Lyon is ready for Sri Lanka Tests

The tourists visited Sri Lanka for five-day competitive games after the 1-0 triumph on the Test match against Pakistan. Pat Cummins-led side swooped in a win on the final match after drawing the other two. On the two Tests with Sri Lanka, Australia's premier spinner Nathan Lyon commented that it would be a challenge for the team as the pitch would be difficult to navigate.

Lyon shared he would team up with leg-spinner Mitchell Swepson as Australia would go in with slow bowlers for the red-ball series. Australia could not keep Sri Lanka at bay during the Twenty20 series and lost by 2-1 while even in the five one-day internationals they trail behind by 1-2.
