MIRANSHAH, Pakistan: Thousands of cricket fans cheered on their favorite stars and waved signs proclaiming: 鈥淲e want peace鈥� at an international T20 match Thursday in the former Taliban stronghold of Miranshah, as authorities proudly showcased the area as free of militants.
The match between the Pakistan XI and a visiting UK eleven in the country鈥檚 restive tribal belt comes weeks after US President Donald Trump blasted Islamabad publicly, accusing the ally of supporting militant safe havens in the region.
Stretched along the Afghan border, North Waziristan鈥檚 Miranshah was once a de facto Taliban state that hosted foreign jihadists including leading figures from Al-Qaeda and served as a launching pad for attacks into Afghanistan.
But in 2014 the Pakistan army launched a clearance operation in the tribal district to wipe out militant bases and bring an end to a bloody insurgency that has cost thousands of lives since 2004 and strained ties with Washington.
Leading Pakistani cricketers Shahid Afridi and former captain Inzamam-ul-Haq took to the lush pitch to the roaring approval of more than 20,000 fans in attendance, who had been massing since early in the morning for the rare chance to see international cricket live.
鈥淚t feels like I鈥檓 in Qaddafi stadium in Lahore or in Islamabad today. It doesn鈥檛 feel like the old Miranshah infested by the militants,鈥� said Fahimullah, a 31-year-old school teacher.
Batting first, Pakistan scored 254 runs while the UK batsmen could only reach 151 for seven wickets in the allotted 20 overs.
Pakistan鈥檚 former captain Inzamam and the immensely popular Afridi hit some towering sixes and brisk boundaries leading their team to victory by 103 runs against the British side.
鈥淚 have not seen such a big match here before today,鈥� said ninth grader Faizan Khan.
鈥淲e could not go out earlier because of Taliban. The situation was very bad then, but now they have disappeared, I don鈥檛 know where have they gone.鈥�
