On Sunday, England cricket team arrived in Islamabad first time in 17 years to play a three-match Test series against Pakistan.
PCB officials welcomed the England player at the Islamabad International Airport as they stepped on the soil of the South Asian country after a long period.
The first Test scheduled to be played in Rawalpindi from December 1 to 5. While the second game of the series will be played in Multan (December 9-13) and Karachi will host the final match from December 17-21.
Earlier, PCB Chief Selector Muhammad Wasim announced the 18-player squad for the three-Test home series against England.
Mystery spinner Abrar Ahmed and fast bowler Mohammad Ali have been rewarded for their strong first-class performances with maiden Test call-ups on the back of their thrilling performance in Quaid-e-Azam Trophy editions.
Uncapped Mohammad Wasim Jnr and Zahid Mehmood, who were part of the Test side for the three Tests against Australia earlier in the year, are the other two players to return to the side.
Pace bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi was unavailable for selection after he underwent appendicitis surgery, which will require three-four weeks’ rest following which he will resume his two-week rehabilitation on his right knee.
Pacer Haris Rauf will also be representing the national side for the home series.
