The Pakistan cricket team toured Sri Lanka in July 2022 to play two Test matches against the Sri Lankan cricket team. [1] The Test series formed part of the 2021–2023 ICC World Test Championship. [2] [3] In April 2022, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) confirmed that the series would be taking place. [4] [5] Originally, the tour was also going to include three One Day International (ODI) matches, [6] but these were cancelled in May 2022, [7] as they were not part of the 2020–2023 ICC Cricket World Cup Super League. [8] The fixtures for the tour were confirmed in June 2022. [9] Pakistan last toured Sri Lanka for a Test series in June and July 2015. [10] On 17 July 2022, Sri Lanka Cricket moved the second Test from the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo to the Galle International Stadium due to the economic crisis in the country. [11]
Pakistan won the first Test by four wickets after they were set a target of 342 runs to win the match. [12] It was Pakistan's second-highest successful run chase in Test cricket, and the highest successful run chase for any team playing a Test in Galle. [13] Sri Lanka won the second Test by 246 runs to draw the series 1–1, with Dhananjaya de Silva scoring a century. [14] Player of the series Prabath Jayasuriya took his fourth five-wicket haul in six innings. [15]
Lakshitha Manasinghe was added to Sri Lanka's squad for the second Test, replacing Maheesh Theekshana who suffered a finger injury in the first Test. [18] Pakistan's Shaheen Afridi was ruled out of the second Test after he picked up a knee injury in the first Test. [19]
