Cricket holds a special place in the affections of South Asian immigrants to England. It binds British Asians to their countries of origin, defines them, and offers them hope. Why is cricket such a powerful force in the lives of British Asians? Doctor, journalist, and editor Kamran Abbasi, born in Lahore and brought up in Rotherham, relives his early cricketing years in Yorkshire when Pakistan cricket helped shut out the racism and exclusion that British Asians experienced. He charts the evolution of British Asians and their breakthroughs to represent Yorkshire and England. Above all, he tells the story of fifty years of rise, fall, and renaissance in the turbulent history of Pakistan cricket through the eyes of an immigrant in England, focusing on Pakistan's major rivalries with India and England as well as international tournaments and the many controversies that engulfed Pakistan cricket. Since the 1990s, Kamran Abbasi has covered the triumphs and disasters of Pakistan cricket as they happened for ESPNCricinfo in his popular Pak Spin blog, Wisden Cricket Monthly, Dawn and other leading publications. He weaves those writings together to unravel one of the greatest enigmas in world sport: how do you make sense of the enthralling but unfathomable world of Pakistan cricket? The answers are here, in Englistan.
