The Muslim 'cricket' names thread

[1137moiz]

Salam you guys. I realized some months back when Imran Nazir and David Warner were being compared that their last name was the same, only in different languages.

Since then I've embarked on a quest to get the Muslim names of cricket players.

For example:

Simon Taufel= Usman Tufail

 

[DeadlyVenom]

lol this will be interesting, cant think of any at the moment myself

 

[1137moiz]

Mikhail Athar=Michael Atherton

Dawud Nazir=David Warner

Mishaal bin Yahya=Mitchell Johnson

 

[farazaidi]

shahid afridi = shahid afridi

hey! That rhymes perfectly

 

[Saqs]

Dawud Nazir=David Warner

Mishaal bin Yahya=Mitchell Johnson

This is gold.

I am going to refer to Mitch as bin Yahya from now on.

 

[1137moiz]

Simon Katich: Usman Katchi

Cameron White: Kamran Farangi/Abaid

Geoff Boycott: Jaffer Hartal

Simon Jones: Usman Yunus

 

[1137moiz]

Abraham Benjamin de Villiers: Ibrahim Binyameen Villari

 

[1137moiz]

Paul Wiseman. Talal Hakimi.

(logic behind this: Paul is like Saul, which translates to Talut, which sounds like Talal)

 

[Looney]

James Anderson = James Andar Ka Bacha ( bacha is an actual name i.e. Bacha Khan )
Ashwell Prince = Abdus Salam Shahzada
Marcus North = Maaz Shumaal

 

[161]

Warnakulasuriya Patabendige Ushantha Joseph Chaminda Vaas = Mo

 

[1137moiz]

James Anderson = James Andar Ka Bacha ( bacha is an actual name i.e. Bacha Khan )
Ashwell Prince = Abdus Salam Shahzada
Marcus North = Maaz Shumaal

Hahaha that's the way to do it!

Except Anders means "duck" in some northern european language so it can be James Battakhkabacha

 

[1137moiz]

Yusuf Wasti

 

[1137moiz]

I think this should be Shamoon bin Yahya, as Usman means something different than Simon, and Jones is a variant of Johnson.

[1137moiz]

I think this should be Shamoon bin Yahya, as Usman means something different than Simon, and Jones is a variant of Johnson.
