Pakistan to tour Sri Lanka in January for Three-Match T20I series ahead of World Cup
- Matches to be played on January 7, 9 and 11
Pakistan men’s T20I squad will head to Sri Lanka in January for a three-match T20I series as part of their preparations for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026.
“All three matches will be played at the Rangiri Dambulla International Cricket Stadium in Dambulla on January 7, 9 and 11,” the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced on Tuesday.
The tour will provide the team with valuable match practice ahead of next year’s global event, the PCB added.
Pakistan is placed in Group ‘A’ for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 and will play all their fixtures in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
The mega event is scheduled to run from 7 February to 8 March.
In November, Pakistan won the T20I tri-series with a thumping six-wicket victory over Sri Lanka in the final on Saturday.
Zimbabwe were the third team in the tri-series but lost three of their four matches to finish bottom.
Sri Lanka were never in the hunt in the decider after posting a below-par total as Saim Ayub (36) and Sahibzada Farhan (23) gave Pakistan a solid 46-run opening partnership inside the first eight overs.
