Tickets go on sale online

After the success of online ticketing for the recent Indian tour of Pakistan, the Pakistan Cricket Board has again launched an online service for fans in and outside Pakistan for purchasing tickets for the Paktel Cup and the Test series between Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

Tickets are available for online ordering: purchasers will be able to pick up their tickets at booths located near the venues.

The Paktel Cup is a seven-match triangular series featuring Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe, starting with a match between Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe at Multan on September 30. The final, at Lahore's Gaddafi Stadium, is on October 16.

Pakistan's two-Test series against Sri Lanka begins at Faisalabad on October 20.

The initiative, in partnership with Wisden Cricinfo, produced sales on the very first night, as fans gear up to follow their teams.

The Pakistan Cricket Board has allocated a substantial number of tickets to online buyers, and their online service is open to all-comers.
