ISLAMABAD: India's first full cricket tour of Pakistan in 14 years concluded with a humbling defeat for the home side. But the scoreboard was not the place to see results of the landmark five-week series – which helped ease tensions between the historic enemies and underscored both peoples' thirst for peace after decades of war.
Pakistanis and Indians alike have hailed the tour, which ended on Friday, as a boost to bilateral relations that have improved drastically since the two nuclear-armed nations nearly clashed over Kashmir in 2002.
