The series opener will take place at the renowned Galle International Stadium, marking the beginning of the World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25 for both teams. This tour echoes the schedule of Pakistan’s visit to Sri Lanka exactly one year ago, as the teams commenced their WTC 2022/23 journeys with games in Galle and Colombo.

Cricket enthusiasts around the globe are eagerly awaiting the clash between Sri Lanka and Pakistan, as the WTC serves as a platform for teams to demonstrate their skills and compete for the coveted championship title.

Following the conclusion of the first Test in Galle, the action will shift to the iconic Sinhalese Sports Club in Colombo for the second and final Test of the series.

Both teams will be aiming to build momentum early on in the WTC, which features some of the world’s top cricketing nations competing against each other over a span of two years.
