Very true. Cricket is not really disliked, in fact we watch it with a lot of interest. Pakistan vs India are always watched with great excitement. People are generally more proactive and prefer football as it is more challenging.
We have a great Football ground by the river in Yasin, shame i don't have any pictures to post here. I have played Cricket in Hunza, there is a polo ground close to the Baltit fort, right under it, we play Cricket over there. And you don't want to be hitting a shot on the on-side. You should see how kids recover a ball, they are basically flying down the hills, lol.
PS: there are no such things as rules and a referee in Football. Every district has teams in Gilgit, one of my cousin is in the A team of Ghizer. Man he is proud of it. Tournaments are occasionally held.
@Kaptaan ...

This is it, this is the polo ground.

Cricket is in blood of every Pakistani, our government should take some effective steps specially in remote area of the country to polish hidden talent!

When are you going to PCB organised camps?

Any plan for pursuing cricket seriously? Or just for fun
