Sri Lanka name squad for Australia series

24 Jan 25

Australia have finalised their 15-player squads for the upcoming ICC World Test Championship final at The Oval.

Australia trimmed their original 17-player squad by two to land on the 15 players that will take on India in south London from June 7.

Experienced seamer Josh Hazlewood remains in the mix to play against India after he was named in Australia's finalised 15-player group.

There had been reports suggesting Michael Neser may replace Hazlewood as the latter faces a race to reach peak fitness for the June 7 start date for the match at The Oval after battling side soreness in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
