(Reuters) - Australia coach Tony Gustavsson wants to test his 'Matildas' squad against more of the world's best teams in the lead-up to the country's co-hosting of the 2023 Women's World Cup after they drew 2-2 with Brazil in Sydney on Tuesday.

Australia, who will co-host the World Cup with New Zealand, beat the South Americans 3-1 at the weekend in the first of back-to-back matches and the Swedish coach is keen to ensure his players keep developing.
