Pakistan vs Sri Lanka 2026 Tests live streaming: Where to watch PAK vs SL in India? Date, time in IST, venue & more
After a almost a month’s gap post the ODI series, Sri Lanka return to Pakistan for a two-match Test series, starting on Monday at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. This series is a part of the ongoing World Test Championship (WTC) 2025-27 cycle. Placed ninth in the rankings, Pakistan are placed at the bottom of the WTC points table.
For Sri Lanka, who are placed seventh, winning both the Test matches would help them rise in the table and further make the race for top two more interesting. A green pitch is expected for the first Test. Following a 0-3 drubbing against England in their previous series, Pakistan have since reshuffled their Test squad.
The Babar Azam-led side added four players, including three uncapped names, in addition to ther initially named squad. Promising pace bowlers Ali Shabbir, 19, and Saqib Khan, 31, get their first chance for Pakistan, along with experienced all-rounder Aamer Jamal.
Tayyab Arif, 20, was also added after scoring 727 runs in the recently concluded domestic tournament, a Pakistan Cricket Board release said. Batter Abdullah Fazal and spinner Ali Usman have been dropped.
Jamal, who has played nine Tests, returns to the squad after being one of seven players sent home from the disastrous tour of England in August.
On the other hand, Kusal Mendis is leading Sri Lanka, who took over the captaincy earlier this year. Experienced players Dinesh Chandimal, Dhananjaya de Silva and Kamindu Mendis are also in the squad.
