Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Sunday confirmed that Islamabad Club would host the five-match red and white-ball series between Sri Lanka ‘A’ and Pakistan Shaheens in November. Sri Lanka A, on their maiden tour to Pakistan, will play two four-day matches from November 11 to 21, followed by a three-match 50-over series on November 25, 27 and 29. Sri Lanka ‘A’ will arrive in Islamabad on 7 November and will train for three days before taking on the Shaheens in the first four-dayers commencing from 11 November. For both four-day games, the toss will take place at 9am PKT, with the first ball expected to be bowled at 9.30am PKT. The three 50-over series fixtures will be day-night games, with toss taking place at 1.30pm PKT. The first ball of the match is expected to be bowled at 2pm PKT. The PCB continues to invest in its young talent with Shaheens set to play their second home series in three months. In August, Bangladesh ‘A’ had traveled to Islamabad for two four-dayers and a three-match 50-over series. Besides the home series this year, Pakistan Shaheens had also featured in two four-dayers against Bangladesh ‘A’ in Darwin, Australia, two 50-over matches against Northern Territory and Bangladesh ‘A’ and also took part in the Top End T20 series. The Shaheens have also recently competed in the ACC Men’s T20 Emerging Teams Asia Cup in Muscat.
