In an exciting announcement for cricket fans, Australia are set to tour Sri Lanka for a two-match Test series and a one-off One Day International (ODI) in January and February 2025. This tour marks another chapter in the longstanding cricket rivalry between the two nations and will feature matches that are part of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC).

As the cricketing world looks forward to the upcoming matches, both teams will be keen to assert their dominance ahead of the Champions Trophy, making this tour a must-watch for fans and experts alike.
