Sultan is the official biography of Wasim Akram, the "sultan of
swing", one of the greatest fast bowlers in the history of cricket.
For twenty years, Wasim Akram let his cricket do the talking - his
electrifying left-arm pace, his explosive left-handed striking, his
leadership and his inspiration. For another twenty years he kept
his own counsel about those days, full of drama, controversy and
even mystery, in a country, Pakistan, that to outsiders is a
constant enigma. Until now. Sultan tells the story of cricket's
greatest left-arm bowler, and one of its greatest survivors, who
was chosen from the streets of Lahore and groomed by Imran Khan to
become champion of the world - man of the match in the final of the
1992 World Cup. Along the way were unforgettable rivalries with the
greatest of his time, from Viv Richards and Ian Botham to Sachin
Tendulkar and Shane Warne. Along the way, too, a backdrop of
conspiracy and intrigue over ball tampering and match fixing about
which Wasim finally sets the story straight. But there's more:
Sultan goes frankly into the crumbling and rebuilding of Wasim's
private life, marred by the tragedy of his first wife's death and
the torment of addiction. The result is an unprecedented insight
into the life of a cricketer who revolutionised the game with his
speed and swing, and a patriot buoyed and burdened by the
expectation of one of the game's most fanatical publics.
