Pakistan, England and Sri Lanka prepare for 2027 ODI World Cup with tri-series

Pakistan, England and Sri Lanka will use a seven-match tri-series beginning in Rawalpindi on Sunday to evaluate their readiness for the 2027 ODI World Cup. The three former world champions are using the tournament as a key preparation platform ahead of next year's 50-over competition.

The tri-series format will allow each team to test their strategies, player combinations and performance levels in competitive matches. For Pakistan, hosting the event provides home advantage as they seek to strengthen their World Cup campaign.
