Australia will play both the Tests on their tour of Sri Lanka next year at the Galle International Stadium.

Australia will play two Tests and a one-off ODI on their tour of the island nation in January-February 2025.

The opening Test match is scheduled to start on January 29, followed by the second Test beginning February 6. The ODI will be played on February 13.

The Tests will be part of ICC World Test Championship 2023-25 cycle. Currently, India lead the standings, with Australia in second position and Sri Lanka occupying the third place.
