In their first visit to Pakistan in 18 years for the longer format of cricket, the West Indies team reached here on Monday to play a two-match Test series.
The team arrived in Islamabad on flight EK 612 from Dubai, prior to the games at the Multan Cricket Stadium later this month.
The visitors will play a three-day practice match, beginning on January 10, against the Pakistan Shaheens as part of their preparations.
Both teams will meet in Islamabad on January 6 and training sessions will take place over the next few days. On January 7, the Pakistani team will start training at the Islamabad Club. To prepare for the series, the Caribbean team will hold intensive training sessions for two days on January 8 and 9.
This tour represents a major turning point for cricket in Pakistan, as it is the first Test series the West Indies will play in Pakistan since their 2006 visit.
