It is time for red-ball action as Sri Lanka will host the reigning World Test Championship holders Australia for a two-match test series. This series is part of the ongoing WTC cycle, but the result won’t have any influence on the final as Australia and South Africa have already secured their places.

The first test between Sri Lanka and Australia will begin on Wednesday morning at 10 AM at the Galle International Stadium.

Australia are coming off a historic 3-1 series win over India. But they have rested some of their key players, and some new faces will get a chance to showcase their skillset. Sri Lanka at home are very strong, and should pose a huge threat to the Aussies.
