(Reuters) – Australia will play two tests in Sri Lanka as part of an all-format series when they tour the country in June and July for the first time since 2016, both cricket boards said yesterday.
The first test will be held from June 29-July 3 and the second from July 8-12, both in Galle.
The teams will also play three Twenty20 internationals and five one-day matches in Colombo and Kandy.
“There is no more challenging place to play cricket than on the subcontinent and this tour offers our players invaluable experience and another great opportunity to excel on the world stage,” said Nick Hockley, Cricket Australia CEO.
Sri Lanka won 3-0 when they last hosted Australia in a three-test series in 2016.
