Josh Inglis is set to make his Test debut in the first Test against Sri Lanka, which begins from Wednesday (January 29) in Galle. He'll become 470th male Test Cricketer.

Josh Inglis Yesterday, Steve Smith has confirmed that Travis Head will return to the opening slot as Usman Khawaja's partner. And then Marnus Labuschagne will come at No. 3 and then stand-in skipper Steve Smith to come at No. 4.

According to Code Sports, Inglis will take Head’s spot in the middle-order at No. 5, alongside Beau Webster and Alex Carey, meaning Konstas misses out.

The 29-year-old has been around the Australia's squad for some years now, with the right-hander earning his spot off the back of a 36.41 average in first-class cricket with seven centuries.

Depending on conditions, Australia could pick three specialist spinners with Nathan Lyon to potentially partner Todd Murphy, and Matthew Kuhnemann.

“Apparently the surgeon’s done an incredible job,” Smith said of Kuhnemann. “For him to be able to field and do some of the things he’s been able to do the last couple of days, we’re kind of a bit gobsmacked.

“Either he’s a tremendous actor or he’s got great pain tolerance. He’s ticked all the boxes. He’s good to go.”

Australia's probable XI for the first Test against Sri Lanka :

Usman Khawaja, Travis Head, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith (Captain), Josh Inglis, Beau Webster, Alex Carey (Wicketkeeper), Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Scott Boland, Matt Kuhnemann.
