History of Pakistan Test Cricket

The compiler of this monumental volume on Pakistan's Test Cricket has rendered an invaluable service to join other leading countries in the game with their histories on record. His authentic and authoritative work, thoroughly researched, is the outcome of a life-time devoted to sports jounalism. As conscientious and competent editor and stickler for exactitude as well as ethics he has avoided scandal-mongering which is unfortunately assuming dangerous proportions in such writings to earn cheap publicity. His puritan attitude and approach has turned out to be costly for him since he refused offers of lucrative advertisements to keep his reputation above reproach. The considerable personal investment from an honest bread-earner deserves to be repaid in terms of patronage from firm beleivers in the pride of profession and established conventions of the calling.
