The Australian Cricket Team is scheduled is scheduled to tour Sri Lanka from July 26 to 9 Sep 09,2016 to play - 3 Test Matches;5 ODI's and 2 T20's
Australia allrounder Moises Henriques is in line for his first Test in three years after being named in the squad for their three-match tour of Sri Lanka
The 29-year-old seam bowler played the last of his three Tests during the ill-fated 2013 tour of India where Australia were whitewashed 4-0 and four players were stood down for a match in the infamous 'homework-gate' episode.
Moises Henriques failed to make an impression with the ball during that series but injuries to Peter Siddle and James Pattinson have opened the door for the Madeira-born cricketer to stake another claim on subcontinent wickets.
Fast bowler Mitchell Starc, recovered from a series of foot injuries, and spinner Stephen O'Keefe were also named in the 15-man squad on Tuesday May 24,2016 for the matches in Pallekele, Galle and Colombo.
