Why is the Pakistan team returning from the 2017 Champions Trophy in groups?

I have been watching the news and players returning in groups or lets say small chunks. First shezzy(real champ),Babar,Hassan Ali,Faheem Ashraf arrived at lhr airport then Captain Sarfraz and Rumman Raees at Karachi. Shouldn't it better that whole time arriving at the same airport lhr or khi with historic welcome rather then coming in chunks ?

Seats was reserved weeks earlier and no one imagined they would win the trophy. Expectations were not great hence, a low key return in small groups was thought to be a better option.

It's resting time for a couple of weeks at least now, so they're going home. It's been a long time coming anyways, been on the road since mid March, now it's mid June, they need a break, and some family time.

5 players stayed back. Everyone else is going to different cities, so different flight schedules probably

Dont they want to be welcomed with hero's reception back in their country ? -_-

Amir is playing county cricket. I don't know about the rest.

They thought they were going to loose... so they booked different low profile seats because they didn't want Pakistanis at the airport to taunt them when they return to Pakistan...

PCB should have organised the whole team return. Looks like there was no planning of this.

Even after Wt20 win, they arrived sepratley. I agree, all coming togather in Lahore an dthen having open bus parade would have been great but for some reason, they don't.
