The population of Pakistani origin ranks eighteenth in Australia's immigrant community, making Pakistani Australians 1.3 per cent of the overseas-born population here. Zeeshan Asad is also one such individual who migrated to Australia from Pakistan and made Sydney his permanent home. But as they say, wherever Pakistanis go, their love for their native country and cricket go with them. The same happened with Zeeshan and after coming to Australia, his love for cricket got a new hope. He started a Cricket Club three years ago which he is running successfully.
