Sri lanka vs australia test: The Australia team, which has already confirmed its place in the final of the World Test Championship, is now on a tour of Sri Lanka. A series of two Test matches will be played here, which will be a part of WTC. Although Australia captain Pat Cummins in this series, Steve Smith has been commanded. Meanwhile, a day before the match, captain Steve Smith has surprised some of his things. The team is going to get a new opening pair in the first Test, that is, the player who clashed with Jaspreet Bumrah during the India vs Australia series could be discharged. However, the playing XI has not been announced yet.
Sri Lanka and Australia will be played from 29 January
The first match of the two -Test series between Sri Lanka and Australia will be played in Gaul on 29 January. For this, the Australian team is preparing for this. Meanwhile, Steve Smith has said that in the first match, Osman will take the field for Trevis head opening with Khwaja. However, when Team India went on a tour of Australia earlier, Nathan Makswini and Sam Contas changed to opening with Usman Khwaja, but now the picture has changed. That is, neither Nathan Makswini nor Sam Constas will be seen in the opening. In such a situation, one of it may be discharged from the playing eleven. During the India vs Australia Series i.e. Border Gavaskar Trophy, Sam Constas got entangled with Indian team's fast bowler Jaspreet Bumrah, after which he faced criticism from all sides.
Australia adopted the same strategy even on India tour
In fact, when the Australian team visited India in the year 2023, Usman Khwaja and Travis Head started the innings and they were successful. Now there is a series in Sri Lanka. The pitches of India and Sri Lanka remain almost the same, so Australia has decided to go to the same formula again. Captain Steve Smih also praised the Travis Head and said that he had shown a good game against India with a new ball. Meanwhile, when Steve Smith was asked about the playing XI of the first Test, he refused. That is, the team will be told only when there is a toss before the match starts in the morning.
Sam Contas and Nathan Makswini will get only one chance
Sam Contas has not been out of the playing XI yet, but it is certain that both Sam Costas and Nathan McSwini will not be seen in this match. With the arrival of Travis Head for the opening, the number five slot will be empty, it will have to be seen who the Australian team sends to play here. Regarding Sam Contas, Steve Smith has said that if he wants to play against Sri Lanka, he will have a lot of practice. Although this series does not matter much, but it is definitely that it will definitely be interesting to see how the Australian team plays on Sri Lanka's spin pitches.
