Australian Services cricket team in Ceylon
The Australian team moved on to Ceylon in December and played one first-class match versus Ceylon at the Pakiasothy Saravanamuttu Stadium in Colombo. Australian Services won by an innings and 44 runs, largely thanks to a century by Miller.
Arriving back in Australia shortly before Christmas, the team continued its touring ways by playing against each of the Australian state teams, ending with a game against Tasmania in Hobart at the end of January 1946.
