The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is in negotiations with its Sri Lankan counterpart to host them on home soil for a two-match Test series, which will be part of the ICC Test Championship programme, starting from July this year following the 50-over World Cup.
Sri Lankan cricket team will arrive in Pakistan to play two Test matches after ICC World Cup. The matches of ICC World Test Championship will be played in Lahore and Karachi.
Nine teams would be playing against each others in the ICC World Test Championship and the Sri Lankan team will play their matches in Pakistan. Islanders will also visit Pakistan to play two Test matches after World Cup. Test cricket in Pakistan will return after a decade, while talks are also underway with Bangladesh to visit Pakistan for Test Championship matches.
PSL games went smoothly without any security incident, the PCB efforts have raised hopes of top-level international cricket, including Test matches, returning to Pakistan.
Prior to the recently-held five-match ODI series played between Pakistan and Australia in the UAE, the PCB tried to convince Cricket Australia to play a few of the games in Pakistan, an offer which CA declined.
