The South African left-arm fast bowler Wayne Parnell has accepted Islam as his new religion. He, if selected in future, will now be third Muslim in current South African team along with Hashim Amla and Pakistan born Imran Tahir.
A South African news agency Independent Online published news that Wayne Parnell has converted to Islamic faith. Proteas’ team manager Dr Mohammad Moosajee confirmed the news by saying: “It was his choice to embrace Islam.”
Another South African news site also says that he has not finalized his Islamic name yet but it is likely to be Waleed. As of now he is Wayne Dillon Parnell.
Some forwarded text messages are of the view that Proteas ODI vice-captain Hashim Amla’s influenced Parnell’s conversion from Christianity to Islam. However, Parnell’s agent Ismail Kajee has denied this rumor.
Wayne Parnell, who is about to turn 22, was captain of South Africa’s team in U/19 WC 2008. He made his Test debut in 2010 against England after making his ODI debut in 2009 against Australia.
Parnell is a left-arm bowler who relies on his pace and is highly regarded as limited-over cricket specialist. In ODIs, so far, he has taken 31 wickets in 19 games. He is also known for his hostile, yorker-infested, spell against Pakistan in ICC World T20 Semi Final 2009 in Nottingham.
He has also represented Delhi daredevils and Pune Warriors in IPL 2010 and 2011 respectively. Currently, he is a team-mate of Rana Naveed-ul-Hassan and Umar Gul in Sussex county’s campaign in Friends life t20 in England.

namrta @@@ KINDLY READ ONCE QUR’AN IN UR LIFE. U WILL LEAVE ALL RELIGIOUS..BECAUSE THE TRUTH IS ALWAYS TRUTH..
ms Namrata I think you are still amature.Allah has given Waleed(parnell) a welfare.
Namrta u r mad u r feeling jealously.what i can i do 4 u bcoz u r in darkness.
George & namrta Islam is light and those r who’s in darkness like u they could not take benefits to this light bcoz they have empty mind they have wrong thoughts but our sweet brother waleed(wayne) proves that he has a open mind open heart open observation.that’s y he accepts Islam.waleed is great man of the world.we love waleed.welcome in peace of religion.
Dear Namrta,
I believe that you are from my native country India and if I am right my advise to you is that please go thorough your own authentic religious scriptures and get back to me. At this moment i don’t say what is right and wrong. I know that we are living in democratic country and everybody is free to pass his comments.
He is Muslim now, it doesn’t mean that he will not be famous now. He will become more famous now
May Allah bless him. JAZAKALLAH.
