Chetna Keer, writing in Deccan Herald, praises the book, the 'Taliban Cricket Club' by Timeri N. Murari, saying its story was colourful.
Timeri s tale has all the ingredients to make it a masala read courage, cunning, conspiracy and cupid. And his characters are mostly well etched out. Rukhsana, as the embodiment of enterprise and the engineer of the team s escape, is portrayed as a woman of sense and substance. She presents the personification of two parallel lives, the character in which two contrary worlds her freedom-filled life in India and the burkha-imprisoned existence of Afghanistan converge.But as all the main characters race towards a climax on the cricket ground, this tale of political guile and gimmickry in the garb of cricket diplomacy proves that even as far as penning prose goes, it s all in the game.
