The Australian cricket team will make a full tour of Sri Lanka in June-July playing a series in all three formats.
The tour itinerary released by Sri Lanka Cricket yesterday has Australia and Sri Lanka playing a series of three T20Is, five ODIs and two Tests.
The tour will commence with the T20I series at the R. Premadasa Stadium on 7 June and will continue in Pallekele and Galle.
Galle will host the two Tests which will be part of the ICC World Test Championships.
“We are in for some exciting cricket, especially considering that an Australian tour to Sri Lanka is taking place after five years,’’ said Sri Lanka Cricket CEO Ashley de Silva.
“The T20 series will help in our preparations for the T20I World Cup, whilst the Test and ODI segments are also competitions of immense value for us, as we aim to move through the ICC World Test Championship rankings and also gear up for the ICC Men’s World Cup in 2023,” de Silva added further.
