After the two-match Test series, Sri Lanka and Australia are scheduled to lock horns in the two-match ODI series. Both the matches are set to be played at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.
The matches are extremely important for Australia with the ICC Champions Trophy set to commence within a week after the conclusion of this series. The two ODIs will be played on February 12 and 14. Notably, only a solitary ODI was scheduled earlier but Sri Lanka Cricket and Cricket Australia added one more match recently facilitating more practice for the latter team ahead of the showpiece event.
At the same time, Sri Lanka have not qualified for the Champions Trophy having finished outside the top 8 in the ODI World Cup in 2023 in India. Having said that, they will be gearing up for the 2027 World Cup and will be looking at this series as a massive preparation.
Australia will be at full strength as they are also preparing for the Champions Trophy and Sri Lanka will be tested to the hilt. The squads of both teams are yet to be announced but it is very much likely that Australia will retain the entire Champions Trophy squad.
However, they are sweating on the fitness of skipper Pat Cummins and pace bowler Josh Hazlewood. While they are confident of Hazlewood recovering from his hamstring injury on time, there is a doubt over Cummins’ participation as of now.
