For the first time in 29 years, an ICC competition has returned to pakistan with the 2025 Champions Trophy beginning in Karachi. That's nearly thirty years. cricket in pakistan was outlawed for a long time after the 2009 Lahore terror bombings, which claimed lives and injured several Sri Lankan cricket players. As the Men in Green established dubai and Abu Dhabi as their home away from home, pakistan had to wait six years before cricket made a comeback in any form, until zimbabwe eventually came to the nation for a limited-overs series.
The restoration of parity took a long time. The remaining six teams are in pakistan to compete for ICC glory, despite India's objections. After playing in the just-finished tri-series and currently competing in the Champions Trophy, even new zealand, who canceled their visit in the middle of 2021 owing to security concerns, has been in pakistan for some time. But despite all the security measures put in place, the wounds from the past still exist. The new zealand openers and the people of Karachi were taken aback by a thunderous boom produced by fighter planes shortly after pakistan captain Muhammad Rizwan won the toss and chose to bowl.
Devon Conway ducked for shelter before he realized what was causing the excessive decibel levels as the Pakistani fighter planes sailed over the stadium. A portion of the audience was clearly frightened when the camera panned in on the fans; some were clutching their chests, while others were hiding their ears. According to a pundit on hindi broadcasting duty, "The loud noise of the jets scared them all."
