The 27-year-old also displayed his lavish residence situated in the same neighborhood where prominent figures such as Elon Musk, the owner of Tesla and Twitter, reside.
"Alhamdulillah, I am satisfied with my life here. I own a house and live with my family here," Aslam said.
"I am enjoying my cricket here. I always dreamt of playing cricket and I got a good opportunity here. I wanted to play for Pakistan but didn't get much opportunity there," he added.
