SL VS AUS: Australia Name Squads for Sri Lanka Tour

SL VS AUS: Andrew McDonald’s first tour as permanent head coach has been marked by significant improvements in all three formats. Pat Cummins will lead a 16-man squad to Galle for the two-Test series. While Aaron Finch will oversee an enlarged white-ball squad. Marcus Harris has been left out of the Test squad entirely after losing his place at the top of the order to Usman Khawaja during the Australian summer.

Cummins will be absent from the T20 leg in order to prepare for the Tests and ODIs. While Adam Zampa will be out due to the birth of his first child. Following Justin Langer’s departure, Andrew McDonald took over as interim coach in Pakistan. While he helped in winning the Test series as part of the World Test Championship and taking the sole T20I in a victorious tour. Despite rumors and calls for him to be selected for the Test leg of the tour, Glenn Maxwell is still only a white ball-player, who has been named in ODI and T20I squads.

Also, with crucial World Test Championship points on the line, the tourists can ill-afford a repeat of their 3-0 clean sweep of Sri Lanka in 2016. While in the second Test of the series, the Australians were bowled out for 106 and 183 runs in Galle. Then finally losing by 229 runs. The tourists fared better in white-ball cricket, winning both the T20I and ODI series easily.

“It is Bulk of the Squad for the T20 World Cup”: George Bailey

The tour is one of three overseas tours planned for the Australian squad in 2022. Which will also visit India in October for the Border-Gavaskar series. Two one-day matches will be played in Sri Lanka by the Australian A squad as well. Here are all the collected cricket betting odds and scheduled matches in the upcoming future.

“These are very targeted to skill sets and what we see as the bulk of the squad for the home T20 World Cup. And looking further forward to the ODI World Cup. We were able to continue to build our depth with great white ball performances in Pakistan on the back of a superb Test Series. As selectors, this has been one of the most rewarding parts amid the challenges of the past few years.”

Said Men’s Chair of National Selectors George Bailey in a statement
