Pakistan postponed

The plan to play cricket in Pakistan this winter is in umbrae. To blame? Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab. Why? A foreign education, a brief-very brief- study of Arabic at a lifestyle college* in the past, my sometime residence in the families London home, my current residential proximity to an infamous Mosque, multi-citizenship and part moslem parentage- all this added to a previously declared desire to ‘travelplaycricketwrite’ in Pakistan has finally brought me under the gaze of MI5. A detention order as governed by the 2006 Terrorism is imminent.
