Sri Lanka to play tri-series with England during Pakistan tour

Colombo: Sri Lanka will tour Pakistan for a bilateral T20 series followed by a tri‑nation ODI tournament that includes England next month, before two Tests against the hosts, its cricket board said on Thursday.

Sri Lanka Cricket said the three-match T20 series will be played in Rawalpindi between October 9 and 13.

The tri‑nation series will also begin in Rawalpindi, with Pakistan playing Sri Lanka on October 18 before the visitors face England four days later on October 22.


The series will then shift to Lahore, where the final is scheduled to be played on October 31.

The Test series between Sri Lanka and Pakistan will begin in Rawalpindi on November 9, with the second Test beginning in Lahore on November 17.

Sri Lanka's last Test tour of Pakistan was in 2019, when they lost the two‑match series 1-0 but won their T20 series 3-0.
