Seven’s summer of cricket continues this Thursday LIVE from The Gabba with a fresh Aussie line-up eager to reclaim the Warne-Muralitharan trophy as they take on Sri Lanka in the two-Test series.
Aussie fans will be waiting to see which of the new inclusions to the Test squad will make the final XI. Victorian 20-year-old batsman Will Pucovski, Queenslanders Matt Renshaw and Joe Burns and – fresh from two centuries against the tourists last week – Kurtis Patterson will all be vying for selection.
Led by world-class captain Dinesh Chandimal, Sri Lanka will enter the series opener boasting more pink-ball experience than the Aussies, an edge the tourists’ fierce bowling attack will aim to take advantage of as play continues well into the night.
