Pakistan tour in Sri Lanka 2022/23

Pakistan tour in Sri Lanka refers to a recurring series of bilateral cricket fixtures between the national teams of Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Governed by the International Cricket Council (ICC), the arrangement operates under ad-hoc bilateral agreements rather than as a permanent standing competition with a fixed founding date. The structure typically comprises two to three Test matches, three to five One Day Internationals (ODIs), or three Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is) per tour. Both nations are ICC Full Members, meaning promotion and relegation concepts do not apply to their participation.

The history of the contest dates back to the early 1980s, with the first Test match played in Karachi in 1982. Pakistan holds a historical lead in the Test head-to-head record. While there is no single permanent trophy for the overarching rivalry, individual series have occasionally carried temporary sponsor names, such as the Warid Cricket Series in 2007. Political tensions have periodically influenced scheduling, leading to some past matches being held at neutral venues like the United Arab Emirates, though recent tours have returned to Sri Lanka.

The list of participants often includes the Sri Lanka Cricket XI, an invitational domestic select side utilised for warm-up purposes rather than formal competition. This entity is distinct from the top domestic first-class tournaments in each country: the Major League Tournament in Sri Lanka and the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy in Pakistan. Similarly, franchise clubs associated with the Pakistan Super League or the National T20 Cup are separate entities from this international bilateral series.
