Ali Khan: the fast-bowling phone salesman
When he emigrated to the USA from his home in Pakistan, 19-year-old Ali Khan assumed he was leaving his cricketing dreams behind. However, to his surprise he found a local club and began playing for them once a week while working at a phone shop.
Jump forward a few years and Khan's inventive use of social media and an uncanny ability to nail yorkers at real pace has made him a mainstay of the US national team and one of the stars of the Caribbean Premier League. Khan has been telling his story to reporter James Alder.
