Australia will play Sri Lanka in Galle for both Test matches in series
ABCAustralia are set to face a trial by spin in Sri Lanka, with both Tests of the looming series to again be played in Galle. Sri Lankan officials confirmed the fixtures for next year's series on Friday, with the first Test to start on January 29 and the second on February 6, before one solitary ODI game at a yet-to-be confirmed venue on February 13. Australia's first Test at the ground in 2022 was over before lunch on day three, with spinners taking 25 of the 30 wickets for the match. But even then, Sri Lanka debutant Prabath Jayasuriya took 12 wickets for the match as Australia were spun out and surrendered their series lead. Australia's players are due to arrive in Sri Lanka on January 20, meaning it's expected batters will likely play out the regular season of the BBL before missing the finals.
