Reasons Why Fawad Alam Took Early Retirement

Discrimination

The selection process for major cricket tournaments in Pakistan has been plagued by favoritism, leading to a sense of neglect within domestic cricket that has caused many players to leave. One such player (Fawad) had a remarkable debut in 2009, scoring a century, but was unfortunately dropped from the team after just a few Tests. Despite consistently scoring a high number of runs with an impressive average of 55 in domestic cricket, Fawad had to wait for 11 years before making his next appearance in Test cricket.

Insecurity

The international community is aware of the intense political battles in Pakistan, where the administration or military hierarchy makes crucial decisions regarding political positions, as well as developments in cricket and other areas. This has resulted in players feeling insecure about their positions and facing the possibility of being removed without warning. Fawad’s early retirement was also influenced by this major factor.

Greed

Many Pakistani cricketers, including Fawad, have chosen to relocate to the United States in search of better economic opportunities, infrastructure, and job security. The US has maintained its position as the world’s leading economy and wealthiest nation, thanks to its diverse economy driven by critical sectors such as manufacturing, services, finance, and technology.

Citizenship

Fawad’s primary goal is to excel in the Minor Cricket League, followed by progressing to the Major Cricket League in the USA. He aims to establish a strong presence in the USA by actively participating in all major tournaments of the country. After several years of consistent participation, Fawad may consider applying for permanent citizenship in the USA.

Earning Potential

Players in Pakistan are facing difficulties in earning a substantial amount of money due to the weak economy, inflation, and less per capita income. Media reports suggest that players who participated in tournaments held in the USA were able to earn as much within a week as they would during a four-month season of playing four-day matches in Pakistan.

Political Instability

Pakistan is a particular country that frequently experiences significant protests, causing people to take to the streets in large numbers. Such protests instill fear in cricketers, and Fawad has personally witnessed this. As a result, he seeks a country with a robust political system and a peaceful environment.

Global Terrorism

Due to the promotion and sheltering of some of the world’s most wanted terrorists, Pakistan has gained a negative reputation on a global scale. To avoid any potential backlash and negative criticism, Fawad has made the decision to relocate to the United States.
