2024–25 Australian Domestic Season

CA XI squad for the first Lions game must be coming out soon as it starts in 10 days?

Thinking the Sri Lanka squad may look like:

Khawaja
Konstas
Labuschagne
Smith (c)
Head
Webster
Carey (+)
Starc
Murphy
Lyon
Boland

Reserves: Inglis, Richardson, Kuhnemann

Hopefully McSweeney, Connolly, McAndrew, Rocchiccioli and Hardie can play in the CA XI games and add 2-3 of them to Sri Lanka squad as well

They will take 16 guys on tour, surely?

Handscomb always a good chance for a subcontinent tour.

If Handscomb goes to Sri Lanka then I guess McSweeney won't (unless they open with Head as rumoured and drop Konstas).

I'd actually like to see Konstas in the CA XI games to see if he can bat like before whatever this India stuff is (even his coach and Shane Watson as his mentor says this test stuff is totally out of character)
