Islamabad (TDI): The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has officially confirmed that Pakistan will host Sri Lanka for a three-match One Day International (ODI) series at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, scheduled from 11 to 15 November.
This will make Sri Lanka’s first bilateral ODI tour to Pakistan since 2019, when Pakistan edged a three-match series 2–0 with one match dropped due to rain.
The upcoming series is one among a busy international cricket calendar in Pakistan. Before hosting Sri Lanka, Pakistan will welcome South Africa for two ICC World Test Championship Tests from 12 to 24 October, followed by three T20Is and three ODIs from late October into early November.
