For the Pakhtuns, known for their tough, battle-hardened nature, defeat is unacceptable. They may not be as well known in cricketing circles like the Barmy Army fans of England or India's Swami Army but watch the game out of a passion for the sport and for the love of Pakistan.

It is so heartwarming to watch these patriotic tribal Pukhtuns celebrate every event with so much energy and enthusiasm. It's about time Pakistan government take concrete steps for uplifting tribal areas. God bless Pakistan.
