Melbourne: Pakistan-born Australian leg-spinner Fawad Alam wants to be a role model for his community not just through his cricketing skills but also wants to showcase the true meaning of his religion via the game.

An asylum seeker in Australia after fleeing Pakistan in 2010, Ahmed earned a T20 entry in the Kangaroo squad in August 2013 and has since played 3 ODIs and 2 T20 for the national side. With Australia set to play West Indies in a two-Test series starting June 3, a Test debut is on the cards for the 33-year-old player and Ahmed not only wants to showcase his cricketing skills but also play an ambassador for his religion.
