March 12, 2016

The Pakistan men's cricket team arrived in Kolkata on Saturday evening after high drama over the last few days to play the ICC World Twenty20.

The 27-member contingent had left for India immediately after they got the government's nod.

Security was tightened at the Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Airport before the team's arrival.

Pakistan will play a warmup game against Sri Lanka at the Eden Gardens on Monday before opening their World T20 campaign against one of the qualifiers on Wednesday. The highly-anticipated India-Pakistan clash will take place on March 19.
