Masood lost the Test captaincy to Babar Azam in July. Although his tenure included a 2-1 home series win over England in 2024, Pakistan also suffered defeats in Australia and at home against Bangladesh. Since losing the captaincy, he has scored a century against the West Indies and 95 against England.
The left-handed batter will miss the final round of the domestic competition as he recovers. Reports suggest the injury is not serious, but the rehabilitation period could leave Masood short of match practice before the Sri Lanka series.
Abdullah Fazal is another option. He has scored 2,369 runs in 32 First-Class matches at an average of 43.07. Fazal also made two half-centuries during his two-Test stint against Bangladesh.

National selector Aaqib Javed previously explained that the decision to reinstate Babar Azam was driven by concerns over leadership and game management rather than Masood’s batting.
Pakistan vs Sri Lanka Test Series 2026 Schedule
Sri Lanka will begin its Pakistan tour with a three-day warm-up match in Islamabad from November 4 to 6. The fixture will give the visitors time to prepare for local conditions before the two-match Test series begins.
Both Tests are part of the ICC WTC 2025–27 cycle. Sri Lanka remain mathematically in contention for the WTC 2027 final but are unlikely to finish in the top two. Pakistan have been mathematically eliminated from contention for the final after heavy defeats and points deductions for slow over-rates.
