During this tour, Australia will compete in four T20 matches, followed by two one-day matches in April

The 15-member Australia Women's Under-19 squad, including two players of Indian origin, are set to depart for Sri Lanka on March 22 (Friday).

Hasrat Gill and Samara Dulvin are among the 15 players selected for the Australian Women's U19 squad, which will embark on a tour to Sri Lanka for a tri-nation tournament.

She added, “The T20 matches will provide the squad with a great development opportunity ahead of the Under-19 T20 World Cup and we're also excited about the 50-over matches."

Thompson also mentioned, “We are also looking to give players a chance to develop their leadership skills across the series.”
