Shortlisted for the Sunday Times Cricket Book of the Year 2023 Jazbaa - Definition: spirit, feeling, passion, desire, sentiment, emotion In 1996, Shaiza Khan led a Pakistan team on a tour of New Zealand and Australia. While the tour was a failure on the cricketing front, the singular act of eleven women wearing flannels and battling for victory in the faraway antipodes was a significant achievement. These women had – individually and collectively – worked to throw off the shackles of social and cultural decrees that had conspired to keep Pakistani women away from sport for years. Even more importantly, these players were harbingers of change who became heroic role models for women back home and all around the world. Unveiling Jazbaa tells the story of Pakistan’s women’s cricket, detailing the extraordinary journey the players have been on to bring about change both in their country and in the sport itself. This is a tale told through the lens of society and politics, of personal battles and triumphs against the odds, of friendships and rivalries, of favours and revenge. Above all else, it is story of bravery and unerring will and a moving testimony to power of the human spirit. Foreword by Kamila Shamsie 'Compelling, ambitious, beautifully written and about so much more than cricket' – Tim Wigmore, The Telegraph and author of the multiple award-winning Cricket 2.0

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant read
Reviewed in India on April 17, 2023

It is an insightful and engaging book that sheds light on the often overlooked and under-appreciated history of women's cricket in Pakistan. The book also explores the personal experiences and stories of the women cricketers themselves, giving readers a glimpse into their dedication and passion for the sport.

5.0 out of 5 stars A really valuable and eye-opening book

Aayush Puthran has made a really valuable contribution to cricket’s written history with this book, but more than that, it’s a fantastic read.

The story of the birth of the Pakistan women’s cricket team is eye-opening to say the least. It was a masterstroke to begin the book with the story of Saba Nazir; although she played only once for Pakistan, she is a perfect example of what many of the players have gone through to play the game and represent their country.

An impressive list of players, administrators and others have been interviewed for the book, which gives it a feeling of authority. The various disputes and difficulties in the Pakistani women’s game are dealt with fairly but not shied away from.

It’s been a great few years for the literature of women’s cricket, and this is one of the biggest additions so far. Recommended to all cricket fans.

An excellent account of women’s cricket in Pakistan - and Pakistan in women’s cricket. Not an easy story, but a very important one.
