Pakistan's most dangerous cricket field makes for some beautiful scenes

With news of cricket returning to Pakistan because of the World XI tour of the country that begins tomorrow, hopes for the revival of cricket may actually find fruition and you may credit a lot of it for the people’s love for the game that is not fading away anytime soon. Despite the fact that the people were starved of International cricket for nearly a decade after the terrorist attack that affected various Sri Lankan players in 2009, and as a result ruling out International cricket because of the security concern, their faith in its restoration hardly dwindled.

Their hopes found reality when their passion translated into a successful Pakistan Super League final being held in Lahore, and it started to materialize especially when the almost written-off side went on to cross one hurdle after the other and defeating sub-continental rivals India in a nearly one-sided final during the Champions Trophy.

What made the win even more special for the Green Army was the fact that their young guns had shown potential, talent and passion against a relatively experienced side after being defeated in a humiliating fashion in their encounter in the group-stage.

As it is obvious now that the people of the nation appreciate their players, who in turn want to return the favour by playing quality cricket and bringing more laurels. Their passion is ignited by its people who share the same beliefs about the game. And it is not surprising that they find joy in playing the game with whatever little they have.

The adventure of playing in the dangerous valleys

You can figure that out in a video that surfaced on Twitter, you see that the cricket lovers don’t need proper stadiums or grounds to play their beloved game. They are all happy with whatever resources they can find. We have seen street cricket at its best in the urban centres of the country, but the passion for the game also runs deep in the mountains of Pakistan northern areas, where cricketers create their own pitch on dangerous slopes. One can see them playing cricket in the valleys of Abbottabad, in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa which make up some beautiful scenes for everyone who loves cricket.
