The second Test of the Sri Lanka-Australia series is history as Cooper Connolly, at 21, is now Australia’s 471st Test cricketer. He becomes the second-youngest Western Australian to wear the baggy green after earning his honor in Galle where Sri Lanka already won the first Test, and the visitors would like to write history by winning a rare series in Asia.
Cooper Connolly has been selected for the Sri Lanka vs Australia Test on the back of an excellent domestic season, despite playing only four first-class matches. The left-arm spinning all-rounder’s inclusion, therefore, goes on to indicate that Australian cricket is going bold and bloods its young talents with open arms. Cooper Connolly has made it literally from the ‘big bash’ to the Test arena in the shortest period of time in history.
The next match in the series between Sri Lanka and Australia is going to be an interesting one. This time, they will play at Galle where spinning conditions prevail. Being a complete all-rounder, Cooper Connolly can be very effective with both bat and ball, which may prove as some vital for Australia in their quest for victory. He has played very little first-class cricket. Still, his good form and domestic record have been sufficient to earn him this opportunity to feature on the highest stage of cricket.
