FOREWORD
When I heard the verdict of the spot-fixing case against the three Pakistani cricketers Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir I felt an intense sadness. A sadness borne of the realization that what had occurred particularly in the case of the 19-year-old Amir was an enormous waste of exceptional talent. Three careers had been cut short because corruption and dishonesty had eaten into the soul of Pakistan cricket. But as pointed out in this book, can we blame the three transgressors? Have they failed Pakistan? Or has Pakistan collectively failed them? What ails Pakistan cricket in specific terms ails Pakistan generally and across the board. Lack of accountability, corruption, dishonesty, a broken education system these are the issues that Pakistan as a nation faces.
