Ever since the terror attacks in 2009, no international Test cricket playing nation visited Pakistan due to security issues. ICC also refrained from sending any officials of referees for the 2015 series involving Zimbabwe in Lahore.
Pakistan's star all-rounder Shahid Afridi welcomed the move of international cricket with a tweet of his own. Shahid Afridi, who is known to have a good relationship with some Indian cricketers also tweeted in their favour.
Really pleased that PCB- ICC have joined hands to bring cricket back home to Pak. Would 've been great to see some Indian players too
