Sri Lanka's National Men's Cricket Team is scheduled to tour Pakistan in October and November 2026. The tour will begin with a T20I series between the two nations.
In related developments, Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) has sought clarification over claims that Sri Lanka could lose more than USD 20 million due to a tournament not being hosted in the country.
Separately, SLC, in partnership with the Sri Lanka Schools Cricket Association (SLSCA), has begun distributing cricket balls to nearly 900 schools participating in the 2026 schools cricket program.
On the team front, players Kusal Mendis and Binura Fernando will miss the upcoming T20I series against England, as both remain in rehabilitation following injuries sustained earlier.
In a media release dated 3 September 2026, SLC also addressed the International Cricket Council's (ICC) recent decision concerning the hosting of the upcoming ICC Women's Champions Trophy 2027.
