Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) selection committee has picked strong squads for the tour, but there have been some big names who have missed out on selection due to their respective fitness issues.
After that, the tri-nation series will start, where the Lankan Lions will play their first match against Zimbabwe on November 19 and their second match against Pakistan on November 22. They will play more matches against the same teams and would qualify for the final if they perform well.
"The Sri Lanka Cricket Selection Committee has selected the following squads to take part in the Sri Lanka Tour of Pakistan 2025. The team will take part in an ODI series and a T20 tri-series featuring Pakistan and Zimbabwe during the tour. The national team is scheduled to depart for Pakistan on November 8, 2025," SLC said.
Matheesha Pathirana ruled out of the Pakistan tour
In the ODI squad, the selection committee wanted to have Dilshan Madushanka for the upcoming series, but he was declared unfit. Notably, the pacer is currently recovering from his knee injury, and to deal with his absence, the selection committee has named Eshan Malinga in the squad.
