AUSSIES TO PLAY TWO SPINNERS IN THE FIRST TEST
PALLEKELE: Australia named spinners Nathan Lyon and Steve O’Keefe in the playing eleven for the first Test against Sri Lanka starting on Tuesday. Australia, presented the mace by the International Cricket Council as the world No 1 Test side, included left-arm spinner O’Keefe for only his third Test after he took 10 wickets in a warm-up game last week. Australia have won four of their five Test series in Sri Lanka, their only loss coming in 1999.
