By Saurabh Sharma December 11, 2019 • 16:39 PM View: 822

Rawalpindi, Dec 11: The two-Test series between Pakistan and Sri Lanka which began here on Wednesday has marked the return of the longest format of the game to Pakistan after 10 years. Sri Lanka were the last team to play Tests there, in 2009, when their tour was cut short by an attack on the team bus.

The first match is being played at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium while the second Test will be held at the National Stadium in Karachi from December 19.
