Sri Lanka’s national men’s team and emerging players have already reached Bangladesh and England respectively, however, the fate of the national women’s team tour of Pakistan hangs in balance.

“We are not sure at this moment whether the tour would take place,” a source in Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) said.

This is due to the current political crisis in Sri Lanka.  

“The country has a curfew. The training of the national women squad at the Tamil Union ground had to be cancelled on Monday. It may not be held there on Tuesday also. We are monitoring the situation for two to three days more before the final decision on continuation of the Pak tour is taken,” the source further added.

The 15-member women’s team is scheduled to leave for Pakistan on May 19.

In this Sri Lankan women’s team’s first-ever tour of Pakistan, all six white ball matches -- three T-20I and three ODIs -- will be played in Karachi at South End club.

The ODI series will be played under the ICC Women’s Championship.
