The New Zealand cricket team arrived in Pakistan ahead of the limited-over series against the home team on Tuesday.

The New Zealand team led by Tom Latham arrived in Pakistan on Tuesday to play five ODIs and the same number of T20Is.

The Kiwis landed at Allama Iqbal International Airport today and were transferred to the hotel under tight security. The players will rest for two days before starting training on April 13th.

The five-game T20I series against New Zealand will be played in Lahore (April 14, 15, 17) and Rawalpindi (April 20, 24). The ODIs will be played in Rawalpindi (27th, 29th April) and Karachi (3rd, 5th, 7th May).

After reaching Pakistan, New Zealand all-rounder Daryl Mitchell said they are very excited for the T20 and ODI series in Pakistan.

"There are young players in the team who have never played in these conditions."

The player called the Pakistan tour "challenging" and said that Pakistan has a world-class team.

"The conditions here are very different from those in New Zealand and young players will gain experience," he said. The streak is quite long. We will try to play good cricket."
