An 'Australian Cricket Tour Of Sri Lanka' is always wanted, yet never come often enough. Relax! The long-wait to tour our favourite destination is nearly over as Australian Cricket returns to this amazing tear-drop idyll in June and July for a wealth of short-order games and 2 Tests.
Some time ago, when asking why there will only be 2 test matches, and not 3, we were told there was not enough room in the schedule. Sadly, there is room for 8 T20/ODI's, a 4-day warm-up game, and lots of rest days in between, but not a 3rd Test. Thus Kandy, Colombo, or Galle will miss out on a Test, yet we don't want to miss any as they are all outstanding.
Our Australia vs Sri Lanka 2022 Itinerary is based on our preference to play one test in the much-admired and desired Galle, and one Test in the home of Sri Lanka Cricket, Colombo. The warm-up game should be in Colombo, as it has been since 1999, no matter where the 1st Test is played.
The 1st Test hasn't been played in Colombo since 1992, which doesn't mean it won't be in 2022. In today's C19 polluted world, limiting travel could see the 1st Test played in Colombo after the warm-up game.
All this is not your worry for the beauty of Sri Lanka is that you can fly into Colombo so it matters not what the final fixture is. We are prepared for all eventualities.
Get yourself to and from Bandaranaike International Airport to start your cricket tour, and we will take care of the rest, including some of our most fond railway journeys, if required.
Our Australian Vs Sri Lanka 2022 Itinerary starts with the 5 ODI's, even though we do not yet know where these we will be played. For the sake of diversity, we would be surprised if either of the two test cities host ODI's, but cricket fixtures have been surprising us since 1995 so stay tuned.
Our cool itinerary includes 5 ODI's, the 4-day Tour Game or 5 nights in the lush hill country, test matches in Galle & Colombo, and to finish a cracking 8 night road-trip to the 4 points of Sri Lanka; the southern, eastern, northern, and western-most points of the mainland.
We'll take in famed Arugam Bay, ruins of Polonoruwa, the east-coast capital of Trinco, and the infamous and long-time off-limits Jaffna in the far north, before rolling down the west coast to Colombo and your unwanted departure.
Join us for one test and go home, or join us for the lot, we look forward to helping you enjoy our favourite cricket touring country.
