Islamabad: Pakistan cricket star Yusuf Youhana, who was the only Christian in the team, has converted to Islam.

“The conversion took place with members of a ‘tableeghi jamaat’ present with him in Mecca, where he and his family said the kalma and later performed umra,” a cricketer was quoted as saying by a Pakistani newspaper on Saturday.

“Youhana and his family have also been issued certificates in the holy place confirming their Muslim status which allowed them to perform umra,” he said.
