The Pakistan ODI Tri-Series 2026 brings together the hosts, England and Sri Lanka for a 50-over tournament that runs from October 18 to October 31.
All seven matches will be played at two venues, Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium and the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, with six league fixtures leading into a final between the top two sides.

England’s team arrived in Islamabad on Friday and is due to train at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on Saturday as it gets ready for the seven-match event. Harry Brook captains a group that includes Joe Root, Adil Rashid and Sam Curran.
Sri Lanka will be led by Kusal Mendis, and the 16-man group blends experienced names such as Dasun Shanaka and Pathum Nissanka with younger options.
