Fawad Alam 'bids farewell' to Pakistan’s cricket

As reported, Fawad, who played his last Test in Sri Lanka in 2022, has joined Chicago Kingsmen in Minor League Cricket T20 as a local player. Minor league comes under the umbrella of Major League Cricket (MLC), America's first-ever cricket league, which concluded in late July.

Fawad will play for Chicago Kingsmen which also features another Pakistani cricketer Hassan Khan. Hassan, who played in Pakistan's age-group cricket and Pakistan Super League (PSL), also left the country to explore a better career in the USA.

The left-handed unorthodox batter made his Test debut in 2009 after a brief stint in white-ball cricket following his debut in 2007. He scored a century on his Test debut to kick off possibly a glittering career. However, he was dropped from the team after just his third Test the same year.

He had to wait for more than 10 years to make a comeback to the Test side. Meanwhile, he completed his 10,000 runs in domestic cricket. In 2020, he got a chance to make a comeback against England in their backyard.

That series wasn't fruitful for the left-hander but he showed his true power in the next series in New Zealand where he scored a match-saving hundred.

In 2021, he scored three centuries against South Africa, Zimbabwe, and West Indies. Later next year, he was dropped from the playing XI following failures in three-match Test series against Australia at home and in a Test against Sri Lanka in July.

Agha Salman replaced Fawad in the second Test against Sri Lanka last year after which Fawad was once again dropped from the team.
