Sri Lanka name squads for Pakistan and Zimbabwe assignments

Charith Asalanka will lead both the white-ball squads as Sri Lanka return to action.

The last time Sri Lanka faced Pakistan was in the Asia Cup Super Fours, where Pakistan went on to reach the final after defeating Sri Lanka.

Pakistan, meanwhile, come into the series after playing two Tests (1-1) and three T20Is against South Africa, winning it 2-1 at home, followed by an ODI series against the Proteas, which is currently level at 1-1.
