Out-of-favour Pakistani cricketer Fawad Alam has officially brought his international career to a close after more than 15 years of representing Pakistan internationally on the cricket field. The left-handed batter’s decision to step away from the Pakistan cricket team marks the end of an era in his journey.
However, the talented cricketer is now gearing up for a fresh start as he prepares to join the Chicago Kingsmen as a local player in the Minor League Cricket T20 that follows the recently concluded Major League Cricket (MLC) 2023 competition in the United States.

It is worth mentioning that Fawad’s last appearance for Pakistan was in July 2022, during a two-match Test series against Sri Lanka. Subsequently, he was left out of the home series against England due to his below-par performance.
In his tenure representing Pakistan, Fawad contributed significantly to the team’s success. He made his debut in white-ball cricket in 2007 and went on to participate in 38 One Day Internationals (ODIs) and 24 T20 Internationals (T20Is), amassing a total of 966 and 194 runs, respectively.
On the other hand, Fawad’s Test debut in July 2009 saw him become the first Pakistani cricketer to score a century on debut. He delivered many top-notch performances throughout his career and amassed a total of 1011 runs at an average of 38.88. His remarkable tally included five centuries and two half-centuries.
Apart from this, he accumulated impressive 14.000 runs in the domestic circuit in 201 first-class games. He was also a part of the T20 World Cup-winning team of Pakistan.

Fawad’s transition to the Chicago Kingsmen places him among a cohort of Pakistani cricketers who have chosen to explore new avenues abroad and especially in the USA. The 37-year-old joined the likes of Sami Aslam, Hammad Azam, Saif Badar and Mohammad Mohsin on the list.
