Sri Lanka Set for T20 Series, ODI Tri-Nation Event and Tests in Pakistan Tour

Sri Lanka Cricket announced on Thursday that the national team will tour Pakistan next month for a busy schedule comprising a bilateral T20 series, a tri-nation ODI tournament featuring England, and two Test matches against the hosts.

According to the board, the three-match T20 series will be held in Rawalpindi from October 9 to 13.

The tri-nation ODI tournament will also start in Rawalpindi, with Pakistan facing Sri Lanka on October 18. Sri Lanka will then take on England on October 22. The tournament will move to Lahore, where the final is scheduled for October 31.

Following the limited-overs matches, Sri Lanka and Pakistan will play a two-Test series. The first Test will begin in Rawalpindi on November 9, while the second will be held in Lahore starting November 17.

Sri Lanka's most recent Test tour of Pakistan took place in 2019, when they lost the two-match series 1-0 but won the accompanying T20 series 3-0.
