Pakistan is scheduled to host Sri Lanka for a series of two Test matches under the ICC World Test Championship. This series will also mark the return of Test cricket in Pakistan after a long time, a decade to be exact.
Sri Lanka had earlier traveled for a series of 3 ODIs and 3 T20Is, which resulted in Pakistan winning the 50-over encounters and getting whitewashed by a second-string Sri Lankan team in the T20Is. Meanwhile, the first Test match will be played from 11th December in Rawalpindi and the second will begin from 19th December in Karachi.
