Australia is set to unveil its fourth debutant in as many Tests with West Australian Cooper Connolly to receive his baggy green this morning in Galle.

The 21-year-old left-arm spinning all-rounder will be included to face Sri Lanka in the second Test.

Connolly has played for Australia in both white-ball formats but does not have a first-class wicket.

He does, however, average more than 60 with the bat in the Sheffield Shield.
