with the Security Situaton gradually improving as a result of Talks with Talibs/Big3-Effects we might start hosting at least the likes of Bangladesh, Ireland, Zim etc sooner than we expect (In fact there's a good reason to expect that things will start to go more and more in our favor with every passing day from now on especially with the indifference,lack of interest and finally the exit of US from Afghanistan)
What do you think will happen once international cricket returns to Pak?
80 dropped catches, countless misfields in effectively each game and plenty of simple runouts missed; is this the one of the worst tournaments in terms of fielding standards ?

India was on a good score after 15.5 of 111/2, that means all set to score around 150-160. And that was because of a superb innings from Kohli. Yuvraj was at 7 from 12 balls then.
Now the last 25 balls is where India lost the match completely by scoring just 19 runs, in those 25 balls:
Yuvraj made 4 from 9 balls
Dhoni 4 not out from 7 balls
Kohli 7 from 9 balls
There was no boundary from anyone, even the well set Kohli.
Even if I admit, Yuvraj is by a big distance the main hero (culprit from Indian point of view), I think all three batsmen should be equally blamed for these last 25 balls that won Sri Lanka the match.
Since few of the IPL matches are being played in the UAE and the local community have shown great interest and enthusiasm by buying the tickets from the word go.
I was thinking if a similar league by the PCB (PPL or PCL) be a hit or as successful if based in the UAE as Pakistan wouldnt attract top cricketers ?
In Asia Cup, the cricket was exciting to watch as most games had close finishes. In this tournament what would be your most exciting match and most thrilling match? For me, the WI v Australia game was most exciting due to the way WI celebrating and the rivalry between faulkner and WI but most thrilling had to be NZ SA
