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

Strong editorial today in @thetimes on Imran Khan

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

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…
