Wayne Parnell has converted to Islam. South Africa left-arm fast bowler confirmed in a statement that he converted to the Islamic faith in January, 2011. Parnell said that he will “continue to respect the team’s endorsement of alcoholic beverages.”
Hashim Amla the other muslim in the South African team does not wear a beer logo on his playing kit because of his religious beliefs. Other South African players said that they were all very impressed by the discipline and strict adherence that Amla showed to his religion, staying extremely committed to his prayers five times a day even while on tour and not wearing a beer logo on his playing kit. However, they endorsed that Amla or Imran Tahir had never tried to convert any of them to the Islamic faith.
There have been other sporting greats who have been converted to the Islamic faith because of the truth and justice they said they found in the faith. Muhammad Ali, the world heavy wieght champion from the USA, Muhammad Yusuf from Pakistan, Mike Tyson again from the USA, and there are so many other great players who have all said they found peace in Islam.
Parnell is considering to change his name to Waleed, an Islamic name meaning the ‘Newborn Son’.

Johannesburg: According to a South African Newspaper Independent Online, Wayne Parnell has converted to Islamic faith. Proteas’ team manager Dr Mohammed Moosajee confirmed the news by saying: “It was his choice to embrace Islam.” His Islamic name is Whallid (waleed) which means ‘great one’.

Wayne Parnell has the honour to represent South Africa at very tender age. He came to limelight when he captained South African Under-19 team in the U-19 World Cup in 2008. He was the youngest player to get a central contract in 2009 at the age of 20 years.

Influence of fellow Protea players Hashim Amla and Imran Tahir on his change of faith is not confirmed yet, although an SMS was circulating citing the possible role of these two.

According to the Newspaper, Amla’s agent Ismail Kajee said it was not true that the ODI (vice) captain had any influence in Parnell’s decision to convert to Islam.He may continue to use his Christian name while playing for his nation.

s his first Ramadan is approaching where he is expected to observe his first ever fast, attempts to contact him weren’t successful.

In the current team, he will be the third Muslim after Hashim Amla and Pakistan-born Imran Tahir. South Africa being an open and tolerant society ensures that he continues to lead his life and pursue his career as he was doing before. Happy new life to Whallid Parnell!

He is the second Christian to have reverted to Islam after Pakistan’s Yousuf Yohana (now Mohammad Yousuf) in 2006.
