Cricketing publication gets international praise

Cricketing publication ScoreLine, based out of Karachi and into its fifth-year of operation, has recently received applause and admiration from several international players.

The publication actively works with the
sporting and journalistic community to establish strong footings for a focused
platform catering to all forms of the sport from the country, read a press
statement issued by ScoreLine.

“Quality journalism defines this
publication. It is indeed praiseworthy for a journal to hold its place in the
market and indicates confidence for the future. Hope this will continue to
enlighten and entertain readers for years to come,” the statement quoted former
Pakistan captain Asif Iqbal as saying.

ScoreLine’s advisory board has included the
likes of Arif Ali Khan Abbasi, Javed Jabbar, Chishty Mujahid and Rashid Latif.
Contributors from across the globe, including Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka,
Bangladesh, United Kingdom, West Indies, and United States form part of the
editorial mix.

Richard Syndenham, a journalist and sports
agent who has written for the Sunday Telegraph, Sunday Express, Guardian, New
York Times and the International Herald Tribune said ScoreLine has rapidly
become a “well-respected member of the world’s cricket media” over the last few
years.

The digital platform of the publication has gained hype and is active. From features, news, series updates and history to sections for women, under-19, disabled and blind, the website presents a dynamic view of content.

“Going through the
publication is like reading a love letter from far away. I can see my beloved
(Pakistan cricket) in all her moods: downcast or exuberant, quiet or noise,
reflective or instinctive. I know what she is doing and what she is thinking.
And it is a joy to write back to her from time to time,” UK-based author and
columnist Richard Heller was quoted as saying.

The print edition is published bi-monthly.
The paperback has a decent market in an age where digital and electronic medias
have taken the lead and is distributed separately worldwide to journalists,
reporters, and the cricketing fraternity.

Ather Ali Khan, former Bangladesh cricketer
and a commentator based out of Dhaka said it’s great to see a quality
publication coming this far in the last few years.

The venture was founded by Muhammad
Rahimtoola and Shoaib Ahmed. The former has been associated with the television
and digital industry and the latter is a journalist and has previously worked
for media affairs at the Pakistan Cricket Board.

“Congratulations to the publication and its
accomplishments. ScoreLine is a happy addition to the library at Lords,” said curator
of Marylebone Cricket Club Library and Museum in London, Adam Chadwick.
