After narrowly missing out on a spot in the 2021-23 ICC World Test Championship Final, Sri Lanka will aim to finish in the top two of the new cycle's points table. The WTC cycle for 2023-25 got underway earlier this week with the Ashes series.
The Aussies recently became the first-ever team to win ICC World Test Championship, Cricket World Cup, and the T20 World Cup. Sri Lanka have won the limited-over tournaments but not the WTC.
The Islanders will be keen to add another trophy to their cabinet in 2025. Before that, here's a look at the six teams they will face in the WTC cycle from 2023 to 2025.
