What was that again?

”I got death threats from them.’They say I am promoting a Western culture and bringing kids out of their homes for recreational activity and if you continue this it might be really difficult for you.I quit coaching, but I got [picked] for [first-class] cricket and the matches were all around Pakistan. When I started performing, they said, ‘You are still involved with cricket and promoting Western culture. If you come back to home, or wherever you are, we will find you.’ I am happy that I am a good Muslim. I am doing nothing contrary to Islam.I am playing here the last two years and I am still praying and I never drank alcohol. There is nothing contradictory with Islam and playing cricket.”-says Fawad Ahmed, Pakistani cricketer who is seeking asylum in Australia
