An entertaining draw saw Sri Lanka win the three match series 1-0. Both teams seemed to have played out some good cricket but the rained off day on Monday was the difference in the end. This meant Sri Lanka won their first series since Muralitharan's retirement and Pakistan lost their first series in nearly two years. 

The English summer of 2010 was one for Pakistanis the world over to forget in cricketing terms. The spot-fixing scandal threatened to derail Pakistani cricket for a long time. There were even calls from some —one being Ian Botham —for Pakistan to be banned from the International game indefinitely. Though what really emerged from that tour was that Pakistan's batting future was sealed.

With Younis Khan serving a ban and Mohammad Yousaf ignored, Azhar Ali got his first call-up. His First Class record was average at best and he had started his career as a specialist leg spinner until Scotland saw something in him with the bat. All things taken into consideration, the Board seemed to have made a horrendous decision. What followed was Azhar showing the world a glimpse of his talent. Despite not having a great technique and not being a natural stroke player, his hunger and drive were strong evidence that Pakistan had a talent that could excel in the world game.

Kamran Akmal, Who has been out of the Pakistan side for more than a year now has been cleared of any wrong doing by the officials within the Pakistan cricket board.

The controversial wicketkeeper was called upon by the PCB's integrity committee but it is yet to be decided if he is cleared yet, However he still finds his name in the T20 World cup squad. 

Pakistan Under-19s tied in the final of the Asia cup against arch rivals India. Pakistan, like all other games, had performed admirably with the bat but this time the bowlers had come against a super talent in Unmukt Chand. Though with Zia-ul-Haq returning and not in full flow, Ehsan Adil delivered when it mattered most. Here is a insight to some of the players playing for Pakistan, and their chances of playing for Pakistan.

Babar Azam: Babar is the captain of the side and a promising talent. An opening batsman with a pure technique, Babar has been tipped by many to represent Pakistan for a long time. Cousin to the Akmal's, Babar is about to represent Pakistan in his second World Cup and remains one of the favourites to lift the coveted youth trophy. 

Prediction: Will play for Pakistan for a long time. 

Sami Aslam: Sami was a unique talent and when KheloPakistan became the first media outlet to interview him we knew he had a good head on young shoulders. Still only 16, Sami has the ability to match any Pakistani player in history. A left handed opener, first came to recognition in a Tri-Nations tournament in South Africa. His 465 runs at 115 in the Asia Cup, which included two centuries (both against India) only emphasised the talent that pakistan have on their hands.

Prediction: Sami is still 16 and its hard to evaluate, but if he keeps working hard he will become a Pakistani great.

Broadcasting and commercial reasons prevent the longest ever T20 series from occuring.

A mixture of a flat surface and some ordinary weather ensured Sri Lanka and Pakistan played out a disappointing draw at the SSC in Colombo. The batsman dominated when play was possible, with the exception of Junaid Khan, all the bowlers slaughtered.

Abdul Razzaq and Imran Nazir find there names in the squad as Pakistan announced the 30 man probables for the 2012 T20 world cup in Sri Lanka

The ICC has approved the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and Cricket Australia's (CA) joint request to play six T20s rather than ODIs. This request was made after the original series, due to be held in Sri Lanka, had to be moved as it was clashing with the Sri Lankan Premier League.
