After all, cricket returned to Pakistan: a celebratory atmosphere between tremendous security

Pakistan take a huge step towards reviving international cricket at home after years of isolation when they host a three-match Twenty20 series amid tight security against a star-studded World XI, starting Tuesday.The series will be the most high-profile in the cricket-mad country since a militant attack on the Sri Lankan team bus in 2009 at Lahore left eight dead and drove away international cricket and most other sports.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) have high hopes that the series will close that dark chapter for good, and allow a new generation of players to experience the thrill of playing before a home crowd for the first time.

With the three games being given international status, both the teams would be looking to start on a winning note.
