On 14th February, the Sri Lanka team would return to Pakistan to play a three-day warm-up match before the two Tests in Karachi from 22nd February and in Lahore from 2nd March.

It was confirmed by Duleep Mendis, Sri Lanka Cricket's chief executive that he was still in the process of finalizing the dates for the proposed series against India.
