A terrific and heart-warming story, a sort of Kiterunner in batting gloves. This story of Taj Malik and his intrepid Afghan team-mates makes you feel that with luck, everything might turn out all right after all...
Michael Simkin
You don't need to be a cricketer to find this story inspirational.
Ed Smith, writer and former international cricketer
A true story that reads like a fairy tale, this is one of the most intelligent and compelling cricket books I have read in a long time.
Andy Bull, Guardian cricket writer
The best books about sport are, of course, about more than just sport and Out of the Ashes fits perfectly into this genre.
Mike Atherton
Taj Malik and his team prove that the passion for cricket can survive anything. Tim Albone's labour of love is the tribute they deserve.
