The Pakistan Cricket Board has announced a comprehensive cricket tour featuring Sri Lanka and England, with matches spanning from October to November across multiple formats.
Pakistan will host Sri Lanka and England for an extended cricket programme running from early October through late November, according to an announcement from the Pakistan Cricket Board. The tour encompasses T20 Internationals, a One-Day International tri-series, and a two-match Test series, with matches scheduled across venues in Rawalpindi and Lahore.
Sri Lanka's participation begins with a three-match T20I series in Rawalpindi from 9 to 13 October. England joins the tour later in the month for an ODI tri-series involving all three nations. The tri-series comprises six group-stage matches and a final, running from 18 to 31 October across Rawalpindi and Lahore. Pakistan will face Sri Lanka first on 18 October, with the final scheduled for 31 October at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.
Following the ODI tri-series, Sri Lanka will compete in a three-day match in Islamabad from 4 to 6 November before engaging in a two-match Test series. The first Test takes place at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium from 9 to 13 November, while the second Test will be held at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore from 17 to 21 November. Both Tests are part of the ICC World Test Championship 2025-27 cycle.
This represents Pakistan's second Test series under the current World Test Championship cycle, following South Africa's visit in October last year. The ODI tri-series marks the second tri-series in this format hosted by Pakistan in consecutive years, following a similar event with New Zealand and South Africa in February ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
