Pakistan captain Mohammad Rizwan on Tuesday urged his side to show the same resilience in the Champions Trophy which they had shown during the 10-year period when no international side toured the country. No top team in international cricket had toured Pakistan following the terrorist attacks on the Sri Lankan team in March 2009 until the start of this decade when top teams such as Australia, England and New Zealand resumed visiting their Asian opponent.
