Fawad Tariq Alam (Urdu: فواد عالم, born 8 October 1985) is a Pakistani cricketer and actor[3] who plays for Sindh and the Pakistan national cricket team. He made his international debut for Pakistan in May 2007.[4] He returned to Pakistan's Test team after a gap of 88 Tests and more than 10 years, the second longest gap by a Pakistani in Test cricket after Younis Ahmed's 104 Tests gap.[5] He was surprisingly overlooked for selection to the Pakistan test cricket team for over a decade despite being a prolific run scorer in domestic first-class matches.[6][7] With respect to career batting average, Fawad is among the all-time top 50 batsmen in first-class cricket worldwide; he is the sole Pakistani on the list.
Born in Karachi,[8] Fawad plays primarily as a left-handed batter, but also bowls slow left-arm orthodox. After not playing international cricket for more than 10 years for Pakistan, he returned to Test cricket against England, in August 2020.[9] He is also known for his Ertuğrul Gazi-type signature style celebration, which he emulated from the Turkish historical drama series Diriliş: Ertuğrul.[10][11]
