Today at 1 p.m. ET, Pakistan and Zimbabwe clash in cricket action live at Lahore as the clubs prepare to go head-to-head in T20 Internationals and three One-Day Internationals (ODIs).
It's a historical moment as Pakistan hosts an international match for the first time since 2009.
This game can be live streamed for free here.
Here are the squads for each team as they prepare to battle it out today.
Pakistan: Shahid Afridi (c), Mukhtar Ahmed, Ahmed Shehzad, Umar Akmal, Mohammad Hafeez, Sarfaraz Khan (wk), Shoaib Malik, Mohammad Sami, Bilawal Bhatti, Anwar Ali, Nauman Anwar, Hammad Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, Wahab Riaz, Imad Wasim.
Zimbabwe: Elton Chigumbura (c), Vusi Sibanda, Hamilton Masakadza, Sikandar Raza, Sean Williams, Craig Ervine, Richmond Mutumbami (wk), Prosper Utseya, Tawanda Mupariwa, Christopher Mpofu, Tinashe Panyangara, Graeme Cremer, Brian Vitori, Chamu Chibhabha, Charles Coventry, Roy Kaia.
It'll be a very huge day for Pakistan when it hosts an international game, but Zimbabwe is a force to be reckoned with and while they aren't as strong as the Bangladesh team that recently whitewashed Pakistan, they still pose a challenge heading into this match.
Shahid Afridi leads his team back home and has been a part of the sport since 1996 as he soaks up this big moment.
Akmal will be looking to improve after being upset with his World Cup performance.
"My form was fine, I was hitting the ball well and out of the middle of the bat, but I guess it was down to bad luck," Akmal told PakPassion.net. "Grant Flower and Shahid Aslam had really made me feel confident, my preparation went well ahead of the tournament and I was feeling good at the crease during the tournament, striking the ball well, but I just kept on picking out the fielders."
International play returns to Pakistan when it hosts Zimbabwe today.
