Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed is still counting on Sri Lanka turning up for a limited-overs tour this month despite alleged terrorist threats.
Sri Lanka Cricket said on Wednesday it was warned of a possible terrorist threat during the scheduled tour of Pakistan, and sought a reassessment of the security situation before the first of three one-day internationals on Sept. 27 in Karachi.
There's also three Twenty20s scheduled in Lahore from Oct. 5-9.
"Inshallah (God willing) they will come, we should hope for the best," Sarfaraz said on Friday in Karachi.
"The Pakistan Cricket Board is trying its best and we should all pray that international cricket should come back to Pakistan."
