New Zealand T20 squad arrived in Lahore from Dubai for the five-match series against Pakistan, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Tuesday.

The first T20 match between Pakistan and New Zealand will be played at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore on April 14 next.

New Zealand all-rounder Daryl Mitchell showed his excitement for the series against Pakistan.

“The players arrived in Pakistan after traveling for two days. The squad also includes a few young players,” he said.

“All the players are excited and looking forward to the series with Pakistan’s world class players. Conditions here will be different from New Zealand,” he added.
