The Sri Lankan Under-19 cricket team will play five One-day matches in its 15-day tour of Pakistan starting from Nov 15.

The Sri Lankan tour was in doubt due to security concerns. But the Sri Lankan Cricket Board sent a green signal to the Pakistan Cricket Board Tuesday.

One match of the five one-day series was to be held at Peshawar but now shifted to the Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore, where last two matches will be played on Nov 26 and 27.

It would be the first tour of any country to Pakistan after Sept 11 air attacks in NewYork and Washington. Meanwhile, the PCB will announce its junior team for this series on Wednesday.
