The SL vs AUS 2025 test series will get underway on January 29 in Galle.

The upcoming SL vs AUS test series is part of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25 cycle, but its result won’t have any bearing on the final that’s already been sealed to be contested between Australia and South Africa at the Lord’s in June 2025.

Australia recently reclaimed the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) by defeating India at home by 3-1 margin. With the win over India, Australia booked their place in second consecutive ICC WTC final.

Sri Lanka, on the other hand, lost 0-2 in South Africa and 1-2 in England last year, but defeated New Zealand at home and Bangladesh in Bangladesh.

The SL vs AUS 2025 test series comprises of two test matches. Both tests will be played in Galle.

Australia are without their regular skipper Pat Cummins (ankle) and fast bowler Josh Hazlewood (calf) due to their respective injuries. Steve Smith will lead the visitors in the test series in Sri Lanka.
