The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced Rawalpindi and Karachi as venues to host Sri Lanka in December as chances of Pakistan hosting its first Test series in 10 years have improved after discussions with the Sri Lank Cricket (SLC).

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has sent an itinerary for the two Tests of the ICC World Test Championship to the Sri Lankan board. The first Test will be held in Rawalpindi from December 11 to 15 while Karachi will host the second Test from December 19-23.

Since March 2009, when the Sri Lankan team was attacked by militants in Lahore, no team has toured Pakistan for a Test series.

The PCB has scheduled no practice or side matches for the touring side.(The Hindu)
