Pakistan and Sri Lanka first locked horns in Tests against each other in 1982. Since then, the two Asian giants have faced in the longest format several times. One of Sri Lanka’s early Test wins, at the Colombo Cricket Club Ground in 1985/86, came against Pakistan: fast bowlers Asantha de Mel, Kosala Kuruppuarachchi, and Ravi Ratnayeke shared all twenty wickets on that occasion.

Pakistan, the older of the two Test sides, held an upper hand, but Sri Lanka clawed their way into this rivalry thanks to their team’s excellent run from the mid-1990s to the mid-2010s.

Over the course of four and a half decades, as many as 29 captains have led in the Pakistan vs Sri Lanka Test matches as of November 9, 2026. In this quiz, you have to name all those players and you have five minutes for that! Good luck!
