Sri Lanka-Australia home series is on

The ball tampering allegations and Muttiah  Muralitharan  bowling
action  affair  during  the  current  home series will not affect
Australia`s tour of Sri Lanka, a top official of the   Australian
Cricket  Board  said.  He was referring to press reports from Sri
Lanka which carried a request from a Sri Lankan  club   demanding
the sports Minister to withdraw the team from its current tour of
Australia. The Australian Cricket Board (ACB) has  finalised  its
three-Test  tour of Sri lanka starting mid next year. Sri Lanka`s
next Test  cricket  commitment  at home  will  be  Australia   in
July/August.  The  Aussies will play three Tests and equal number
of one-day internationals.
