RAWALPINDI: Sri Lanka's cricket team arrived in Pakistan on Monday (Dec 9) to play a two-test series that will be the first Tests in Pakistan in more than a decade.

Sri Lanka was the last team to play a Test match in Pakistan in 2009 before the team came under a terrorist attack in Lahore. Eight people were killed and several Sri Lankan players and team officials were injured during the attack.
