Cricket is set to return to Pakistan after long as Sri Lanka set to touch the base for three One-Day Internationals and as many T20 Internationals. The nation is holding a 50-over bilateral series for the first time since Zimbabwe visited the country in May 2015. All three 50-over games will be played in Karachi, with the city hosting ODIs for the first time since January 2009.
