The Pakistan cricket team touched down in Cardiff on Sunday in preparation for the third T20I against England.
England is ahead in the four-match series with a 1-0 lead after defeating Pakistan in the second T20I, while the first match in Leeds was washed out due to rain.
The third T20I will be played on Tuesday at Sophia Gardens, Cardiff.
