- First home ODI series against Sri Lanka since 2019
- Pakistan to host two Tests, 10 T20Is and six ODIs from 12 October to 29 November
Lahore, 8 September 2025: Pakistan will play three ODIs against Sri Lanka at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium from 11 to 15 November, the PCB confirmed today. 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.
This will be Sri Lanka’s first bilateral ODI series in Pakistan since 2019, when they last visited for a three-match series that Sarfaraz Ahmed’s-led side won 2-0, with the first ODI in Karachi abandoned due to rain. 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.
Following today’s announcement, Pakistan will host two ICC World Test Championship matches against South Africa and six white-ball games from 12 October to 8 November. With the addition of the three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka, Pakistan will also host their maiden T20I tri-series from 17 to 29 November.
