Josh Inglis will make his international debut at the iconic SCG on Friday night after Australia’s captain Aaron Finch announced the Western Australian will bat one drop in the opening T20I against Sri Lanka. Inglis will replace Perth Scorchers teammate Mitch Marsh while the BBL|11 leading run-scorer Ben McDermott will replace David Warner at the top of the order. These will be the only two changes from the XI that won the T20 World Cup last November in Dubai.
