RAWALPINDI: The Rawalpindi police have made special security and traffic arrangements for the Pakistan Test cricket team’s pre-series training camp at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium ahead of the team’s tour of the West Indies.

According to a police spokesperson, a comprehensive security plan has been implemented on the directives of City Police Officer (CPO) Hassan Mushtaq Sukhera.
