Pakistan cricket team have arrived in Bangladesh Saturday morning to play three T20Is and two Tests.

An Emirates Airlines flight, carrying the team members, landed at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport at 8am.

The tour will start with T20Is as hosts Bangladesh will play the first match against visiting Pakistan next Friday at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur.

Pakistan cricket team were supposed to come this Tuesday, but since they lost to Australia in the semi-final a couple of days ago, they will arrive a few days earlier, according to team source.

The team will go straight from the airport to hotel bio secure environment. Upon testing negative on Covid-19, they can start their practice session from the next day.

Pakistan announced a strong squad for the Bangladesh tour as only Mohammad Hafeez from their T20 World Cup squad is not coming for the T20I series.

Bangladesh Cricket Board will announce the squad for the three-match T20I series soon as it was learnt that quite a few changes are being pondered in the squad compared to the one that played in the T20 World Cup.
