The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and Sri Lanka Cricket Board are in talks to include ODIs during Men in Green’s scheduled Test tour of Sri Lanka in July.

This move is believed to be in response to the upcoming World Cup 2023 scheduled in India and the need for teams to gain momentum and preparation for the event.

According to sources, high officials from both boards have begun the initial talks, and discussions are still ongoing.
Pakistan is scheduled to visit Sri Lanka for a two-match Test series in July, which is part of ICC Test Championship cycle.

Both boards could potentially substitute Tests with ODIs or explore the possibility of holding 50-over matches alongside the traditional red-ball games. The boards might explore a new window in the Test Championship cycle, to reschedule the Test series then.

The PCB has not yet made a decision regarding the inclusion of one-day matches, but both boards seem to also recognize the importance of the Test Championship.

The inclusion of one-day matches will provide an opportunity for the teams to gain valuable practice and momentum ahead of the World Cup.

Australia to host Pakistan, West Indies for Test series​

The Pakistan series begins in Perth, followed by the traditional Boxing Day and New Year tests in Melbourne and Sydney.

Teams from three countries will tour Australia next summer, Cricket Australia said on Sunday, with the men’s test fixtures taking place during a truncated window in December and January.

Australia’s men’s team, the World Test Championship finalists, will play Pakistan in three tests from Dec 14 to Jan 7, before taking on the West Indies in a two-test series from Jan 17 to Jan 29.

The Pakistan series begins in Perth, followed by the traditional Boxing Day and New Year tests in Melbourne and Sydney.

The first test of the West Indies series will be in Adelaide, before the teams travel to Brisbane for a day-night test.

Australia will play three one-dayers and three Twenty20 matches against the West Indies in February, in the build-up to next year’s T20 World Cup in the United States and West Indies.
