Pak Cricketer Ahmed Shehzad Induces Dilshan To Convert

Pakistan batsman Ahmed Shehzad was caught on camera telling Sri Lanka player Tillakaratne Dilshan "if you are a non-Muslim and you turn Muslim, no matter whatever you do in your life, straight to heaven."

 

Dilshan's reply was not audible, and Shehzad went on to say, "Then be ready for the fire."

 

The conversation took place Saturday after Sri Lanka won the match by seven wickets and both players were walking back to the dressing room.

 

Born to a Muslim father and a Buddhist mother, Dilshan had been a Muslim and played under his birth-name of Tuwan Mohammad Dilshan at the start of his international career. He has since converted to Buddhism and changed his name.
