Sri Lanka Eye Test Series Win in Pakistan

Karachi: Sri Lanka skipper Mahela Jayawardene on Sunday said his team has put behind their home drubbing by India and are now focused to win the Test series against Pakistan that begins February 21.

Two hours after landing in Karachi for a two-match Test series, Mahela said that even though his team failed to click against India in the One-dayers, Test cricket would be a different ball game.

"We didn't play very well against India in the One-dayers but we have a different team for the Tests and I'm confident we will put up a good performance," he said.

The outgoing Sri Lanka skipper said he is looking forward to a "good Test series"

"Pakistan are a quality team. It's true that they haven't played any Test in a long time but we will wait and see what approach they are going to adopt for the series," said Jayawardene, who has decided to step down as Sri Lanka captain after the series.
The two Tests will be played in Karachi February 21-25 and Lahore March 1-5.

Pakistan will have a new captain in senior batsman Younis Khan as the country's cricket bosses asked previous skipper Shoaib Malik to step down after a crushing 234-run defeat against Sri Lanka in the One-day series finale in Lahore last month.
