Dear Readers,
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP. While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors

I just read that Shoaib Akhtar hit Mohd. Asif with a bat in the locker room and is likely to face penalties from PCB.
The last two years have been like the Twilight Zone in Pakistani cricket. You can’t make this stuff up if you wanted to. What a waste of talent !
Such has been the case with every almost every Pakistani; may it be Dr. Abdus Salaam (resting all controversies aside), Javed Miandad, Shahbaz Senior (Hockey), Rahmat Khan (Squash), Z.A. Bhutto…
Our history is not that good when handling the outstanding ones amngst ourselves.
Dr. Nasim Ashraf could try opening himself with Shafqat Naghmi (the newly appointed senior manager in PCB) when South Africa. Our good old Saleem Altaf could play one-down and Zakir Khan at number 4… the last two deserve a few matches after years of experience in development of cricket in Pakistan :)
Aug 20, 2007 news. Quite a few headlines.
* Inzamam joins Indian Cricket League
* Imran Farhat join ICL calling it a protest against exclusion from National Team
* Abdur Razzak announces retirement from Cricket as protest on his exclusion from National Team
This has to do with “enlighten moderation”, a pakistan team consisiting of all neat clean shaven men. Beard is bad for the country and tied with American Aid.
All players have their ups and downs, including yousuf and Razaq. But leaving out a player like yusuf will be like leaving out a genius batsman like saeed anwar whose (along with many other players) career got finished way too early due to usual politics. Yusuf is simply too talented.
