Sri Lanka’s Galle International Stadium will stage the two-Test series against Australia in late January-early February next year, the country’s cricket board said on Friday.
The first Test will begin on January 29 and the second will commence on February 6. The teams will also meet in a one-day international on February 13 at an as yet unnamed venue.
The Tests are part of the International Cricket Council’s World Test Championship cycle for 2023-25. Australia are second in the standings behind India, with Sri Lanka in third place.
Australia last toured Sri Lanka in an all-format series in 2022, with the hosts winning the ODI series and the visitors taking victory in the Twenty20 international series, while both teams won one Test match each.
