The cricketing calendar shifts its focus to the longest format of the game as Sri Lanka's high-profile tour of Pakistan reaches its final leg. After an action-packed white-ball segment in October, the two Asian giants are set to lock horns in a crucial two-match Test series. Vital ICC World Test Championship (WTC) points will be on the line as both teams look to boost their standings. For fans looking to plan their cricket viewing, here is the complete SL tour of PAK schedule detailing everything you need to know about the upcoming fixtures.

The hosts clinical performance saw them clinch the 3-match T20I series 2-1, followed by a thrilling 3-wicket victory over Sri Lanka in the ODI Tri-Series final, which also featured England. However, Test cricket presents an entirely different challenge. The subcontinental conditions in Rawalpindi and Lahore traditionally favor batters early on before offering assistance to reverse swing and spin as the match progresses. Pakistan will rely heavily on their core red-ball specialists to exploit home conditions. On the other hand, Sri Lanka boasts a resilient batting lineup capable of grinding out long sessions, making this a highly competitive tactical battle. With WTC final qualification implications attached, neither side can afford a slip-up.
