— Pakistan Cricket (@TheRealPCB) September 1, 2023
Squad: Babar Azam, Shadab Khan, Fakhar Zaman, Imamul Haq, Salman Ali Agha, Iftikhar Ahmed, Mohammad Rizwan, Mohammad Nawaz, Naseem Shah, Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf.
Meanwhile, due to the tense relationship between the two countries, Pakistan and India only compete in ACC or ICC competitions. Kandy will be the centre of attention on September 2, when the bitter rivals square off in the Asia Cup 2023.
However, rain is very likely to cancel the much-anticipated game.
Rain is expected to fall in Kandy all week, and there is a 70% chance that it will interfere with the match when it begins at 3 p.m. local time.
Meanwhile, World Weather Online predicts 102.55mm of rain for Saturday.
Rain is forecast for Friday and Saturday morning, so the game may be postponed.
Because there will be constant showers from 7 a.m. to midnight local time, the game could end in a tie.
