Watch Sri Lanka Vs. Pakistan Test Cricket Live Online: Younis Khan To Play In 100th Test Match


Test cricket fans can watch live online as Sri Lanka hosts Pakistan in the second Test on the extensive Pakistan tour — a match that will mark the 100th Test played by Pakistan great Younis Khan.

The Pakistan national team would like to celebrate Khan’s century of Test caps by securing their first away Test series victory over Sri Lanka since 2006. The Pakistan side won a single Test match in that year, but have dropped all three series played in Sri Lanka since then.

Of course, the two cricket countries have not played a Test, or any match, within Pakistan borders since 2009, when a terrorist attack on the Sri Lanka team bus led to an international boycott of the country by Test-playing cricket nations.

That boycott was broken by Zimbabwe in May when the African nation visited for a series of three One day International matches and two T20 contests. Whether any other Test nation will follow suit remains uncertain.

Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq — whose team cruised to a rain-curtailed 10-wicket win in the First Test — said that his players are eager to mark a win in honor of Younis Khan (pictured above).

“Younis is the backbone and a very special member of the Pakistan team,” Misbah said Wednesday. “Playing 100 Tests is a huge achievement for any cricketer. He brings a lot of value to the team and brings a lot of good, positive energy. We all wish he can make his 100th Test memorable with a lot of runs. And we want to honor him by winning the match.”

Only four other Pakistan players have appeared in 100 Test Matches.
