Sydney, Feb 10: Australia has made two changes to the team which claimed its first Twenty20 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates in November for the first match of a five-game T20 series against Sri Lanka.
With David Warner rested, the top run-scorer in the domestic T20 competition, Ben McDermott, will open the batting with captain Aaron Finch for Friday’s match at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
Josh Inglis comes in for Mitch Marsh and will play as a batsman while Matthew Wade is the wicketkeeper.
Finch on Thursday endorsed Andrew McDonald as Justin Langer’s permanent replacement and echoed the comments of his test counterpart Pat Cummins by saying the next coach must be “more collaborative.”
McDonald has the chance to audition for a permanent stay after being installed as interim head coach. (AP)
