West Indies cricket team have arrived in Karachi to play three T20Is and three ODIs at the National Stadium Karachi, starting on December 13 (Monday), Aaj News reported.

The 26-member contingent flew to Karachi early on Thursday, before being escorted to the team hotel amid heavy security.

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) shared a video of their arrival on its official Twitter handle.

This is West Indies' first tour of the country since 2018. They are the first nation to visit Pakistan after New Zealand and England called off scheduled tours to the country in September due to security concerns.

New Zealand had abandoned the tour minutes before the first ODI in Rawalpindi on September 17. England followed suit, and withdrew from the men's and women's tours of Pakistan in October citing “player and staff well-being”.
