The second Test between Pakistan and Sri Lanka will be played in Rawalpindi instead of Lahore because of bad weather, the Pakistan Cricket Board announced on Tuesday.
“The second test match between Pakistan and Sri Lanka, originally scheduled to be played in Lahore from November 17 to 21, has been relocated to Rawalpindi due to prevailing weather conditions,” said a PCB statement.
A PCB spokesperson said the decision was made because of increasing smog levels in Lahore. The dates of the match remain unchanged.
The first Test is currently being played in Rawalpindi, where Pakistan holds a strong position. Pakistan scored 434 for nine declared in their first innings.
Sri Lanka closed the second day on 114 for three, trailing by 320 runs.
