Wounded tiger : a history of cricket in Pakistan
Oborne, Peter2015
Book
For 20 years, Pakistan cricket has been stained by the scandalous behaviour of the players involved in match fixing. Since 2009, the fear of violence has driven Pakistan's international cricket into exile. No one knows when it will return home. But Peter Oborne's narrative is also full of hope. For all its troubles, cricket gives all Pakistanis a chance to excel and express themselves, a sense of identity and a cause for pride in their country.
