Colombo, June 5: Australian pace bowler Josh Hazlewood has conceded that his team could go into the two-Test series against Sri Lanka with just one specialist pace bowler, given the spin-friendly tracks here.
The Aaron Finch-led Australian white-ball side will begin their tour with a three-match T20I series from June 7, which will be followed by a five-match ODI series and the tour will culminate with Pat Cummins leading the side in the two Tests at Galle (June 29-July 3 and July 8-12).
While the pace trio of Test skipper Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood have usually bowled in tandem, there is the possibility of just one specialist quick being picked for each of the two games at Galle, given the spin-friendly nature of the pitch at the venue. (IANS)
