The Test series will be a part of the 2021-23 World Test Championship cycle, with the first match beginning on July 16 at Galle. The second Test will be held on July 24 at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.

Sri Lanka recently took on Australia at home, defeating them by an innings in the second Test match, which ended five days before they face Pakistan. Babar Azam’s side is currently fourth in the ongoing WTC points table, while Sri Lanka occupy the third spot.

Pakistan landed in the island on July 6, and then took on Cricket XI for a warm-up game on July 11. The unit, led by Babar Azam, have given a call-up to veteran Yasir Shah, who last played a Test match for the country last year. Shah, who was the star when Pakistan last toured Sri Lanka in 2015, had been sidelined due to a thumb injury. The visitors have also included spin all-rounders, Mohammad Nawaz and Salman Ali Agha, the latter getting his maiden call-up.

The hosts will be led by Dimuth Karunaratne.
