Australia Tour Of Sri Lanka Schedule Announced, Set To Include 3 T20Is & 5 ODIs

The Australian men’s cricket team will be touring Sri Lanka in the month of June-July for a full-fledged series, Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) confirmed via an official release on March 25, Friday.

The tour will kick off with the 3-match T20I series followed by the 5-match ODI series. The teams will then move on to the traditional format and play 2 games, which will be part of the WTC 2021-23 cycle.

All the matches will be played across three venues – PICS in Kandy, R. Premadasa Cricket Stadium in Colombo, and Galle International Cricket Stadium in Galle. Both Tests will be played in Galle from June 29th to July 12.

“We are in for some exciting cricket, especially considering that an Australian tour to Sri Lanka is taking place after 5 years, since last time they toured Sri Lanka,” CEO of Sri Lanka Cricket, Ashley de Silva said.

“The T20 Series will help our preparations for the T20i World Cup, whilst the Test and ODI segments are also competitions of immense value for us, as we aim to move through the ICC World Test Championship rankings and also gearing up for the ICC Men’s World Cup in 2023,” De Silva further stated.

This will continue the Aussie team’s tough journey in the WTC, where they will play Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and India away from home. If they are to qualify for the finals, winning the Asian tour is of paramount importance.
