PCB announces schedule for Pakistan ODI series against Sri Lanka

LAHORE: Pakistan Cricket Board on Monday announced Pakistan ODI Series against Sri Lanka, taking place from November 11-15 at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.  

This will be Sri Lanka’s first series since 2019 in Pakistan, when they last visited for a three-match series that Sarfaraz Ahmed’s-captained team won 2-0, with the first ODI in Karachi abandoned due to rain.

T20I tri-series

In addition to the ODI series, Sri Lanka, as earlier announced, will feature in a T20I tri-series from 17 to 29 November, with Afghanistan the third team to take part.

Sri Lanka’s most recent visit to Pakistan came in 2023, when they participated in the ACC Asia Cup and played against Afghanistan in Lahore.
