Sri Lanka Tests: Travis Head will replace Sam Konstas to partner Usman Khawaja at the top of Australia's batting order for the first Sri Lanka Tests, starting from Wednesday, skipper Steve Smith confirmed.

Meanwhile, Australia have not confirmed their playing and Smith said finalisation of the line-up would be delayed because of the ever-changing nature of the Galle pitch.
