Yousuf abandoned Christianity to embrace Islam and changed his name from Yousuf Youhana as he was known before 2005. Not content with a mere change in religion, Yousuf had also vowed to commit himself to Ramazan and not play cricket during that holy month, "It is a sin to not fast during Ramazan for a Muslim, I don't think cricket should be organised during Ramazan when one should focus on his religious obligations, I will never play cricket in Ramazan."
However, the present England Pakistan Test series will gradually held into Ramazan. But apparently Yousuf has had a change of mind and is open to the idea of playing, even if he means he will be fasting during the period.
