Pakistani cricket team in Ceylon in 1948–49
The Pakistan national cricket team toured Ceylon from mid-March to mid-April 1949 and played four matches including two internationals against the Ceylon national team.[1] As neither country had yet achieved Test status, the internationals are classified as first-class matches. Both games were played at the Paikiasothy Saravanamuttu Stadium in Colombo and Pakistan won them both: the first by an innings and 192 runs; the second by 10 wickets.[2][3] These two matches were the first four-day internationals played in Ceylon.[4] Pakistan were captained by Mohammed Saeed and Ceylon by Derrick de Saram.
