Good for Fawad as he needs to get himself into contention for some Test spots now. Hope this plus domestic form gets him somewhere - about time!

County contract would have been good but playing league cricket ??

How much do these club cricket pay their players ? I heard they also hook you up with an under the table day time job.

These cricketers get work permits when playing in the UK, I don't know about the UK law, but in Canada if you get a work permit you can work how many jobs you feel like and whatever job you can get, and you don't need under the table dealing.

he should look to secure his financial future....as the door to the national team wont be open or will not be open too long for him

I think he has given up on representing Pakistan now, and hence he's heading for greener pastures and other foreign deals. Good on him to play overseas and make a genuine buck or two.

It is a sincere tragedy that Pakistan's highest FC run scorer even cannot find a place in the team in any given format and dross like Shehzad and Kamran Akmal keep getting picked for a Zillion times

He has so much potential shame on PCB for selecting TTFs like asad shafiq and hafeez over fawad alam.

yes, i agree all three dont deserve to be anywhere near the team. fawad could have his revenge on the system though: he could become a coach and teach juniors whatever it is he calls that when he is holding a bat

This won't get him anywhere, even if he scores 100s in every match. All he can do is perform well in the domestic tournaments. If he gets a lot of runs at a high SR in Pakistan cup, he could find himself in with a chance of Champions Trophy selection

Last season Fawad Alam scored 1/4 as many First Class centuries as Salman Butt.

Can Fawad Alam lift his game this season to score half as many First Class centuries as Salman Butt?
