Mirages of the Mind
Mushtaq Ahmed Yousufi’s last published work Mirages of the Mind traces an arc of nostalgia between Pakistan and India. Its main characters—Indian Muslim immigrants to Pakistan—reminisce about and long for an impossible return to their pre-Partition life in India. The book’s lightly fictionalized anecdotes, both humorous and poignantly sad, form a treasure trove of the arcana and subtle differences of twentieth-century Muslim life in the subcontinent. A cultural memoir, multi-layered biography, and anecdotal chain, Mirages of the Mind chronicles a milieu that has all but disappeared. Its narratives portray the hardships, heartbreak, and humour of colonial north-Indian Muslim life and ...
Twenty20 Vision
Mushtaq Ahmed made his Test debut for Pakistan in 1989 and was largely responsible for reviving the art of leg spin.

This book presents the story of a great sportsman who almost lost it all.
The Best of Bevan
Michael Bevan has been responsible for the some of the most remarkable and exciting performances in the history of one-day cricket. His uncanny knack to work the ball into the narrowest gaps, his quick and aggressive running, and his ability to stay calm and focused in a crisis have seen him dubbed the world's finest limited-overs batsman. In The Best of Bevan, Michael writes about the 30 matches he considers the most memorable of his career. Not all are one-day games, a few even ended in defeat, but each says something about the way he thinks the game should be played, how he approaches the art of batting and how he deals with the highs and lows of playing international cricket. For much of his career, Michael has been content to let his performances speak for him. Now, in this thought-provoking, wide-ranging book, he answers his critics, reveals what motivates him to succeed at the highest level and explains why he and his famous teammates have enjoyed so much success in recent times.

This book tells the story of his long naval career which was full of adventures, ...

Spell-binding Spells
Spell-binding Spells is a book for everyone who loves cricket. It is about stunning spells—those few overs that occur rarely in cricket, when bowlers weave magic and batsmen are mesmerized. What did the stunning bowling spells of Anil Kumble, Narendra Hirwani, Ravichandran Ashwin, Padmakar Shivalkar, and Yuzvendra Chahal achieve that Kapil Dev’s career best spell could not? Curtly Ambrose and Sarfraz Nawaz, 14-years apart, bowled identical deadly spells against the same opposition taking 7 wickets for 1 run. Who were the hapless victims?
