Australia cricket team to tour Sri Lanka in early 2025
Sri Lanka will host Australia for two Tests, a part of the ongoing cycle of the World Test Championship, and a single ODI, which will help both teams bolster their preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy in Pakistan.
The first Test will begin on January 29 in Galle, and the second Test will kick off on February 6 at the same venue. Both teams will square off in the sole ODI on February 13, but the venue remains to be decided.
The two Tests could influence the fate of teams standing in contention to feature in the WTC final next year in London. Australia hold a strong position en route to the WTC final. The Baggy Greens currently sit in the second position with a point percentage of 62.5 per cent.
On the other hand, Sri Lanka continue to breathe down Sri Lanka's neck in the third spot with a point percentage of 55.56 per cent. The result of the series could shape the WTC final depending on how the other results unfold before the beginning of the series
