Although I was too young at that moment I still remember that helicopter in Qaddafi Stadium Lahore rescuing the Srilankan Players after that unfortunate attack on Srilankan National Team.
Cricket lives in the veins of every Pakistani whether he is a youngster or grown man, male or female.Fortunately, Players were safe from that incident but the consequences we suffer were not good.No international cricket since that incident, and empty stadiums have never been a pleasant sight for any sports-loving nation.But things are changing now, and Pakistani Cricket Board deserve an applause because they are doing everything in their might to bring cricket back home.First gesture in this effort was organizing Finale of Pakistan Super League 2 in Lahore.This Idea faced quite an opposition and Renown International Players were also not willing to come to Pakistan but it served as a nerve relaxing and confidence building event for so many players.World X1 had a series in Pakistan, and now almost all players are coming to Pakistan For PSL3 playoffs and final.And we also have a series with West Indies after that.Finally this all era of a drought of international cricket has come to an end and we are hoping that we'll be hosting ICC events too in future...InshALLAH...
