England and Sri Lanka Likely to Tour Pakistan for ODI Tri-Series

England and Sri Lanka could tour Pakistan for a proposed ODI tri-series scheduled for October–November, according to cricket sources.

According to Beyond Time News, early indications suggest that the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has agreed in principle to participate, while final confirmation from Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) is still awaited.

Final Approval Pending

Officials say the series is not yet finalised, with discussions ongoing over scheduling, venues, and match timings before an official announcement is made.

If confirmed, the tri-series would add another major limited-overs event to Pakistan’s international cricket calendar.

Part of Busy Cricket Schedule

Under the ICC Future Tours Programme, Sri Lanka are already set to tour Pakistan later this year for a multi-format series, including T20Is in October followed by Test matches in November.

The proposed tri-series could potentially serve as a build-up to that tour.
