Suranga Lakmal will begin his final Test series with Sri Lanka this week, as he takes on India, while Shan Masood makes his return to the Pakistan side against Australia.
Both series begin on Friday 4 March and will be available to watch on Sky Sports. Coverage of the first Pakistan vs Australia Test will be aired from 4:50 am on Sky Sports Mix.
The first Test between Sri Lanka and India will be shown on Sky Sports Cricket in-between ICC Women’s World Cup fixtures, with highlights of the game on the same channel each day.
Lakmal will retire from international cricket at the end of the two-match series, before joining Derbyshire on a two-year deal. He will finish as Sri Lanka’s four-highest leading wicket-taker in Test cricket.
Masood comes into Pakistan’s three-match series against Australia in good form, after being the third-highest run-scorer (478) in the 2022 Pakistan Super League, with his Multan Sultans finishing as runner-ups.
