After Twenty Four Long Years the Flag of Australia has been Hoisted in Pakistan

The Australian cricket team has arrived in Pakistan for the first time in nearly a quarter century and into a security bubble that will surround them for the duration of their six-week stay.

After twenty-four years, the Australian flag has finally been raised in Pakistan.

Since a deadly terror attack on a visiting Sri Lankan team’s bus in 2009, Pakistan has struggled to lure international teams.

After a suicide bombing at a church in Lahore five years ago, Australia cancelled a tour.

They last visited Pakistan in 1998, where they won a three-match Test series 1-0 and blanked the hosts in three one-day internationals.

“They’ve landed,” a Pakistani security officer said, while Australia batsman Steve Smith announced the team’s arrival on Twitter with a photo.

Before departing on April 6, Australia will play three Tests, three one-day internationals, and one Twenty20 match.
