Pakistan, England squads reach Multan for second Test

MULTAN: The squads of Pakistan and England have landed in the city to partake in the upcoming second Test of the historic series after a delay in their flight.

According to the details, the teams were originally scheduled to depart for Multan at 11 AM from Islamabad International Airport, however, dense smog here caused a three-hour delay.

Both squads then boarded a special charter flight PK 6681 which took off from the capital at 2:40 PM and arrived at Multan International Airport within an hour.

Following their arrival, the teams were then taken to the local hotel under tight security.

It is pertinent to mention that following England captain Ben Stokes’ brave declaration, the bowlers’ brilliance powered the touring side to claim a scintillating victory over Pakistan in the first Test.

The second Test of the historic series will commence on December 9 here at the Multan International Cricket Stadium.
