Pakistan will host its first-ever T20 tri-series in November with Afghanistan and Sri Lanka participating in the 13-day event.
“We look forward to hosting Sri Lanka and Afghanistan for Pakistan’s maiden T20 tri-series,” PCB chief operating officer Sumair Ahmed Syed said in a statement on Sunday.
“This event will not only offer excellent preparation for next year’s ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, but also present fans with exciting cricket across venues.”
All three teams will play each other twice before the top two will advance to the final at Lahore on November 29.
The tri-series begins at Rawalpindi on November 17, when Pakistan takes on Afghanistan. Rawalpindi will also host the second game between Afghanistan and Sri Lanka on November 19 before Lahore takes over to host the remaining five games.
Afghanistan will be playing T20s in Pakistan for the first time. It has played five ODIs in Pakistan, including a game against Australia during the Champions Trophy in February.
