Description:

From down the Khyber Pass out of Afghanistan all the way to the theatrical events on the border with India, this book reveals a fascinating country of great diversity, off beat appeal and many assets, chief among them its people. You cannot write about Pakistan without writing about cricket. The two are intimately interlinked. It would be like going to England and pretending that football didn’t exist. A passion for cricket infuses much of this eventful journey through Pakistan, along with many other things: encounters involving guns, drugs and most lethal of all, dangerous cricket balls.
