West Indies arrive in Pakistan for T20, ODI series

KARACHI: The West Indies cricket team arrived here on Thursday for three Twenty20 and three one-day internationals series. All the matches will be played in Karachi from December 13.

This is the Caribbean team's first visit to Pakistan since 2018. A Pakistani official said that a 26-member team had flown to Karachi on Thursday before being escorted by heavy security to the team hotel.

The series comes three months after New Zealand quit their first tour to Pakistan in 18 years shortly before the opening match was due to start following a security alert. That was followed by England's decision to withdraw visits by their men's and women's teams scheduled for October.

Pakistan endured a long spell without a visit from an international team following a terror attack on a bus carrying the Sri Lankan team in Lahore in 2009. After that Pakistan were forced to play their home international matches abroad - mostly in the United Arab Emirates - until 2015 when normal service tentatively resumed. IANS
