The second test between Pakistan and Sri Lanka will be played in Rawalpindi instead of Lahore, the Pakistan Cricket Board announced on Tuesday, citing weather conditions.
“The second test match between Pakistan and Sri Lanka, originally scheduled to be played in Lahore from November 17 to 21, has been relocated to Rawalpindi due to prevailing weather conditions,” said a PCB statement.
A PCB spokesperson said increasing smog levels in Lahore prompted the move. The match dates remain unchanged.
First Test In Rawalpindi
The first test is currently being played in Rawalpindi, where Pakistan hold a strong position. On Tuesday, Pakistan scored 434 for nine declared in their first innings.
Sri Lanka closed the second day on 114 for three, trailing by 320 runs.
