Pakistan Test (2) tour of Sri Lanka: July 2023 (Sony)

1st Test

July 16-20 at Galle

Sri Lanka vs Pakistan

2nd Test

July 24-28 at Colombo

Sri Lanka vs Pakistan

Squad: Babar Azam (c), Mohammad Rizwan (vc & wk), Aamir Jamal, Abdullah Shafique, Abrar Ahmed, Hasan Ali, Imam-ul-Haq, Mohammad Huraira, Mohammad Nawaz, Naseem Shah, Noman Ali, Salman Ali Agha, Sarfaraz Ahmed (wk), Saud Shakeel, Shaheen Afridi and Shan Masood

the call-up for Hurraira, the 21-year-old batter from Sialkot, had seemed imminent after an impressive run in the domestic circuit, where he topped the batting charts in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy for two seasons in a row. In 11 matches last season, Hurraira hit 1024 at 73.14 including four centuries and two half-centuries.

Hurraira will be joined by his Northern teammate Jamal. The 26-year-old from Mianwali topped the bowling charts last season, finishing with 31 wickets at 29.71

Sri lankan test team

Squad: Dimuth Karunaratne (C), Nishan Madushka, Kusal Mendis, Angelo Matthews, Dinesh Chandimal, Dhananjaya de Silva, Pathum Nissanka, Sadeera Samarawickrama, Kamindu Mendis, Ramesh Mendis, Prabath Jayasuriya, Praveen Jayawickrama, Kasun Rajitha, Dilshan Madushanka, Vishwa Fernando, Lakshitha Manasinghe

1st test starts tomorrow pakistan vs Sri lanka on Sony sports

I am worried about Dimuth Karunaratne, i hope he is okay to play tomorrow ( Hamstring injury)

• In the last five years, Dimuth Karunaratne has scored more runs as opener than anyone else in Test cricket. His 3256 runs have come at 50.87, with Tom Latham (2711) a distant second.🫀

Galle = runs. The venue has seen four scores in excess of 600 being made - including one over 700 and it has an average first-innings score of 366. There should be more of the same, along with spinners dictating terms as the game progresses.

#-Shaheen Afridi is one scalp away from becoming the fastest bowler to 100 Test wickets for Pakistan, Also 19th pakistan bowler with 100 test wickets

- #-Sri Lanka have a 4-3 win record against Pakistan in Tests at Galle

Good Luck both teams

Probable XI: Abdullah Shafique, Imam-ul-Haq, Shan Masood, Babar Azam (c), Saud Shakeel, Agha Salman, Sarfaraz Ahmed (wk), Mohammad Nawaz/Hasan Ali, Naseem Shah, Abrar Ahmed, Shaheen Afridi

Probable XI: Dimuth Karunaratne (c), Nishan Madhushka, Kusal Mendis, Angelo Mathews, Dinesh Chandimal, Dhananjaya de Silva, Sadeera Samarawickrama (wk), Ramesh Mendis, Prabath Jayasuriya, Dilshan Madushanka, Vishwa Fernando
