Pakistan cricket team launch Fast4Swat campaign
Pakistan cricket star batsman, Shahid Afridi at the launch of Fast4swat.
A campaign aiming to raise awareness and much needed funds for the 2 million people displaced in Pakistans Swat Valley has been launched by the Pakistan cricket team.
The winners of the Twenty20 World Cup joined campaigners from Bradford to launch Fast4Swat at Trent Bridge ahead of the team's match against South Africa.
All-rounder Shahid Afridi said: "The Fast4swat campaign is a fantastic initiative.
"Not only does it raise awareness for the people of Swat but also the much needed funds urgently needed, I hope everyone will get behind this brilliant idea."
Fast4Swat organiser Anjum Tahirkheli said: "The terrible crisis in northern Pakistan and the millions of uprooted people need help urgently.
"Our campaign and the Welcome to Fast 4 Swat web site are a way for concerned Britons to help ease the worst effects of the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Pakistan."
The UN refugee agency (UNHCR) has been selected by the organisers as the main beneficiary of the Fast4Swat campaign, which aims to help boost supplies for the desperate people uprooted by the recent fighting in northern Pakistan.
"UNHCR is on the ground in northern Pakistan, working through its vast network of staff and carefully selected partner agencies to help people affected by the humanitarian crisis," said Tahirkheli.
"We wanted to work with an agency with grassroots access and sound principles."
Participants in the Fast4Swat campaign may choose to give up some food or another item for a day said organisers.
This could be fasting or not eating chocolate, not playing computer games or giving up coffee, for example, or simply contributing to the humanitarian effort by channelling funds to UNHCR's relief operation.

Aamer should gain some weight to do better: Akram
NEW DELHI: Mohammad Aamer, Pakistan's find in the Twenty20 World Cup, has all the attributes of a good pacer but needs to put on some weight to
survive the rigour of international cricket, said former captain and bowling great Wasim Akram.
Thrust into the international stage in the Twenty20 World Cup, 17-year-old Aamer excelled as Pakistan's new ball bowler in the just-concluded tournament and Akram was proud that he was involved in spotting the young talent.
"Look out for this young man. I spotted him along with Mudassar Nazar and Aaqib Javed two years ago at a training camp. He played for Pakistan under-19 and now he is opening the attack. He is definitely promising," Akram said.
"For someone who can consistently bowl at 90 miles an hour, Aamer is definitely cut out for pace bowling. He is tall and need to put on some weight to gain extra power," Akram said.
Akram said the gangling Rawalpindi youngster can swing it more with the Kookaburra ball and felt Aamer's rise would be bad news for fellow pacer Sohail Tanvir.
"He (Aamer) will get more wickets with the Kookaburra ball. He has a natural outswinger. With a Kookaburra, he will get the ball to come in and that that will be even more deadly.
"Aamer has already replaced Sohail Tanvir in the line-up and if he can maintain his fitness, then Tanvir may not make the team again," he said.

Shame if Pak cricket is thrown into neglect
The torment was unmistakable in Younus Khan's appeal to the cricket world to come and play in Pakistan after the Twenty20 triumph.
This acquires an even more poignant dimension when you consider that Pakistan's three main players in this tournament -- the skipper himself, fast bowler Umar Gul and star all-rounder Shahid Afridi -- all hail from the North West Frontier where the terrorism-related problem is the most acute.
But while this fantastic victory spotlights the extraordinarily rich cricketing talent across the border, I can't see overseas teams making a beeline for Pakistan in a hurry. There are several major issues -- particularly after the attack on the Sri Lankan team earlier this year -- which have to be addressed by its government and people, and in which cricket plays only a minuscule part.
It would be a shame, of course, if Pakistan cricket is thrown into neglect and allowed to atrophy. Difficult as this may be, the ICC could revise its FTP itinerary to include more overseas tours by Pakistan till the situation in that country allows other teams to come there without fear. Matches on neutral venues may not be the best option to playing at home, but are better than nothing. The IPL should also allow a quick return of Pakistan players to the league.
But that's speculating the future in simplistic terms. For the moment, Pakistan's victory must be savoured for the panoramic sweep of its performances over the 16 days of the tournament and the emotional roller-coaster ride which took them from being outcasts to champions.
In batting and bowling, in terms of class and chutzpah, and for the sheer fact of winning the trophy, Younus Khan's team proved themselves not only the most enigmatic and entertaining, but also a cut above the rest.
That this format provides topsy-turvy results is by now well-known so Pakistan deserve even greater credit for consistency. Over two World Championships, teams from the sub-continent have proved themselves more adept at Twenty20 cricket, with Pakistan perhaps at the forefront having lost in the final in 2007 by a whisker and winning by many miles in 2009.
This tells us something of the talent that they possess, though this will hardly alleviate heartburn in teams like South Africa, Sri Lanka and especially India which were all rated much higher.
How this translated into their triumph is, of course, the more fascinating story. Pakistan, remember, were a team written off by most before the tournament began. The players had been short of international practice.
Younus Khan was a reluctant captain. There was bickering between the captain and chief selector (Abdul Qadir, who resigned mid-way through the tournament) over the choice of players. Several other players had expressed their desire to become captain, all of which which means that the Pakistan dressing room could not have been a very happy place to be in.
Some of this turmoil was reflected in the indifferent performances leading up to the Super Eights stage. The openers were struggling, the middle order was vulnerable, the bowling was patchy, the fielding was going to pieces and Afridi looked like a bad penny that had turned up again. Captain Younus Khan was in decent nick, but reduced to saying things like Twenty20 cricket was a bit of a joke.
What happened after Pakistan reached the Super Eights stage is, of course, a different story altogether. The inclusion of Abdul Razzak gave the team depth and balance in batting and bowling, Umar Gul suddenly became a devastating bowler, Afridi became a one-man demolition squad worth his weight in gold and Younus had turned from Hamlet into Alexander.
A triumph of superb talent and great team spirit or divine redemption for a country brought to ruination by terrorism? Who can argue against any of this. But all things considered, even in the new, new format, this remains a funny old game.
