Cricket News: Australia name squads for Sri Lanka tour: No Marcus Harris | Australia name Test, ODI and T20I squads for Sri Lanka tour
Australia have named their squads for all three formats ahead of their tour of Sri Lanka in June and July. There is a total of 34 players who have been named for the tour, which also includes an ‘A’ squad for one-day and four-day matches.
Australia Test, ODI and T20I squads for Sri Lanka tour
Australia Test squad: Pat Cummins (c), Ashton Agar, Scott Boland, Alex Carey, Cameron Green, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Nathan Lyon, Mitchell Marsh, Steve Smith (vc), Mitchell Starc, Mitchell Swepson, David Warner
Australia ODI squad: Aaron Finch (c), Ashton Agar, Alex Carey, Pat Cummins, Cameron Green, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Marnus Labuschagne, Mitchell Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc, Marcus Stoinis, Mitchell Swepson, David Warner
Australia T20 squad: Aaron Finch (c), Sean Abbott, Ashton Agar, Josh Hazlewood, Josh Inglis, Mitchell Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Jhye Richardson, Kane Richardson, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc, Marcus Stoinis, Mitchell Swepson, Matthew Wade, David Warner
Australia will be close to full-strength across the three formats, with the tour to begin with three T20Is. Adam Zampa will sit out the whole tour as his first child is due to be born around that time. Pat Cummins will sit out the T20Is, but Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc, David Warner, Steve Smith, Matthew Wade and Glenn Maxwell are all available for both white-ball formats.
In addition to three T20Is and five ODIs, Australia will play two Tests. It is their second assignment in Asia this year after a successful Test series in Pakistan, where Pat Cummins aced his first major test as Test captain. Marcus Harris, despite his good form in First Class cricket, has missed selection, while Australia have picked three spin options in Mitchell Swepson, Nathan Lyon and Ashton Agar.
