Foreword by Hanif Mohammad

Cornered Tigers is a comprehensive history of Pakistani Test Cricket, chronicling the development of the Test team from its inauguration in 1952 – just five years after Independence – to [1996].
A collection of the country’s most prominent and influential players are profiled for the first time in one book, from Abdul Hafeez Kardar, the first captain, through to the stars of the [1990s] including Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis and Inzamam-ul-Haq. In between there have been some of the world’s greatest Test cricketers such as Hanif Mohammad, Fazal Mahmood, Imran Khan and Javed Miandad.
This in-depth publication also looks at domestic and one-day cricket, considers candidly the various controversies surrounding Pakistan’s cricket and speculates on what the future holds for this cricket-loving nation.
Meticulously researched, with assistance from former Test player Wasim Raja, Cornered Tigers includes a complete record of all Pakistan’s Tests from 1952/3 to 1996.
