The trauma dates back to the 2007 cricket World Cup in West Indies. As asked by the Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer, a day back, I had called Room No. At the start of the tournament, we’d had a long conversation on Pakistan cricket. “Mr Woolmer, isn’t coaching Pakistan the most difficult job in the world?” I had asked him sympathetically. When I had decided to cover the group that had Pakistan, West Indies, Zimbabwe and Ireland, I thought this would be easy.
