia's pace attack for the five one-day internationals and the two T20s against the West Indies that begin the tour.
None of Australia's touring cricketers has more experience in the Caribbean than Lee.
"Over here the wickets aren't really like what we're use to back home," Lee said.
"The days are gone now where we've got those hard, bouncy, fast wickets.
"The wickets we play on most days around the world now are low, slow wickets. So we are used to playing on that around the world and learning about these conditions as we quickly as we can."
Lee said the squad's less experienced pacemen, including James Pattinson, Clint McKay and Ben Hilfenhaus, would learn a lot.
He said: "It's just knowing your skills bowling on slower wickets, so I'll be doing my best to pass on knowledge to the young guys coming through from what I've learned bowling over here."
The New South Welshman is still recovering from a broken toe after he was struck by a ball in the last over of his spell during a T20 match against India at the MCG.
"I didn't want to have eight weeks off and miss this tour and miss this Australian summer, so I'm just playing with pain," he said.
But Lee insists he has no immediate plans of retiring from international cricket.
"I'm not going to put a time frame on my last game," he said. "With the way things are going I just want to keep playing for as long as I can.
"If I can do what I'm asked to do from a team point of view - to be the spearhead of the attack and to have a presence out there bowling, putting back in and helping the young guys come through and pass on my knowledge as its been passed on to me - [then I'm happy]."
