Australia's next challenge is the Champions Trophy, a 50-over tournament hosted by Pakistan, which begins for the men in green and gold against England on Saturday night.However, without seven members of their 2023 World Cup winning squad, it's going to be quite the task for the Aussies.

Travis Head and Adam Zampa don't seem too concerned however, with both of the key players confident the depth in Australian cricket will see them through to the business end of the tournament.

Jump straight to Head's interview by heading to 16:00, and scroll ahead to Zampa's at the 35:38 mark.

Before we hear from these two ODI geniuses, Louis Cameron and Josh Schonafinger discuss the challenges facing Australia at this tournament and just who to look out for.

The Aussies were firing, the Sri Lankans were not.

The first Test in Galle was a one-sided affair, but newly-crowned Allan Border Medalist Travis Head is expected the hosts to hit back, just as they did in 2022.

Andrew Ramsey is on the ground in Sri Lanka and joins Josh Schonafinger to preview the second five-day encounter.

Plus, we get an injury update on Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood, and what that means for the upcoming Champions Trophy.

Australia have picked a 16-man squad for the land of left-arm spin that hints at, rather than heralds, a generational change. Louis Cameron and Andrew Ramsey consider the absence of Pat Cummins and whether Steve Smith instead of Travis Head was the right call to take the captaincy reins in Sri Lanka. Were Mitch Marsh and Glenn Maxwell unlucky? How about Peter Handscomb? Which of Sam Konstas, Nathan McSweeney and Josh Inglis will play? Have we forgotten how good Cameron Green is? We haven't forgotten how good the Galle fort is.

Test cricket is a tough sport for tough men, according to Gautam Gambhir, which all but rules out Louis Cameron and Andrew Ramsey from offering their opinions on a pulsating Australia-India Test series, the first Australia have won after being 0-1 down this century. They give it a crack anyway. Sam Konstas getting under India's skin, Beau Webster's remarkable debut, Scott 'The Brutaliser' Boland's 10-wicket Test and much more is discussed on the final episode of a thrilling campaign.

Top 10 for 10k: Steve Smith is on the verge of joining Allan Border, Steve Waugh and Ricky Ponting as Australians to have 10,000 Test runs. He needs just 38 more as he heads into the Border Gavaskar Trophy finale against India in his hometown Test at the SCG. After some careful thought about his list, Smith chats to Louis Cameron about how he ranked his favourite Test centuries. No spoilers on what made No.1, but his list charts the ups and downs of his extraordinary career; his maiden Test tons in England and Australia, a double-ton made on no sleep, his 2019 Ashes comeback after his year-long ban, his conquering of spin on the subcontinent, Australia's World Test Championship triumph and his breaking of a recent hundred drought.

Andrew Ramsey delays his return from the MCG to his backpackers' hostel to join Louis Cameron after an extraordinary Boxing Day Test that had everything. Don Bradman thought he saw some big crowds. Pfffft, this Test has him covered. The biggest Test crowd ever? Probably. Is Bumrah better than Warnie? Maybe. Is he a shark? Hell yes. Melbourne real estate (and Rishabh Pant's inability to find it), sausages (and Yashasvi Jaiswal's ability to find those), snicko, Napoleonic Wars - all that's in here too. Sam Konstas was 19 (he might be 27 now) in a dressing room full of fathers - but is he Virat's father? And has he spoken to Elon Musk? He could soon. Oh and there's another Test.

Louis Cameron and Adam Burnett sum up the third NRMA Insurance Test from a sodden Brisbane. While the retirement of Ravichandran Ashwin caught us all on the hop, the dominance of Jasprit Bumrah and Travis Head did not. Can they continue to carry their teams? Is Head hurt? (SPOILER: He's not). Is Josh Hazlewood hurt? (SPOILER: He is). Steve Smith scored his 33rd Test century, written into existence by one of cricket.com.au's own. Speaking of, did cameraman Tama Stockley spook Yashasvi Jaiswal? There are World Test Championship final implications too and you will not need to understand trigonometry to work out how Australia can make it.
