LAHORE: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has officially announced that Sri Lanka will tour Pakistan for a three-match ODI series at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium from November 11 to 15, 2025.
This series will be followed by Pakistan’s first-ever T20I tri-nation tournament, featuring Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Afghanistan, scheduled from November 17 to 29.
Historic Return After Six Years
This will be Sri Lanka’s first bilateral ODI tour of Pakistan since 2019, when Pakistan won the three-match series 2-0 after the opening match in Karachi was washed out due to rain.
Sri Lanka last played in Pakistan during the ACC Asia Cup 2023, where they faced Afghanistan in Lahore.
