Sri Lanka ready to play one Test match in Pakistan

LAHORE (92 News) – In response to Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) offer, Sri Lankan Cricket Board (SLC) has agreed to play at least one Test match in Pakistan. According to the reports, the PCB had invited Sri Lanka to play a two-match Test series this year. The PCB has also invited the SLC to send its security delegation on Wednesday. The reports said that the SLC are still reluctant to send their team for a complete Test series. So far, Sri Lanka wants to play one of the two-Test matches in Pakistan. However, the PCB will host that game either in Karachi or Lahore, while the second Test will be organized in Dubai. The matter will be finalized during the International Cricket Council’s (ICC) meeting in September. Meanwhile, Pakistan has also invited the CEOs of Sri Lankan and Bangladeshi cricket boards to visit Pakistan. They will be briefed about the security situation in the country to address their concerns. The board is hopeful to host Sri Lanka this year and Bangladesh early next year. It is pertinent to mention here that if these tours go as planned, it will provide a massive boost to PCB’s efforts for the revival of international cricket in the country.
