Pakistan to tour Sri Lanka

The Pakistan cricket team will travel to Sri Lanka in July to participate in a full Test series against the islanders.

The national team will depart to Sri Lanka on June 27 where it is scheduled to play three Tests, five one-day international and one Twenty 20 tie, Sri Lanka cricket said on Tuesday.

It will be the first bilateral series between the two countries since the Sri Lankan team was attacked by militants in Lahore on March 3 and returned home with six wounded players.

The opening Test will be played on '4th July at Galle'. The second match would be held from July 12 at Kandy followed by the final Test in Colombo from July 20.

The first three matches of the ODI series will be contested at Dambulla on July 30, August 1 and August 3 while the remaining two one-day matches are scheduled to be held on August 7 and August 9 in Colombo.

The only Twenty 20 clash will be played in the Sri Lankan capital on August 12.
