Pakistan is set to host Sri Lanka in a two-Test series, with the first match commencing on November 9 in Rawalpindi. In a significant move, the Pakistan cricket team has named four debutants in their playing XI, marking a fresh start following a disappointing series against England.

The four players making their Test debuts for Pakistan are Tayyab Arif, Mohammad Taha, Arafat Minhas, and Saqib Khan. This decision reflects a strategic shift by the team management as they look to revitalize the squad and improve their performance on the international stage.S2

Sri Lanka, on the other hand, has opted to bowl first after winning the toss, indicating their confidence in the bowling attack and the conditions at Rawalpindi. This Test series is crucial for both teams as they aim to establish their dominance in the longer format of the game.S1S2
