After the visa issue got sorted, Babar Azam-led Pakistan are set to reach India today. The Men in Green will arrive in Hyderabad and begin training for the showpiece event from tomorrow onwards. Pakistan kick off the World Cup by playing against the Netherlands on October 6 in Hyderabad. They will play one more game in Hyderabad against Sri Lanka on October 10, before departing to Ahmedabad to play India on October 14.
Before the World Cup, Pakistan were last seen in the Asia Cup. The Babar Azam-led side had a horrible outing in the Continental Cup as they failed to reach the semi-final. However, before they play Netherlands in their first WC game, Pakistan will play two warm-up games. In those two matches, the Men in Green would be keen to do well with bat and ball.
