COLOMBO: Pakistan cricket team has arrived in Colombo on Tuesday to play Test series against Sri Lanka.

Pakistan’s 15-man squad flew out of Lahore for Colombo late on Monday night with Test skipper Misbah-ul-Haq announcing that his boys will go all out for victory against Sri Lanka.

The Green-shirts will play three Tests, five One-day Internationals and two Twenty20 games against the hosts, with the aim of qualifying for the 2017 Champions Trophy in England.

Pakistan, currently ninth in one-day rankings, must beat Sri Lanka to get to the eighth spot or better before the September 30 cutoff date for the Champions Trophy, which will feature the top eight teams.
