Connolly Earns Maiden Call-up For Sri Lanka Test; McSweeney, Kuhnemann, Murphy Included
Sri Lanka Test: Western Australia’s young all-rounder Cooper Connolly has received his maiden Test call-up, while Nathan McSweeney has been recalled after missing the latter part of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy as Australia announced a 16-player squad for the upcoming two-Test tour of Sri Lanka, scheduled to kick off from January 29 in Galle.
The squad also includes emerging talents Sam Konstas and Beau Webster, both rewarded for their impressive debuts during the India series.
Connolly, a 21-year-old left-handed batter and left-arm spinner, has been included as a versatile all-round option. Connolly’s selection not only underscores his potential but also signals the selectors' intent to develop young players in challenging subcontinental conditions.
