This is the first time that Sri Lanka will be coming to Lahore after the horrifying March 3, 2009 attack. Militants had opened fire on the Sri Lankan cricket team bus, wounding several players. Ever since then, international cricket was not played in Pakistan for several years. However, Zimbabwe's national cricket team toured Pakistan in May 2015. The Pakistan Super League 2016 edition's final was played in Lahore earlier this year. A series between Pakistan and World XI was also held last month, leading to the revival of international cricket in the country once again.
