Imran Khan: the Cricketer, the Celebrity, the Politician
Christopher Sandford Imran Khan: The Cricketer, The Celebrity, The Politician Аннотация The definitive biography of Imran Khan, the former Pakistan cricket captain and all-rounder – the Oxbridge graduate and vociferous campaigner; the devout Muslim whose kaleidoscopic social life flooded the gossip columns; the man who raised $60 million for cancer research and who is now one of the most important political figures in Pakistan.On one thing, Imran Khan’s friends and enemies agree: it all began with the leopard print satin trousers. In November 1974, the Cricketer International published an article about the new elite group of young talented players, ‘into concepts like fashion and pop music’, and bent on challenging cricket’s eternal stereotypes. Of the five featured stars on the cover, a superbly hirsute 21-year-old wearing a tight black shirt and gaudy trousers, with a facial expression of supreme self-confidence, stood out.Imran Khan has always been a controversial figure, a man who gives rise to hot debate on account of his strong conviction and hard line views. From his achievements on the cricket field as the Pakistan captain who captured the World Cup and the game’s best all-rounder in history, through to his racy social life – the practising Muslim boogieing on the dancefloor of Annabel’s, ‘an astonishing lovemaker’, according to one overnight partner, praised by Diana Princess of Wales, close friend to his then wife Jemima Goldsmith, as a ‘devoted husband’ – the Imran story is full of colour and contradictions.Acclaimed biographer Christopher Sandford has approached a richly varied cast list of Imran associates past and present – from Geoff Boycott, Javed Miandad, Mike Brearley, David Gower and John Major through to Nelson Mandela and close acquaintances male and female such as Eric Clapton, Mick Jagger, John Major, Keith Richards, sources close to the late Princess of Wales and Pakistan’s General Musharraf.

November-December
PCB Highlights 1 November – 31 December 3rd Edition PCB brings Test cricket back to Pakistan The purist and most traditional format of the gentleman’s game returned to Pakistan after more than 10 years when Sri Lanka played the ICC World Test Championship fixtures in Rawalpindi and Karachi in December. For this team to put the March 2009 tragedy behind it and return twice in a space of three months was a strong and powerful statement to the world about their confidence and trust in Pakistan’s security agencies and the support to the Pakistan Cricket Board in its efforts and endeavours for the complete and uninterrupted restoration of international cricket in the country. The Sri Lanka cricket team was excellent – both on and off the field – and returned home not only after making more friends and followers than ever, but also after proving to be outstanding ambassadors of their country. They were gracious in defeat and generous in praising the hospitality and security offered to them during their Test tour. “Now I do regret not coming for the shorter formats. At that time it was a really hard decision to take because I had heard and read lots of things about Pakistan on news and social media - not positive things. But the guys who came here before gave really good comments and that’s why all the seniors decided to go and play a good Test series. Now I think I should have come and played the one-dayers,” Sri Lanka skipper Dimuth Karunaratne said. “I can say that for me it feels really safe.

ETH Zurich) presented by SOUVIK NAHA M.Phil., Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi Born April 4, 1987 Citizen of India accepted on the recommendation of Prof. Dr. Harald Fischer-Tiné Prof. Dr. Christian Koller Prof. Dr. Projit Bihari Mukharji 2016 Abstract This thesis explores a network of mediated relationships, constituted by the mass media, readers, and spectators, to uncover various strands of the public’s mobilisation as cricket consumers in Calcutta from 1934 to 1999. It argues that mediatisation and mediation of cricket have played more significant a part in the circulation of cricket than historians have accorded to it. It studies the role of literature, news reports and radio broadcasts, which have transmitted cricket for a long period, as agents of producing a history of the sporting public. The framework of culture in this thesis is formulated on media texts which, far from being confined to objective treatment of cricket, evoked canons, provided the sport with a sense of tradition, and determined the protocols of its appropriation.
