With the Cricket World Cup 2011 in full swing, children are playing the game everywhere in Pakistan. I took this photo of a girl wielding a bat during a lunch break at one of the schools run by the International Rescue Committee in the Jalozai camp near the city of Peshawar. Almost 100,000 people, displaced by fighting between the Pakistani army and the Talban, are living in the camp.
