PCB invites SLC to play two-match test series in Pakistan

Pakistan Cricket Board has invited SLC to play their two-match Test Series in Pakistan. The test matches are scheduled to be played in October. For the past ten years, Pakistan have played their test matches in UAE, due to unstable security situation in the country.

However, the past couple of years cricket has slowly started to come back in the country with Zimbabwe, West Indies, Sri Lanka, a World 11 and international PSL players visiting the country. Sri Lanka Cricket is waiting for a security assessment before making their final call on the invitation.

However, discussions have been going on since the Asia Cup meeting held in Singapore. Building on those talks, PCB extended an invitation last week.
