The Australian cricket team will reach Pakistan during the wee hours of Sunday morning via a special plane and will be escorted to their hotel from the airport under tight security.

After spending a day in isolation, the Kangaroos will be able to train from Monday. Australia's Test captain Pat Cummins will do an on-arrival press conference at 10.00 a.m today.

The media managers of the Australian touring party are already in Rawalpindi. It is worth mentioning that the media will not be allowed to cover the arrival of the visiting team due to security reasons. Instead, the respective cricketing boards will be releasing photos and videos.

Pakistan Test squad will complete isolation today and a practice session of the players has been scheduled for Sunday morning. Captain Babar Azam, Sarfraz Ahmed and Naseem Shah will also be part of the training.

It must be noted that Australia will play three Tests, three ODIs and a T20I from March 4 to April 5. Rawalpindi will host the Test series opener and white-ball leg while Karachi and Lahore will host the second and third Test respectively.
