Pakistan batsman Babar Azam was overjoyed after his team’s Test series win against Sri Lanka on home soil.

Pakistan celebrated Test cricket's return to the country after a decade with an emotional 1-0 series victory on Monday after teenager Naseem Shah bowled them to a 263-run win in the second and final match in Karachi.

A lot of coaxing and cajoling went behind organising the series, which marked Pakistan's first Tests on home soil since the 2009 militant attack on Sri Lanka's team bus in Lahore.

Taking to Twitter after the match, Babar showcased his happiness over the recent turn of events.

Pakistan thanked Sri Lankan Monday for helping them bring Test cricket back to the country for the first time since the 2009 attack on the same visitors led to international matches being suspended.

Pakistan's players went to the Sri Lanka dressing room to thank them soon after the home team posted a convincing win in Karachi.
