Pakistan cricket has been declined a lot in the recent times and one reason for it is the terrorist activities in Pakistan. Players are not able to play international cricket in home ground after the attack on Srilankan team. Home grounds and home crowds supports players a lot and give them confidence. But unfortunately, after the attack on Srilankan cricket team in Lahore near Gaddafi cricket Stadium on 3rd march, 2009. Few of the players got injured in this attack but luckily all went safe back Srilanka. The International cricket also went from Pakistan with the Srilankan team. International Cricket Board was like that no cricket will be played in Pakistan till 2015. Pakistan was to host the ICC World cup 2011 with India, Srilanka and Bangladesh but due to the attack on Srilankan team in 2009, Pakistan was not able to host the mega event. No international cricket has been played in Pakistan for last three and a half year but now we see few efforts for the revival of international cricket in Pakistan.
After three and a half year, Dr. Mohammad Ali Shah managed to convince few of the former International cricketers to come to Pakistan and play cricket match over year. This was an effort to show t he world that Pakistan is a safe place and there is a future of cricket in Pakistan. This event went successful and showed a good image of the country. It proved that Pakistan has a better security plans now and are capable of hosting International cricket. This event was an important event for Pakistan Premier League that is a major step for the revival of cricket in Pakistan.
Everyone is very excited to see International and local players participating in Pakistan premier league in Pakistan and expecting that this will open routes for International Cricket in Pakistan. But still the question is that are we prepared to host such big league? Is it too early to host the event? Our security is strong enough to protect International players against terrorism? These questions have a real importance for Pakistan Cricket. Pakistan Premier League is the last hope for the revival of International Cricket in Pakistan and if we are not able to host it successfully, then international cricket in Pakistan will end up as a dream for everyone!
