One of the great bowlers of his generation, Curtly Ambrose said that he was happy with the successful staging of Zimbabwe tour in Pakistan, and said he was hopeful about international cricket returning to the country on a regular basis.

Speaking at the launch of his book 'Curtly Ambrose - Time to Talk', the West Indian legend said that it was very sad that Pakistan has not been able to host international cricket for a number of years and had to play all of its cricket outside Pakistan, insisting that every team should be able to play cricket at home, Pak Passion reported.

 

Remembering the old times, Ambrose said it was always very enjoyable playing in Pakistan as the spectators turned in huge numbers and they enjoyed seeing the West Indies team and they were very sporting crowds who appreciated good cricket from both teams and supported both teams.

He also said that he had the pleasure of playing against some great Pakistan teams and brilliant Pakistani players like Imran Khan, Javed Miandad, Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis and Inzamam-ul-Haq and it was never easy playing against Pakistan especially in Pakistan.

Recently, Zimbabwe became the first international team to tour Pakistan since 2009, after terrorists attacked the Sri Lankan team, killing six people and leaving eight players injured.
