COLOMBO: Sri Lanka are planning to send more teams to Pakistan after playing a Twenty20 match in Lahore, a top official said Tuesday.

Sri Lanka Cricket chief executive Ashley de Silva said the national team were impressed with the extraordinary level of security for the match at the Gaddafi stadium on Sunday.

“They delivered the security they promised and we were very satisfied with all the arrangements,” de Silva told reporters in Colombo a day after the team returned home.

He said the board would send junior sides to Pakistan soon and the senior side would follow as soon as possible.

“Our FTP (Future Tours Program) does not include Pakistan, but we will have one as soon as  possible,” he said. “We are sending our A team and an Under-19 team to play against Pakistan shortly.”
