![]() “My only regret remains being unable to play the second half of my international cricket in front of home fans, though despite this my supporters continued to follow and support me whenever and wherever I represented Pakistan. With God’s will, I achieved what most can only dream across the span of my professional playing career. I feel blessed to have played for my country, Pakistan. “Highs and lows are all part and parcel of a typical career, whether in cricket or otherwise. Collectively, everybody along my journey shaped me and instilled within me the tenacity and drive. “Success is something that should not be attributed to just an individual, for there are many stakeholders who have helped me in my journey, and to whom I am indebted: my family, team-mates, captains and support staff, and all those who provided me with the opportunity to serve my country and team with respect and dignity. I, thus, feel it a matter of immense pride and honour for my name to be amongst those legends, having given my all to make my country proud," he said. There are many notable names amongst the list inducted prior to me, whose performances have been outstanding. “I feel honoured and humbled to have been inducted into the PCB Hall of Fame by the Pakistan Cricket Board. Meanwhile, Younis, Pakistan's all-time leading run-scorer in Test cricket, said he was humbled by the recognition from the PCB. “The Kardar family is profoundly touched and gratified at the recognition of the contributions of their patriarch with his inclusion in the Hall of Fame by the Pakistan Cricket Board.” ![]() He lit the flame that set the country ablaze, converting just another pastime sport into a rage," Shahid said. “This is a richly deserved tribute to a natural skipper whose inspirational leadership, imprint of character, tactical brilliance and sheer grit put Pakistan on the world cricket map by evolving a bunch of club level cricketers into a team that achieved laurels beyond its perceived potential. Shahid Kardar, AH Kardar’s son, said the family is touched by the recognition from the PCB. “The two gentlemen will always remain shining stars of Pakistan cricket and idols for the future generations.” “AH Kardar gave us a cricket dream, vision and mission in our formation years, and Younis Khan was one of the players who gave his absolute best in fulfilling those expectations through exemplary hard work, deep commitment and untiring performances against all opposition and across all formats. “The PCB Hall of Fame is designed to acknowledge, recognise and cherish the sacrifices, contributions and achievements of the role models in our sport and it is befitting that in our diamond jubilee celebrations, we induct two stalwarts from two completely different generations and eras of our proud cricket history," PCB Chairman Ramiz Raja said. Good purchase and very share-able to literary friends and pun lovers.Kardar (posthumously) and Younis were inducted following a transparent voting process, which was participated by Javed Miandad, Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis (all former Pakistan men’s captains and PCB Hall of Famers), Sana Mir, Urooj Mumtaz (both former Pakistan women’s captains), Aaliya Rasheed, Dr Nauman Niaz, Rasheed Shakoor, Qamar Ahmed and Waheed Khan (all respected print and broadcast journalists). The characters talk like normal people and aren’t stilted in any way.ĭefinitely a fun and quick read – constantly entertaining. There’s nothing else in the book that gave me pause. I love the way the book ends and definitely enjoyed it enough to read cover to cover.Ĭons: Seeing Jesus and Jesus Christ used as expletives is tough for me because the name is sacred. The book is fun and tasty but it was crafted by a writer who knows what he’s doing. The tone is smooth and consistent throughout – also very hard to accomplish. Pros: The bouquet of quips brings out the literary dork in us all and the dialog is extremely well written, which is quite hard for writers to master. just really cracked me up, no pun intended. The humor starts as early as the dedication page and continues through the book. Typo Squad is an easy read any one can enjoy – seriously. Reviewed in the United States □□ on 17 August 2017
