Fawad Alam, an established figure in Pakistani cricket, has announced his retirement from international cricket after a 15-year career. The 36-year-old batter will now join the Chicago Kingsmen as a ‘local’ player in the Minor League Cricket T20 tournament, a part of the USA’s cricket landscape.
Alam’s sporadic presence in the national team was marked by both triumphs and challenges, including a Test century on debut in 2009 and later, a resurgence highlighted by centuries against formidable teams.
However, his unconventional technique faced scrutiny and led to his omission from the national squad. Alam’s decision to transition to the USA marks the beginning of a new chapter in his cricket journey, leaving behind a legacy of consistent domestic performances.
