Shahid Afridi has claimed he can bring international cricket back to Pakistan after discussing the possibilities with a number of high profile cricketers.

Pakistan has not seen any international since Sri Lanka's infamous tour in 2009 when the team bus was attacked in Lahore leaving eight people dead and numerous injured including some of the Sri Lankan players.

Former skipper Afridi now believes the dust has settled and it is time to bring the game back to the people.

"All of us have to make efforts to bring international cricket back to Pakistan," Afridi said.

The talented all-rounder added that he has already talked to a number of international players including New Zealand pair Jacob Oram and Daniel Vettori as well as former West Indies skipper Chris Gayle.

"Most of them have expressed great interest in the event and in playing in Pakistan so I am seriously planning to organise the event, which can allay players' fears on Pakistan," added Afridi.
