SL vs AUS Tests: Team news & injury updates
Australia announced their squad for the Test series on January 9. Regular red-ball skipper Pat Cummins is not taking part due to being on paternity leave, as well as "focusing on an ankle issue which was managed through the Test summer". His fitness is set to be monitored ahead of the Champions Trophy, where he is part of Australia's squad.
Stand-in captain Steve Smith had an injury scare while fielding in the Big Bash League last weekend, but has since been cleared to join the squad. Spinner Matthew Kuhnemann had to undergo surgery on his thumb after a BBL injury but is expected to make it to Sri Lanka. Three uncapped players – Josh Inglis, Sean Abbott and Cooper Connolly – are part of the squad.
Sri Lanka are yet to announce their squad for the series, but have a couple of injury concerns. Star batter Kamindu Mendis split the webbing on his hand last week, but has been cleared to take part in the series. There are still doubts over skipper Dhananjaya de Silva (side) and opener Pathum Nissanka (groin).
