do these players fast while they are playing? I know you an play with fast, but i dont think u can win while fasting.
may be there should be no cricket in ramzan. I think inzi must be fasting.
I fast and play and it doesn't have any affect on my playing capabilities. Yeah, afterwards you feel a lil de-hydrated but during the game, time flies.
thats bcoz u play with guys who are also fasting. Play with someone who is not and u will see the difference. he would not be dehydrated and can play the next day too.
that's y we lost the game bcz player dun keep roza it's s hame we r having a tournment in Ramadhan we shouldn't have the whole world knows about Ramadhan and it's specialness then how those stupid ICC puts a tournment for pakistan in Ramadhan r any1 who did this today in skool when we had to go outside to run 2laps half mile i told my teacher that i'm fasting so she said u could just walk
Exactly my point. You can't fight the nature. There should not be any cricket in this month, unless u r playing bangladesh, coz they would also be fasting.
rob' some of our players aren't fasting, i'd say most aren't

I workout when I fast on weekends, it aint so bad.
But yeah 4 sure, it would be tough to play cricket in heat while fasting.
I think the ICC should respect our religion more and not have such stupid schedules.
I am not entirely sure, but wasn't 1992 WC was held in Ramzan, and Javed Miandad was the only man who fasted in the semifinal against New Zealand.
^ you are right about that
umair_ahmed it’s deja vu 10 years on mate, inzi’ and asim kamal are fasting the rest aren’t :nono:
wow MashAllah atleast some players r fasting well i thought mayb malik is fasting too bcz malik is religious. btw how do u know that them 2r fasting :D
the worldcup that we won many yrs ago, that was during Ramzan and im sure some of our players atleast must be fasting during the matches?
dont remember much but i think i heard some statements like since it was Ramzan and they were fasting and ppl were praying for them in Ramzan that Allah made them win the worldcup
in the area we live in, we have a playground in front of our house and usually boys play cricket there in the evening but in Ramzan they usually play night matches since i guess they dont wana play during the roza?
I play cricket with roza, its not that difficult, time passes very faaaast!! and when im finished playing, then the iftari time start! its actually kool

cos jatt sab, during the paktel cup odi series, i caught a mug shot of ganga rana chewing gum 1st thing in the morning, several times afterwards 2. during test series most players including sialkotia
{shoaib malik}, younis khan, imran farhat etc had regular swigs of water during drinks break but i never saw inzi and asim kamal drink alongside them. this is a bloddy disgrace, the legend that is javed minadad won us matches whilst fasting during his heyday, and players of today can't fulfill a obligatory duty.

KARACHI: Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq has been warming up for the much-anticipated one-day clash with archrivals India in Kolkata by taking part in a ‘Tableeghi’ (Preaching) tour of Sialkot and other parts of Punjab after the home series against Sri Lanka that ended on November 1.
Inzamam, who will report for a day’s training session in Lahore on Tuesday before the team departs for Kolkata :eek: on Wednesday for the November 13 match, has been taking part in religious congregations and also in Tableeghi tours with other Pakistan players and religious scholars. According to the details, Inzamam went to Sialkot accompanied by former Pakistan players Saeed Anwar, Mushtaq Ahmed, Zulqarnain and others.
Inzamam would be leading a Pakistan team for the first time on Indian soil and it will be the first occasion since early 1999 that Pakistan would be playing an international match in India.
In the last three years, number of Pakistan players have turned seriously towards religion and have taken active part in congregations and Tableeghi tours. Saeed was the first prominent player to grow a beard and turn to religion after the tragic death of his infant daughter in 2001. He was later followed by others like Mushtaq Ahmed, Saqlain Mushtaq, Inzamam, Salim Malik and Shahid Afridi.
“One can play cricket and also take part in congregations and Tableeghi tours. The advantage is that when people see prominent cricketers, who are thought to enjoy lavish lifestyles taking religion so seriously, it does make a positive impression on their minds,” Saeed said.
He said Inzamam, Mushtaq and Saqlain had been very prominent in making such tours and were vocal in their thoughts about how important religion has been for them as human beings and cricketers. “When Saqlain came down recently to Pakistan from England, he also took part in religious congregations and is doing a lot of good work in England among the Muslim community,” Saeed stated.
Saeed has revived his ties with cricket after his retirement after the 2003 World Cup by accepting a paid job from the PCB to coach youngsters at the NCA in Lahore and he added that he still enjoyed his association with the game.
Inzamam was not available for his comments as his phone was switched off but after winning the second Test against Sri Lanka in Karachi earlier this month, he had made it clear that the team was keen to win the one-off match in Kolkata and give the perfect Eid gift to the nation.
“Any match with India is always important for us because people follow it with great anticipation and expectation. We know what they expect from us when we play against India,” Inzamam had stated.
is there anything else better than this.i really like the players who r religious.and it really impacts the players in the team and also the fans.Inzi always tries his best whenever there is a gap between the series he would go for tableeghi jamaat.MashAllah
