Sri Lanka players have been given top-class security in Pakistan after Sri Lanka Cricket threatened players with a formal review if they left Pakistan. The remainder of the matches in the series have been postponed by a day each.
Sri Lanka are currently on their tour to Pakistan to feature in a three-match ODI series starting on the 11th of November 2025. On the other hand, the Zimbabwe team will soon be arriving in the nation to feature in a tri-series alongside Sri Lanka and Pakistan.
The series was initiated at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on the 11th of November, and during this phase, a bomb blast occurred in Islamabad, the capital city of the nation of Pakistan.
Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) had threatened their players of the Men's National team and support staff with a formal review if they leave the ongoing Pakistan tour over the security concerns.
Several members of the Sri Lankan team asked to return to Sri Lanka, following the suicide bombing in Islamabad. "The support staff were very clear that we wanted to stay and complete the tour," said Sanath Jayasuriya, Sri Lanka's head coach. "But as the team management on tour, we heard the players' concerns, and made sure we addressed them at length."
Today, in Rawalpindi, the Sri Lanka team bus was seen surrounded by a huge convoy of STF and Pakistan police as they escorted them to the Team hotel after an optional practice session.

Why is the Pakistan vs Sri Lanka Second ODI not taking place today?
After the terror attack in the Capital city of Islamabad, which killed 12 people on the 11th of November, it was revealed that Sri Lankan players are longing to return home. SLC refused to accept any such request and threatened action against players.
The attack, which took place in Islamabad, is not very far away from the cricket ground at Rawalpindi. This led PCB to announce that both games will be delayed by a day, while even the T20 tri-series will now start on the 18th of November instead of the 17th.
The rescheduled tour will include the two matches to be played on the 15th and the 16th of November. This will be followed by another tour with Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka, also part of the tri-series.

Pakistan clinched a narrow six-run victory in the first ODI against Sri Lanka at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. Salman Ali Agha scored a century off just 87 balls and was backed by another half-century from Hussain Talat.
Pakistan posted a target of 300 runs in front of the Sri Lankan side, who were instead limited to a total of 293. Mohammad Nawaz also played a swift handoff, scoring 36 off just 23 balls. The entire Sri Lankan top order made some good starts in the chase.
Wanindu Hasaranga approached the target with a well-made half-century down the order. Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah seemed the pick of the bowlers alongside all-rounder Faheem Ashraf. Hasaranga also picked 3 wickets for Sri Lanka with the ball.
