Pakistan hasn’t been getting international cricket for the past few years. For a country when cricket is an obsession, such a development was a hard blow. In May, this year things looked up for Pakistani cricket as the PSL final was played in Lahore with much pomp and celebration. Many wondered what the future of cricket in Pakistan was post-PSL.
Najam Sethi has put all the doubts and questions about international cricket in Pakistan to rest with an announcement earlier today that West Indies will tour Pakistan in November
