<P> Pakistan became a permanent member of the International Cricket Council in 1948, and their tour of India was their first in Test cricket history . They lost the first Test in Delhi to India, but won the second Test in Lucknow, which led to an angry reaction from the home crowd against the Indian players . India clinched the Test series after winning the third Test in Bombay, but the intense pressure affected the players of both teams to the point that they pursued mainly defensive tactics that led to drawn matches and whole series without a victor . When India toured Pakistan in 1955, thousands of Indian fans were granted visas to go to the Pakistani city of Lahore to watch the Test match . But both the 1955 series and Pakistan's tour of India in 1961 ended in a drawn series with no Test yielding a winner or loser . Complaints about the fairness of umpires also became routine . </P> <P> The Indo - Pakistani War of 1965 and subsequent War of 1971 put hold on India - Pakistan cricket that lasted till 1978, when India toured Pakistan and cricket resumed for a brief period . In the post-1971 period, politics became a direct factor in the holding of cricketing events . India has suspended cricketing ties with Pakistan several times following terrorist attacks or other hostilities . The resumption of cricketing ties in 1978 came with the emergence of heads of government in both India and Pakistan who were not directly connected with the 1971 war and coincided with their formal initiatives to normalize bilateral relations . Shortly after a period of belligerency during the Operation Brasstacks war games, Pakistani president Zia - ul - Haq was invited to watch the India - Pakistan test match being played in the Indian city of Jaipur . This form of cricket diplomacy has occurred several times afterwards as well . Pakistan toured India in 1979, but an Indian tour of Pakistan in 1984 was cancelled mid-way due to the assassination of Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi . </P> <P> In the late 1980s and for most of the 1990s, India and Pakistan squared - off on neutral venues such as Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates and in Toronto, Canada, where large audiences of expatriates regularly watched them play . The series between the teams in Canada in the 1990s and early 2000s were officially known as the "Friendship Cup". Sharjah even though a neutral venue was considered as the "back yard of Pakistan" given the close proximity and the massive support the team generated . </P> <P> The rise of multinational competitions such as the Cricket World Cup, ICC World Twenty20, ICC Champions Trophy, the Austral - Asia Cup and the Asia Cup led to more regular albeit briefer contests . </P>
