Listen "Imran Khan"
Episode Synopsis
The castaway in Desert Island Discs this week is the Pakistani cricketer Imran Khan. Educated at Oxford and dividing his time between England and Pakistan, his fame extends well beyond the cricket field. He'll be talking to Sue Lawley about his faith - he is a devout Muslim - the constant speculation surrounding his love life and how his mother's death from cancer dramatically changed his life.[Taken from the original programme material for this archive edition of Desert Island Discs] Favourite track: Us And Them by Pink Floyd
