Pakistani cricket star Yousuf Youhana converted to Islam from Christianity after attending preaching sessions by a leading religious group

Pakistani cricket star Yousuf Youhana converted to Islam from Christianity after attending preaching sessions by a leading religious group. Youhana, who now calls himself Mohammed Yousuf and was the only Christian in the team, says his wife also converted with him. Reports in Pakistan say his parents are furious while Yousuf says he wants the rest of his family to convert too. But he told journalists that he had converted of his own free will and there was no pressure on him to do so. "I cannot tell you what a great feeling it is," he told.
