Pak vs WI Series: The West Indies Cricket Team, as scheduled, has arrived in Pakistan to compete in the limited-over series starting from 13th December 2021 in Karachi’s National Stadium.
The two teams will undergo a three-match T20I series to be followed by as many ODIs.
Upon the guests’ arrival in the cricket-loving realm, the devotees could not keep their calm and have loaded social media with warm greetings. Not only the fans, but the officials and cricket bodies are happy to embrace the men in maroon.
Notably, after the cancelation of England and New Zealand tours, Pakistan suffered a massive blow with all their hard work to revive international cricket in the backyard going in vain. However, Cricket West Indies (CWI) promised to fulfill the statements and not to step back.
CWI’s step for sure will enhance future tours of the foreign teams to Pakistan finding no security issues at all. Cricketers from West Indies have always been proving their presence as an essence for the revival of international cricket in the country. Who can forget Darren Sammy’s contributions in the Pakistan Super League (PSL)?
It is pertinent to mention the three T20Is will be played on 13th, 14th, and 16th December sequentially whereas, the ODIs will be played on 18th, 20th, and 22nd December at NSK respectively.
