Pakistan will hold test cricket for more than 10 years compared to Sri Lanka's full lineup in December 2019.<\/p>\n

Dimuth Karunaratne leads Sri Lanka to introduce experienced batters Angelo Mathews and Dinesh Chandimal from 16 teams. The team departs for Pakistan on December 8 and plays two games to participate in the World Test Championship.<\/p>\n

In less than three months, Sri Lanka traveled to Pakistan for a series of limited edition matches, but ten famous players opposed the trip.<\/p>\n

The test series was originally scheduled for a neutral location in October due to security concerns, but the PCB asked Sri Lanka to play the entire bilateral series in Pakistan. The white ball game was a kind of test of the security measures taken by the organizers, and Sri Lanka agreed to conduct tests in Pakistan as well, following the success of this tour.<\/p>\n

There was only one change for the Sri Lankan team, who did a second test of New Zealand at home in August. Right-handed fast bowler Kasun Rajitha replaced leg spinner Akila Dananjaya, who is currently suspended for a year for illegal activity.<\/p>\n

The first test begins in Rawalpindi on December 11th, and the second test runs in Karachi from December 19th.<\/p>\n

Pakistan has not held test matches that have hurt several Sri Lankan cricketers, support staff and other supporters since the 2009 Lahore attack. Suranga Lakmal, a fast bowler among current players, was part of the Sri Lankan team at the time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
