The Pakistan cricket team toured Sri Lanka in July 2022 to play two Test matches against the Sri Lankan cricket team.[1] The Test series formed part of the 2021–2023 ICC World Test Championship.[2][3] In April 2022, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) confirmed that the series would be taking place.[4][5] Originally, the tour was also going to include three One Day International (ODI) matches,[6] but these were cancelled in May 2022,[7] as they were not part of the 2020–2023 ICC Cricket World Cup Super League.[8] The fixtures for the tour were confirmed in June 2022.[9] Pakistan last toured Sri Lanka for a Test series in June and July 2015.[10] On 17 July 2022, Sri Lanka Cricket moved the second Test from the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo to the Galle International Stadium due to the economic crisis in the country.[11]

Pakistan won the first Test by four wickets after they were set a target of 342 runs to win the match.[12] It was Pakistan's second-highest successful run chase in Test cricket, and the highest successful run chase for any team playing a Test in Galle.[13] Sri Lanka won the second Test by 246 runs to draw the series 1–1, with Dhananjaya de Silva scoring a century.[14] Player of the series Prabath Jayasuriya took his fourth five-wicket haul in six innings.[15]
