Australia has officially confirmed its upcoming tour of Sri Lanka in early 2025, featuring two critical Test matches followed by an ODI. This tour is set to kick off on January 29 with the first Test, both Tests contributing to the World Test Championship (WTC). Cricket fans can expect an intense series, with the matches taking place at the renowned Galle International Stadium, known for its spin-friendly pitches that could challenge even the most skilled batters.
The second Test will begin on February 6, wrapping up just days before Australia and Sri Lanka head into the Champions Trophy. The ODI, scheduled for February 13, will serve as a tune-up for both teams as they prepare for the multi-nation tournament. The venue for the ODI remains under wraps, but all eyes are set on the potential lineup and strategy each team will bring to this action-packed series.
Australia, currently ranked second in the WTC standings, will face off against a determined Sri Lankan team positioned in third. The last Test series between these two in Sri Lanka ended in a 1-1 draw, with Australia clinching the first Test by 10 wickets and Sri Lanka roaring back with an innings victory in the second match. With both teams eager to make their mark on the WTC rankings, the stakes couldn’t be higher.
