Watch: Australia's "Ingenious" New Training Drill Ahead Of Sri Lanka Tests
The Australian cricket team is currently in Sri Lanka for their multi-format series and currently both teams are squaring off in the five-match ODI series. The hosts have taken a 3-1 unassailable lead after beating Australia by 4 runs in the fourth ODI.

Travis Head must wait for ODI turn, says Australia coach Andrew McDonald
Travis Head must bide his time before he can cement his place in Australia's one-day squad, coach Andrew McDonald said ahead of their five-match series against Sri Lanka beginning on Tuesday. With David Warner skipping the one-day series in Pakistan earlier this year, Head partnered skipper Aaron Finch at the top order and was their second highest run-scorer with a century and a fifty in three innings. The left-hander smashed a breezy hundred for Australia A in Sri Lanka but McDonald said Warner's return meant Head must wait for his turn which may come in the later stage of the ODI series.
