Aussies to play first Lankan Test tour in 5-year

Australia on Wednesday announced their first Test tour of Sri Lanka in five years, with the world’s number one team embarking on a two-month series from July.
Steve Smith’s side will play three Tests-in Kandy, Galle and Colombo-along with five one-day internationals and two Twenty20s, Cricket Australia said on its website, with the team departing on July 11.

Only three members of Australia’s most recent Test side-Nathan Lyon, Peter Siddle and Usman Khawaja-have experienced the five-day game in Sri Lanka, when Michael Clarke’s team won their last series 1-0 in 2011.

July 26-30 - 1st Test, Kandy
August 4-8 - 2nd Test, Galle
August 13-17 - 3rd Test, Colombo
August 21 - 1st ODI, Colombo

August 31 - 4th ODI, Dambulla
