Sri Lanka Vs Pakistan Test Series

Sri Lankan Cricket Team is currently playing one-day international series against India. Because of brilliant performance of Sri Lanka in Pakistan I expected that Sri Lanka would also give good performance againstIndian Cricket Team but Sri Lanka has been beaten easily by India in first 3 matches of one day international series and now India lead the series by 3-0. Sri Lankan Cricketers have shown their willingness to visit Pakistan from 15th February.

The cricketers of Sri Lankan team has asked to its board that they wish to revise their scheduled tour to Pakistan and now previous scheduled has been changed again and new dates has been announced. After Australia and India’s refusal to visit to Pakistan, Sri lank accepted Pakistan proposal for 3 tests matches, 5 one day international series and one 20 twenty match but latter on this tour was reduced to 3 one day internationals and 2 tests.

Sri Lanka won the one day series but would come again in Pakistan for playing 2 test match series which is likely to start in the mid of February but now Sri Lankan cricketers have asked to its board to revise schedule of test matches against Pakistan and after playing matches against Sri Lanka, Pakistan shall move to Bangladesh for a 5 one day internationals (ODIs) so there are a lot of chances that Pakistan’s tour to Bangladesh would be effected a lot if Pakistan has to accept Sri Lanka’s new schedule for visiting to Pakistan and now PCB (Pakistan Cricket Board) is in deep trouble.

1st test match of the series will be played at Karachi from 22nd February while 2nd and last test match of the series will be played at Lahore from 2nd march. Pakistan Cricket Board has made a lot of changes and out of these changes, one big change is to allow playing domestic cricket to Indian Cricket League players and PCB has changed captain of Pakistan Cricket Team with a hope that new captain Younis Khan will be a new hope of team.

It is 2nd time when Younis Khan has been announced as a captain of Pakistan Cricket Team but due to unavoidable reasons he resigned from captaincy and decided to play as a player in the team. Sri Lanka is coming for test series and its visit to Pakistan would give new life to Pakistan cricket as after Australia and India’s refusal it was quite evident that now there would be no more cricket in Pakistan and big cricket teams of the world would not come in Pakistan in near future but Sri Lanka’s up coming tour to Pakistan would revive all cricket activities in Pakistan and would force to other teams to visit Pakistan. In last month Sri Lanka played one-day international series in Pakistan and now they will come for 2 test matches series.

Pakistan Cricket Team skipper is now Younis Khan as previous captain Shoaib Malik has been removed from captaincy after Pakistan team made lowest total of its cricket scores history at home ground against Sri Lanka.
