LAHORE, April 6: A 15-member Bangladesh cricket team with seven officials arrived here on Sunday via Karachi to play five One-day Internationals and a Twenty-20 match.

The series starts with the first match at Lahore on Tuesday.

Both the teams will hold net practice in the afternoon on Monday besides addressing press conferences.

Meanwhile, the inclement weather forced Pakistan team to practise indoors at the National Cricket Academy.

Manager Talat Ali said the boys were eager to perform against Bangladesh. He dispelled the impression that the ongoing issue of Shoaib Akhtar had negative impact on the players.

Meanwhile, Shahid Afridi and Younis Khan joined the training camp on Sunday. Sohail Tanvir is likely to join it on Monday.
