Having completed their training camp on Friday, the Pakistan cricket team landed in Colombo, Sri Lanka, Sunday for a two-match Test series against the host country.

After resting for the day, the Shaheens are scheduled to travel to Hambantota tomorrow, where they will play a two-day warm-up match on July 11 and 12.

The two sides will then come face-to-face on July 16 at the Galle International Cricket Stadium for the first Test of the series. 

Subsequently, both teams will return to Colombo for the second Test at the Singhalese Sports Club from July 24-28.

Pakistan last toured Sri Lanka in July 2022 for a two-match Test series that ended in a 1-1 draw.

Pakistan scaled the target of 342 to register the best run chase at the cricket ground and win the first Test by four wickets.

However, the hosts bounced back in the second Test to level the series with a 246-run win.
