Back From Exile, Pakistan's Cricket Push Lures Advertisers
- Pakistan Super League final in Lahore may usher in more games
- Cricket matches held at home will encourage investors: Habib
After waiting four hours to get tickets and negotiating tight security around Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium, Cyrus Raza Tahir finally made it into the packed stands to watch a rare game of cricket with international players on Pakistani soil.
So great was their desire to watch the March 5 final of the Pakistan Super League, the fast-paced T20 version of the game played in the United Arab Emirates for security reasons, Tahir put aside concerns after Lahore was hit by two explosions last month. Fans were carted into the 25,000-capacity redbrick stadium by special buses as thousands of police were deployed.
