The Sri Lanka cricket team return to Pakistan, ten years later the attack on their team bus, carriers significant beyond the result of the 2 Test series. This time, Test cricket is back in the Pakistan, at last, bringing the curtain down on an exile that start when Sri Lanka were targeted by a terror attack midway through a Test match. 10 years and 9 months on, Sri Lanka return to complete the Test series what had been left uncompleted.
