Sri Lanka's team is to play a two-match Test series against Australia at home from January 29, both matches of which will be played at the Galle ground. Pathum Nissanka and Kamendu Mendis have been included in the Sri Lankan team.
The Sri Lankan team has announced an 18-member team for the upcoming 2-match Test series against Australia. Three players who are not fully fit have not been included in this Sri Lankan team. Dhananjay de Silva will be seen captaining Sri Lanka in this Test series. Sri Lanka will play the first match of this Test series on the Galle ground from January 29, while the second Test match will also be played on the same ground from February 6, after which a 2-match ODI series will also be played between the two teams.
In the Sri Lankan team announced for the 2-match Test series against Australia, Pathum Nissanka, Dhananjay de Silva and Kamendu Mendis are three players who are not fully fit yet, so it seems a bit difficult for them to play in the first match. Two uncapped players Lahiru Udana and Sonal Dinusha have got a place in this Test squad of Sri Lanka, who also get a chance to make their debut in Test cricket. The Australian team for the Warne-Murali Test series has already been announced, in which Steve Smith will take over the captaincy in this Test for the Kangaroo team, which has confirmed its place in the final of the World Test Championship 2023-25.
Dhananjaya de Silva (captain), Dimuth Karunaratne, Pathum Nissanka, Oshada Fernando, Lahiru Udana, Dinesh Chandimal, Angelo Mathews, Kamindu Mendis, Kusal Mendis, Sadeera Samarawickrama, Sonal Dinusha, Prabhath Jayasuriya, Jeffrey Vandersay, Nishan Peiris, Asitha Fernando, Vishwa Fernando, Lahiru Kumara, Milan Rathnayake.
