Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium is all set to witness history as the Green Shirts take on the World XI for a three-match T20 series starting Tuesday.

The World XI, starring cricket greats from seven different countries, arrived in Pakistan early Monday to a rousing welcome from the cricket-crazy nation, as the eight-year-long wait for high-profile cricket to return home finally ends this week.
