I have really enjoyed blogging about my experiences in Pakistan. These are memories I will cherish for a long time. I have blogged the past two Fridays and look forward to doing so until I leave. Check out the first blog here and my second installment here. Security: Interestingly, the question I get asked most [...]
Taking time off cricket commentary over the festive season to spend with my children was probably my favorite career move of 2019.
