Six members of the Sri Lanka national cricket team were wounded and six Pakistani policemen and two civilians were killed. Resource
Australian cricket team cancels Pakistan tour:
Cricket Australia postponed its cricket tour to Pakistan just hours after two bombs killed at least 15 people and injured many more in the eastern city of Lahore.
The tour, which had been scheduled to start March 29, had been in jeopardy due to security concerns expressed by Australian players and officials amid a wave of violence that swirled around the Feb. 18 elections in Pakistan.
"We are very sorry that the tour could not take place at this time," Cricket Australia chairman Creagh O'Connor told a news conference in Melbourne on Tuesday, ending weeks of speculation. "This was a difficult decision based on independent review of the circumstances prevailing in Pakistan at the moment.
"We wish no loss to Pakistan Cricket Board and look forward to undertaking this tour in the near future."

After 24 Years:
After a long time, after a lot of efforts of Pakistan, terrorism in Pakistan has ended and now after 24 years, the Australian team has come to Pakistan.
During the match, the stadium crowd increases so much that it does not look like it is a TEST match or T20.
That is why Pakistani cricket fans are giving a historic welcome to Australia.
