Acting is a side thing, cricket is priority: Fawad Alam

Pakistan’s middle-order batsman Fawad Alam has shed light on his acting career after the conclusion of the second day’s play of the first Test against Zimbabwe in Harare.

Fawad had recently ventured into the field of showbiz and was seen in a web series for Urduflix titled Khudkash Muhabbat.

“My acting is just a side thing I do when I get a chance but my priority is cricket because of which I’m known to the world. Nobody would know who I am if I didn’t play cricket. My focus is on cricket and to perform for Pakistan whenever I am given a chance,” said Fawad in a press conference after the end of the second day’s play.

Fawad Alam completed a fourth Test century as he guided Pakistan to 374 for six and a commanding lead of 198 runs at the close of play on the second day.

The tourists are replying to their host’s modest first-innings score of 176 with Fawad, who takes a bizarre front-on stance at the crease, leading the way with an unbeaten 108 that has come from 155 balls on a slow wicket.

He has now reached a hundred on all four occasions that he has passed 50 in Test cricket and will resume on the third morning with all-rounder Hasan Ali (21 not out), who can be explosive at the crease and score quick runs.
