The second Test match between Pakistan and Sri Lanka has been relocated from Lahore to Rawalpindi due to worsening smog conditions in Lahore, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has confirmed.
The match, originally scheduled to take place in Lahore from November 17 to 21, 2026, will now be played at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on the same dates.
A PCB spokesperson said the decision was taken in view of increasing smog levels in Lahore, which have raised concerns over playing conditions.
The relocation means Rawalpindi will host the second Test of the series, with no changes to the scheduled match dates.
The PCB has confirmed the venue change as part of arrangements to ensure suitable conditions for the match. (Newswire)
