Cricket fans around the globe are gearing up for the upcoming England, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka ODI tri-series, set to take place across two weeks in Lahore and Rawalpindi. As the 2027 Cricket World Cup approaches in less than a year, this competitive multi-nation tournament offers crucial preparation time for all three squads. Action kicks off when Pakistan faces Sri Lanka on October 18, followed by England taking on the hosts two days later, culminating in the final match on October 31.
Squad announcements have added extra intrigue to the fixtures. England's lineup features a blend of youth and experience, including uncapped players James Coles and Henry Crocombe alongside captain Harry Brook, Joe Root, and returning spinner Adil Rashid, though Jos Buttler and Jacob Bethell are sidelined with injuries. Meanwhile, Pakistan relies on familiar faces like Babar Azam and captain Shaheen Afridi, alongside standout debutant Razaullah. Sri Lanka's 16-man roster is led by Kusal Mendis, who showed strong form during their recent series in England.
