The West Indies women’s cricket team has arrived in Karachi on Monday to lay three Twenty20 International matches against their Pakistani counterparts.

Speaking to media persons, West Indies Women Cricket Team Captain Merriss Aguilleira said: "We are happy to be here in Pakistan, where we received a warm welcome."

Speaking about the tournament she said,"The people of Pakistan are very passionate about cricket and we do wish to win the series in spite of the advantage that Pakistan's team has due to playing in home conditions."

She added: "I know this series will be tough because the Pakistani cricket team plays well and also looks strong on paper."

Pakistan's Captain Bisma Maroof said that her team was excited to be playing for the home team. "At least six players will be debuting in these matches."

"West Indies is a tough team to beat," she added.
