...Australia U19 to face Sri Lanka U19 in september... ................................................................................... Australia Under-19 will leave for Sri Lanka on September 21 for a five-match one-day series and a solitary three-day fixture against Sri Lanka Under-19s. The tour gets underway with the first one-day match at the SSC in Colombo on September 25. We are delighted to tour Sri Lanka and continue our relationship with Sri Lanka Crickets development squads, Cricket Australias National Talent Manager Greg Chappell said in a statement. This tour to Sri Lanka will be the first time some of our squad have been exposed to sub-continental conditions and will be a great learning opportunity. This squad fields a number of promising spinners including Sam Grimwade, Matthew Kuhnemann and Jonte Pattison, who will have the opportunity to hone their bowling on the spin-friendly tracks, as well as the chance to work alongside Cricket Australias spin consultant John Davison. The fast-bowling contingent is also an exciting one, with Lain Beckett, Izaac Boylan, David Grant and Jhye Richardson evident of the depth of Australias young quick stocks. Our two wicketkeeper/batsmen have both shown their match-breaking potential during the U17 Championships. Tom Healy is a classy stroke-maker in the mould of his father Ian, and Sam Harper has impressed as captain for Victoria. Weve selected a strong batting line-up, with the likes of Liam Banthorpe, Patrick McKenna, Matthew Renshaw, and all-rounders Kyle Scrimegour and Clint Hinchliffe who will benefit from playing against quality opposition on turning decks.
