iirc it was after attending preaching sessions of a missionary group that Inzamam is part of.

Venkatesh Iyer: 'Fear of failure is always there, but the hope for success is higher, so why not try?'
The KKR vice-captain talks about why he focuses on impact rather than just run-scoring, his Rs 20-crore price tag, and why he's doing a PhD

The scholar's perspective of the game. Guy is doing his Ph.D even after the IPL riches. Good bloke. I hope he can make it as an all-format player. Ticks a lot of boxes our side needs.
Love how almost all of his answers are focussed around "how can my team win the game and how can I help towards that". Its such a basic and simple way of seeing the game that many fail to do as they go through the ranks, not just in India but everywhere these days.
IIRC, it was Saeed Anwar who persuaded him. His family, especially mother, was totally against it and disavowed him.

Go BCL. People are swooning about Sachin still having it but I think its even more impressive that a 55 year old Lara is still that good.

Virat has accepted responsibility for his deplorable actions during BGT and says "he doesn't feel great about those things myself".

Good to see him feel this way as it shows at least he is able to process it correctly now. Hopefully he stays better behaved and hopefully this helps him find his best form soon, as he doesn't seem to be going away from the test side.
These articles do gimme hope.
Virat said:
Kohli bats for families' presence on India's tours
His comments come in the wake of the BCCI directive limiting families' presence during India's overseas assignments

Because players weren’t travelling in Team Bus . First Kohli/Rohit started to arrive to the ground separately during practice sessions, then Bumrah also started following same . So what will happen is that players will stop using Team Bus and start using Uber/Ola to arrive on ground.
Also many players weren’t reporting to practice sessions and opting to spend time with their family members
What does this have to do with the cricket being played though? There's much stronger reasons for success/failure than how they travel to grounds and practice or how much time they spend with family.

I think there is definite merit in ensuring players turn up for team meetings and team dinners and the bonding that happens that way. I do get the feeling the current players' families have taken it too far the other extreme and maybe insist the players spend every moment outside the ground with them etc. There has to be a balance. The players' partners need to understand its a team sport and there will be team stuff happening even outside the park and they need to be part of the team activities etc. There is nothing wrong in them being with the players as long as they understand these things but I guess that is where they are facing issues now.

They should care if they think it’s affecting performance. Whether it does is up for debate.

I saw this the other and it's absolutely a disgusting attitude. You don't even have to be a sufi to be tolerant of others. Just not be a ****.

Not even sure wtf this post is. People don't typically convert for captaincy, especially since he was already VC and had the honor of being the first ever Christian Pakistani captain. I'm sure he had personal reasons for converting that I don't recall him ever sharing. I do know he went pretty deep into it, even missing matches to go preaching. That's something Inzi and Saeed never did.

when righteousness gets in the mix it's always a difficult situation. people that believe they are divinely ordained develop a complex which sort of extricates them from usual senses of morality or common courtesy
