The selection committee has taken steps to include him in the squad only for the first two matches.
The nomination is based on the fact that fast bowler Mitchell Stuck suffered a finger injury in the first 20-20 match between the two countries.
Australia's cricket selection committee has named Jay Richardson in the squad for the five-match ODI series against Sri Lanka due to his injury.
Australian fast bowler Mitchell Stuck has been ruled out of tomorrow's third and final T20I cricket match against Sri Lanka due to injury.
It is believed that Mitchell Stuck will be able to play in the final few matches of the ODI series between the two countries.
He has to rest for at least 7 days.
The ODI series between the two countries is scheduled to begin on the 14th at the Pallekele Stadium in Kandy.
