Much of Modern day Pakistan wasn't really even considered India...They never promoted Zoroastrianism. If they were aggressive in promoting religion, Sumerian religion, Greek Religion and Judaism would be extinct. Same time NWFP and Balochistan were inhabited by Indo-Aryan speakers. Baloch and Pashtun people are recent migrants there. Baloch came from Kurdistan area and Pashtuns expanded with Ghazni raids displacing Dardic people. I dont deny perhaps some Zoroastrians were there, but it was never widespread. Alexander did not find Zoroastrianism in India.
Greeks had different names for regions - Gedrosia and Arachosia were Zoroastrian.
Gedrosia made up today's Balochistan while Arachosia made up KPK, North Pakistan and parts of Afghanistan.
