The increase in terrorism as a result of the war on terror led to a stagnation of foreign teams touring Pakistan. Following the 2009 attack on the Sri Lanka national cricket team, no Test cricket was played in the country until 2019. Between 2009 and 2016, their home matches have been mostly held in the United Arab Emirates. However, due to a decrease in terrorism in Pakistan over the past few years, as well as an increase in security, many teams have toured Pakistan since 2015. These teams include Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka, West Indies, Bangladesh, South Africa, and an ICC World XI team; with England scheduled to tour in October 2021. In addition, the Pakistan Super League has seen games hosted in Pakistan.
