Test cricketer, Sami Aslam, who left Pakistan after feeling neglected in the domestic setup, has expressed contentment with his decision to pursue a cricket career in the United States.

Sami, in a YouTube Vlog, revealed that he presently resides in the Bay Area of San Francisco, which is known to be one of the most expensive residential areas globally.

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.
