Citizens of Karachi! Congratulations to you to that extortion, terrorism, Targeted-killing and darkness of your city have been replaced with lights, colours, games and peace in the city. This is the difference between Pakistan of 2013 and 2018

The PCB chief Najam Sethi counted and praised the efforts that brought international cricket back to Karachi after nine years.

 Proving to the world that Karachi was a safe city was our biggest challenge. Every organ of the state has worked day and night to bring the game back. The players were more ready to come to Pakistan. There was a scare earlier, but we're over it. Next year, we're hoping half of PSL will be played in three-four-five stadiums in Pakistan.
