Improvement of cricket infrastructure?
Rise of Club cricket?
Inspiration from players like Umar Gul
Junaid Khan

I believe it all started after Shahid Afridi. He has been the icon of cricket in KP and responsible for a whole new generation of talent coming from KP.

The later, Likewise, Majid Khan, the cousin of Imran Khan, was also a pushtun and one of the best batsmen in the world but was also born and raised in Lahore. The real persona to Pushtun Cricket was brought by Shahid Afridi who was the one born and raised in FATA (Although he later moved to Karachi).
