Cricket: England team arrives in Pakistan for the first time in 17 years

Karachi (Web Desk): The England cricket team landed in Pakistan on Thursday to play Twenty20 International (T20I) matches.

The touring team was welcomed by Pakistan Cricket Board officials and others at Karachi's Jinnah International Airport.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has made all the arrangements for the much-anticipated home series against England, who are set to visit the country for the first time in 17 years.

The visiting team will take a day's rest before starting training on September 16.

Karachi will host the first four games between September 20 to 25, and the remaining matches will be played in Lahore from September 28 to October 2.

England announced T20 squad including Jos Buttler (captain), Moeen Ali, Harry Brook, Jordan Cox, Sam Curran, Ben Duckett, Liam Dawson, Richard Gleeson, Tom Helm, Will Jacks, Dawid Malan, Adil Rashid, Phil Salt, Olly Stone, Reece Topley, David Willey, Chris Woakes, Luke Wood, and Mark Wood.

The PCB will announce the squad for the T20 series against England in the next two days as the performance of the batters in the recently concluded T20 Asia Cup 2022 prompted the selection committee to make changes in the squad.
