Overview
- The Pakistan Cricket Board announced 15‑player ODI and T20I squads on Saturday, July 18, confirming Fatima Sana as ODI captain and Muneeba Ali as T20I captain.
- Fatima Sana will lead the three ODIs in Hambantota and then travel to England to play for Birmingham Phoenix in The Hundred, which will make her unavailable for the three T20Is.
- Selectors made eight changes to the T20I side to broaden the pool, naming several uncapped or yet‑to‑debut players including Eman Naseer, Maham Anees and Momina Riasat who could win maiden T20I caps.
- Pakistan will arrive in Sri Lanka on July 20 for training on July 21–22 before playing three ODIs on July 23, 25 and 28 and three T20Is on July 31, August 2 and August 4 in Hambantota.
- The ODI series carries points for the ICC Women’s Championship so results will affect qualification pathways, and the tour will serve as a test of the PCB’s youth‑integration policy ahead of 2027 World Cup planning.
