AUS vs SL Test: Australia are set to lock horns with Sri Lanka in the first AUS vs SL Test of the two-match series. With Pat Cummins unavailable, Steve Smith will lead the Australian side. The visitors enter the series on the back of a dominant 3-1 triumph over India at home, securing their spot in the World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25 final.
Though the series won’t affect the WTC standings, both teams have their own motivations to win. Australia will look to secure victory as the ideal preparation for their WTC title defence against South Africa in June, while Sri Lanka aim to strengthen their home dominance and lay the groundwork for a stronger performance in the next Test championship cycle.
