Australian crickets are naturally skeptical of the upcoming Sri Lankan tour as the country is riddled with civil unrest which has been caused by economic turmoil. Cricket Australia chief Todd Greenberg revealed that the players have voiced multiple concerns regarding the series. The tour is supposed to start from June 7 and contains two Tests, three T-20s, and five ODIs. Although it hasn't been called off yet, it is hard to see how Sri Lanka can host a series of such magnitude amidst uncertainty.
"The players are aware of the situation in Sri Lanka," said Australian Cricketers' Association chief executive Todd Greenberg. Our players want to play and will take direction, guidance, and advice from Cricket Australia about tour arrangements and planning.It's fair to say there is a level of discomfort around touring in conditions that contrast those faced by the people of Sri Lanka, such as rising food prices, power cuts and fuel rationing
