Aitchisonian Becomes World's Youngest Sports Author
At nineteen years and sixty-five days, Hasan
Malik (Batch of 2024) became the World's
Youngest Sports Author by publishing his first
book, Ten Moments That Changed Cricket.
The book is for cricket fans of all ages. It
provides an analytical look at the modern
game coupled with historical insights into
how the world of cricket developed over the
last 200 years. The author examines the
spread of international cricket, the evolution
of all three formats, and the changes in
playing styles - and more in the tapestry of
cricket's history. Featuring a Foreword by Mr.
Ali Khan Tareen, the owner of the Multan
Sultans cricket franchise, the book is sure to
be a riveting read.
Recently, Hasan Malik was invited to speak
about his book on PTV World. Hasan is also
the founder of Pakistan's largest youth-run
cricket blog, The Cricketing Hour, with 4k+
followers on Instagram and 60+ videos on
YouTube.
Ferozsons, Pakistan's largest publishing
house, has certified Hasan's achievement as
the youngest-ever sports author in the world.
Mr. Hasan is currently pursuing studies in
Computer Science at the University of
Toronto.
Chasing the Golden Glow Moazzam Hayat (AC' 08) on Spantik Peak
On August 25, 2024, at 11:17 AM, Moazzam Hayat stood atop
Spantik Peak (7,027 meters) in the Karakoram range
alongside Pedro from Brazil and Alex from Russia. The
climb, part of an 18-day expedition, showcased endurance,
teamwork, and determination.
The six-member international team included Sibtain from
Pakistan, Jiren from Hong Kong, and Tiago from Brazil.
They began their journey in Skardu, trekking through
Shigar's Arindu village and the Chogolungma Glacier to
reach the basecamp. Spantik, also called the "Golden
Peak," glows gold at sunset when viewed from
Hunza.Moazzam credits the trekking spirit and resilience
he gained during his time at Aitchison College for helping
him overcome the challenges of the expedition. Out of six
climbers, three reached the summit despite harsh weather
and icy terrain. His story inspires others to push boundaries
and proves that perseverance conquers the impossible.
