Sri Lanka Captain Mendis Wins Toss, Sends a New-Look Pakistan Lineup in to Bat in 1st Cricket Test
- On Monday, Sri Lanka captain Kusal Mendis won the toss and elected to bowl first in the first cricket test against a new-look Pakistan lineup in Rawalpindi.
- Pakistan remains at the bottom of the World Test Championship standings, having won only two of nine matches in this cycle, including losses to England and Bangladesh.
- The hosts fielded four debutants—Arafat Minhas, Saqib Khan, Tayyab Arif, and Mohammad Taha—while Sri Lanka excluded specialist spinner Prabath Jayasuriya to field four fast bowlers.
- Mendis said the grass-covered pitch at Pindi Stadium favored pace bowling, stating, "It looks like a fast-bowling wicket and the first session will be very important."
- At the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Sri Lanka holds positive memories after achieving the second-highest successful ODI run chase in history, scoring 430 against England last month.
