RAWALPINDI - Pakistan’s captain Azhar Ali thanked Sri Lanka Tuesday for returning to Pakistan for the first Test tour there in a decade, after a fatal militant attack on their team in 2009 drove international cricket away.“It’s a historic occasion and all the players are excited to be part of this,” Azhar, who has played 75 Tests -- but, until now, none at home -- said at a press conference in Rawalpindi with his counterpart, Dimuth Karunaratne.
