PCB reportedly negotiating with SL for a T20I series

On Sep 22, 2021

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) faces back-to-back setbacks, with New Zealand and England pulling out from their respective tours to the Asian country. Both teams cited security concerns.

In an attempt to bring cricket back on their home soil, the board apparently is negotiating with Sri Lanka for a possible series.

Recent reports from Pakistani media suggest that the PCB is in negotiations with Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) for a T20I series in Pakistan ahead of the impending T20 World Cup 2021.

While PCB are making significant efforts to bring international cricket back to the country, it remains to be seen if Sri Lanka will consider the offer.

Sri Lanka are scheduled to play the T20 World Cup 2021 Qualifiers, which are slated to commence on October 18.

Sri Lanka are placed in Group ‘A’ alongside Ireland, Namibia and the Netherlands.

They will have to battle it out in the Qualifiers ahead of this year’s showpiece event to make it to the Super 12s.
