With plenty of tough decisions to come, Adam Gilchrist has named who'd he want to see play the first Test against Sri Lanka on Thursday.

GILLY PICKS HIS SIDE:

All four of Joe Burns, Matt Renshaw, Will Pucovski and Kurtis Patterson are in contention for a Test spot, with the Aussies overhauling their batting line-up after a series loss to India.

Gilly said two of those would miss, tipping Patterson to come into the side after his twin tons in the tour game against Sri Lanka.

"The worst thing they did was name that squad too early," he said.

"Then they wouldn't have had to go and drag Patterson into the squad...he's a very exciting player. (He) looks like a more old-fashioned Test cricketer, bats time, (has) patience.

"Hopefully they can get a run on."
