KARACHI, April 4: The 15-member Bangladesh squad, led by Mohammad Ashraful, will land here at the Quaid-i-Azam International Airport early Sunday morning to play a one-day series against Pakistan besides a Twenty20 international.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) invited Bangladesh for a five-match One-day International series following Australia’s pullout of their scheduled tour of Pakistan in March-April due to security concerns.

The opening match of the ODI series will be played at the Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore on April 8.
