## Description

Controversially Yours: An Autobiography [Shoaib Akhtar] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Controversially Yours: An Autobiography

Review: Truly controversial - Enjoyed reading it. Light and fast paced like Mr. Akhtar's bowling. Certain parts relating to the hardships, struggle and determination, can be very inspiring reading, not only for youngsters but also others who experience challenges in their day to day work. With all the time lost from being banned from play, there was a lot of talent wasted and more. It has a lot of practical work place lessons to be learned but one has to analyze each situation and apply it in your own context. The section relating to retired cricketers is very humbling and I am sure it holds true for a lot of cricketers from other countries as well as other professions. I will leave the controversial parts for individual readers to judge for themselves. I am sure I will read some parts, if not the whole book, again.
Review: Fine insight into the challenges faced by young cricketers in Pakistan - This book is a fine read to get an insight into the challenges faced by young Pakistan players, and how much politics is going on.

Amazing collection of his endeavours. Very candid and very interesting. Compared to India where cricket is worshipped, it's a completely different scene in Pakistan
