COLOMBO: Few Sri Lanka cricketers are reportedly unwilling to travel to Pakistan for a limited-over series featuring three ODIs and as many T20 internationals, slated to be held in September and October this year.

The two Tests of the tour are scheduled to be held in the United Arab Emirates later after Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) turned down Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) request to hold the games in Pakistan.

According to a report in the website of Pakistan”s Urdu news channel Express News, the tour was finalized after a long discussion between the two cricket boards. However, Sri Lanka’s wicketkeeper-batsman Niroshan Dickwella and all-rounder Thisara Perera are not willing to participate in the tour.
