For most of the Pakistani people cricket is the in their blood. They have a special relationship with this game a special kind of bonding that they just cannot break or leave. Cricket is one game that has always united this nation.
For the last 6 years Pakistan have starved for international cricket just because of terrorism was haunting the country. Since 2009 there has been no international cricket in Pakistan. Srilankan team was attacked this year and the doors to international cricket shut on us.
The Pakistani and PCB kept on knocking at the doors but no one was listening to the moaning we had in our hearts for 6 long years. How much they were long ask the people of Pakistan and when Zimbabwe came to this land the celebrations might give you a strong calculations.
Zimbabwe was the first nation that decided to make a tour to the elands which the world thought were unsafe and initially the decision was first made then the news came that it will get cancelled. After all this hustle and bustle and confusions finally the Zimbabwe cricket team landed in Lahore.
From the moment they landed the celebrations in the whole country started and each and every Pakistan welcomed them on their faces and those not present had remember them in their heats.
Zimbabwe may lost all the games but they won the hearts of millions of Pakistanis. They were given the stature of a national guest and the way the Pakistanis honored them was something really very emotional.
