Pakistan's cricket team arrived in Galle late on Saturday for their tour of Sri Lanka with the first Test between the two countries to be played on August 6th at the Galle International Cricket Stadium.

Beginning on Aug 6th, Misbah-ul-Haq and his men will play two Tests and three one-day internationals in Sri Lanka.

Pakistan has dropped top order batsman Mohammad Hafeez from their Test squad and recalled former captain Younis Khan in the one-day team for next month's tour of Sri Lanka.

Pace duo Umar Gul and Mohammad Irfan missed out on the tour due to ongoing fitness concerns.
