Cricket fans in Rawalpindi and Islamabad can buy their seats for the first Pakistan vs Sri Lanka Test from today. The Pakistan Cricket Board has put Pakistan Sri Lanka Test tickets on sale from 2pm on Friday, 6 November, with prices starting at just Rs 200 a day — the same flat rate for the General, First-Class, Premium and VIP enclosures.
The opening Test of the two-match series begins at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on Monday, 9 November, and runs for five days until Friday, 13 November. The PCB announced the sale on Thursday, giving fans three days to secure their seats before the first ball is bowled. Tickets are being sold through TCS Express Centres across the twin cities, and the board has confirmed that prices will stay the same for every day of the match.
Tickets on sale from 2pm today
Pakistan Sri Lanka Test tickets go on sale at 2pm today at four designated outlets. In Rawalpindi, fans can buy from the TCS Express Centre on Kashmir Road in Saddar and from the Box Office at Aviation Ground on Rawal Road. In Islamabad, tickets are available at Plot No. 394-A on Potohar Road, near the police station in Sector I-9/3. A fourth outlet, the TCS Regional Office near Fazaia Colony on Link Road in Khanna, also serves Rawalpindi buyers.
Each ticket covers a single day of the Test, so supporters planning to watch the whole match will need one ticket per day. The PCB has said details of ticket sales for the second Test in Lahore will be announced in due course, so fans travelling to Gaddafi Stadium will have to wait for a separate sale notice. With the sale opening on a Friday afternoon and the match starting on Monday, queues at the twin-city outlets are expected to be busiest over the weekend — so anyone keen on Pakistan Sri Lanka Test tickets should head to an outlet early rather than leaving it to Monday morning.
What each ticket costs
The headline figure is Rs 200 a day, and it buys far more than the cheapest seat. The PCB has priced the General, First-Class, Premium and VIP enclosures identically for this Test, which means a fan paying Rs 200 can sit in the stands named after Miran Bakhsh and Sohail Tanvir, Shoaib Akhtar and Yasir Arafat, Azhar Mahmood and Javed Miandad, or Imran Khan and Javed Akhtar. Watching all five days from any of those enclosures costs Rs 1,000 in total. Geo Super reports that the Rs 200 rate applies to all five days, with the PCB Gallery at Rs 800 and the Platinum Box at Rs 8,000.
Two premium options sit above that flat rate. A seat in the PCB Gallery, inside the stadium’s main building, costs Rs 800 per person per day. The most expensive ticket is the Platinum Box, priced at Rs 8,000 per person per day. Both are charged per day, just like the Rs 200 seats, and the PCB has confirmed that none of these prices will change across the five days of the Test.
The flat Rs 200 pricing is a deliberate choice. Test cricket depends on crowds building over five days, and a low entry price gives families and students a reason to come back day after day. For the PCB, a full house in Rawalpindi also sets the tone for the home season, with the Lahore Test to follow a week later. That is why Pakistan Sri Lanka Test tickets at this price are likely to sell quickly once the outlets open at 2pm.
The series at a glance
The two Tests form part of the ICC World Test Championship 2025–27, so every session carries points as well as pride. The first Test runs from 9 to 13 November at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, and the second takes place at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore from 17 to 21 November. Before the series, Sri Lanka have been warming up in a three-day match against a PCB Patron’s XI at Islamabad Club Ground, played from 4 to 6 November.
Pakistan go into the series at home, where their spinners and reverse swing have traditionally decided Tests, while Sri Lanka arrive with a side built around disciplined batting and a spin attack of their own. The Rawalpindi pitch has a reputation for offering something for the fast bowlers early on before flattening out, which should make the first two days lively and the middle of the match a test of patience.

A ground with history
Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium has staged international cricket since 1992, and its first international match was itself a Pakistan vs Sri Lanka one-day international on 19 January 1992. The ground, close to Pir Mehr Ali Shah Arid Agriculture University and the Rawalpindi Arts Council, holds around 15,000 spectators and has hosted World Cup matches, Champions Trophy games and some of Pakistan’s most memorable home Tests.
That history is part of the appeal of this fixture. Sri Lanka were the first visitors to the ground more than three decades ago, and they return for a Test that opens Pakistan’s home red-ball season. For fans in the twin cities, the combination of a historic venue, a Rs 200 ticket and a five-day Test is hard to beat.

Pakistan Sri Lanka Test tickets are on sale from 2pm today — once they are gone, the only way in is the resale queue.
