Feature speaker Fazeer Mohammed said Ali represented the true flavour of a young man who had his dreams but never forgot where he came from. “My most treasured memory of Inshan was not as a bowler, but as a batsman in his final test match against Pakistan,” said Mohammed.
“He came out to bat with three slips, gully, forward short leg and leg gully in place and Imran Khan bowled short and he played the most astounding square cut that I’m sure the bowler had ever got in his life,” Mohammed continued, “It was like a right-handed Gordon Greenidge hitting it for four and it’s was almost like he was saying, you’re the Lion of Lahore, well come, I’m the Lion of Preysal.” Mohammed applauded the effort of Ali’s sister, Shafeeza Ali-Motilal, for writing the book, calling it a ‘labour of love.’
