The squad will assemble in Karachi on July 3 for preparations ahead of their scheduled departure on July 9. The two Test matches will be played in Galle and Colombo from July 16-28 and August 1-7 respectively.
This is a strong Pakistan squad, with a good mix of experience and youth. Babar Azam is one of the best batsmen in the world, and he will be looking to lead his team to victory. Shaheen Afridi is one of the most feared bowlers in world cricket, and he will be hoping to take wickets in Sri Lanka.
The two Test matches will be a good test of Pakistan’s strengths and weaknesses. Sri Lanka are a good team, and they will be looking to avenge their 2-1 defeat to Pakistan in the last Test series between the two teams in 2022.
I am looking forward to watching the Test series between Pakistan and Sri Lanka. It should be a close and exciting series.
