Sri Lanka vs Australia Test Series: The Australian cricket team has reached the final of the World Test Championship, which will be played in June. This final match is to be held between Australia and South Africa. But a few more matches are left before this great match of WTC. Although these do not mean anything, still the team will get a chance to prepare for themselves. The Australian team is soon going to visit Sri Lanka, where two test matches are to be held. These matches will also be part of the World Test Championship.
Two test matches will be played between Sri Lanka and Australia
Currently, the Pakistani team is playing a two-Test series against West Indies under the World Test Championship. Its first match has taken place, in which Pakistan has won. There is still one match left. However, this series between Pakistan and West Indies will not make any difference, because both the teams have long ago been out of the race for the WTC final. Now the turn of Sri Lanka vs Australia series. Which is to start from 29th January.
Steve Smith declared fit, will take command of the team
Meanwhile, Cricket Australia has made a big announcement. Pat Cummins will not be in this series. It is said that he is about to become a father, so he has taken a break. In his place, the command of the team has been handed over to Steve Smith. But breathing stopped when Steve Smith got injured. However, it has now become clear that he is completely fit and will be seen as captain in the Test series against Sri Lanka. Steve Smith was currently playing in BBL i.e. Big Bash League and there he got injured in the match against Sydney Thunder. Actually, it rained in that match and when the match started again, Steve Smith’s foot slipped while fielding. After this he was examined and the doctors’ committee also gave him the green signal to play in the Sri Lanka series.
Australia has a chance to reach number one in the points table
The Australian team has already reached the final of the World Test Championship and is also at number two in the WTC points table. The only thing that will happen in this series is that the Australian team will win the series and reach the first position, which is currently occupied by South Africa. Australia has also given a chance to some new and out-of-form batsmen for this series, so that they can regain their rhythm before the final. Even if the Sri Lankan team is successful in winning this series, there will be no impact on its health, because the team is already in fifth position.
