Deeply concerning to see Aleema Khan, sister of jailed former PM Imran Khan, arrested and detained for 30 days under the Maintenance of Public Order law — days before PTI’s planned Sept 27 protest.
I interviewed her in December about her brother’s imprisonment.
Watch ⬇️
Imran Khan’s sister Aleema breaks her silence to me about his treatment in prison — from restricted access to family and lawyers to fears for his health and safety. A rare, intimate glimpse inside the jail cell of Pakistan’s most popular — and most divisive — political figure. #ImranKhan #Pakistan

Give Harold Larwood a Lord’s portrait and end his scandalous treatment.
In the week Broad and Anderson are honoured at Lord's, it is time for MCC to give Larwood the recognition he deserves - a call along with @athersmike and @thetimes

MCC should recognise England hero Harold Larwood with Lord’s portrait. Along with @NHoultCricket I make the case for Larwood in the week that James Anderson and Stuart Broad will be, rightfully, honoured

Written a piece about this crazy time of the year, what it means to different cricketers, and how definitions of success in the game are changing rapidly #eldorado

An England v Australia Teat match in India? No. No. No and again no. Column in @TimesSport on ‘content’ and meaning in sport taking in the above, Mayo and Kerry, Test cricket in the Caribbean and the SunRisers team song thetimes.com/sport/cricket/a…
The TV host, theatre producer and the strange tale of Jim Laker’s jumper
thetimes.com/article/13c160c…
Written pieces on Ashes venues and the 💯 this week in @TimesSport but nice to have a change of pace reflecting on Laker’s feat- surely the greatest by an England cricketer, 70 years ago next week. What a bowler he must have been
70 years ago Jim Laker took 19 wickets in a Test- the greatest individual performance by an England cricketer. Here’s a story of the sweater and mementos that survive it. Thanks to Graham Gooch and Jim’s family for the story thetimes.com/sport/cricket/a…

Latest column of many about England’s Test team over last few weeks thetimes.com/sport/cricket/a… in @TimesSport
Wrote this column way back in March, about Flower for Test job and McCullum white ball. Will it now come to pass? Problem is events since then make it messier and more complicated than it would have been at that point. ECB behind curve not ahead of it
