In March 2021, Cricket West Indies (CWI) named Seales as a developmental player for the first Test match against Sri Lanka.[8] In June 2021, Seales was named in a 17-man provisional squad for the Test series against South Africa.[9] Prior to his selection, Seales had only played in ten professional matches, including just one first-class fixture.[10] On 8 June 2021, CWI named Seales in the squad for the first Test against South Africa.[11] On being named in the squad, Seales said that it was a "a dream come true" and hoped that he would be selected for the match.[12] Seales made his Test debut on 6 June 2021, for the West Indies against South Africa.[13] Despite a heavy defeat for the West Indies in the match, Seales took three wickets, including a wicket in the first over he bowled.[14]
