Aussie Allrounder Cooper Connolly May Debut In Second Test Against Sri Lanka
Boxing Day Test: With the Galle pitch expected to favour spin even more than in the first Test, Australia stand-in captain Steve Smith and head coach Andrew McDonald have kept the door open for a reshuffle that could see allrounder Cooper Connolly's potential inclusion in the bowling attack.
If selected, Connolly would become the fourth consecutive debutant for Australia, following Sam Konstas (Boxing Day Test vs India), Beau Webster (New Year's Test at SCG), and Josh Inglis (first Test in Galle).
"I can't see the top six changing; I daresay that will be the same, and from there we'll see what happens. All options are on the table, we've got the resources here if we need it," Smith was quoted by cricket.com.au as saying.
