Pakistan vs Sri Lanka


Finally, the much awaited series between Pakistan and Sri Lanka gets started. This will be a series to remember as the two gigantic forces of Asia clash in the UAE. First they will play 3 tests, then 5 ODIs and  finally they are going to finish it off with a Twenty20 International.
The Pakistani test squad includes:
Misbah-ul-Haq (c)
Adnan Akmal (wk)
Asad Shafiq
Imran Farhat
Mohammad Hafeez
Shoib Malik
Umar Gul
Younis Khan
Abdur Rehman
Aizaz Cheema
Azhar Ali
Junaid Khan
Saeed Ajmel
Taufeeq Umar
Wahab Riaz


While the players of the Sri Lankan test squad are:
Tillakaratne Dilshan (c)
Dinesh Chandimal
Rangana Herath
Prasanna Jayawardene (wk) 
Kosala Kolasekara
Tharanga Paranavitana
Kumar Sangakkara
Lahiru Thirimane
Angelo Mathews
Nuwan Pradeep
Mahela Jayawardene
Suraj Randiv
Suranga Lakmal
Dhammika Prasad
Kaushal Silva (wk)
Chanaka Welegedara


Pakistan's confidence would be very high after the huge victory over Zimbabwe while Sri Lanka would still be reeling back from their loss against the Aussies. 


The Pakistani batting line-up looks very strong with Mohammad Hafeez and Younis Khan playing in the top three. Mahela Jayawardene says that he'll make sure that Sri Lanka end thier losing streak by beating Pakistan.
 Meanwhile Junaid Khan claims that he can take the place of the much missed fast bowler, Mohammad Aamir. With Taufeeq Umar looking to prove that he deserves to be on the team and with Dilshon looking to convince everyone that he is the ideal captain for Sri Lanka, this series is goin to be a tough one.
