Usman support during Ramadan ! - ketchim - 06-19-2016
Khawaja acknowledges team support during Ramadan
Australia batsman Usman Khawaja has acknowledged the support of the team management while he observes the Muslim fasting period of Ramadan.
Khawaja told cricket.com.au that he had been fasting whenever possible during the series, while managing playing and training.
"It's been alright. It's something that I really enjoy doing, but if it's affecting my cricket or my training in too much of a negative way, then I probably won't do it," he said.
"It just depends on the situation.
"They don't force me to do anything. It's a choice, it's my personal choice.
They know that at the end of the day I wouldn't do anything to jeopardise
the team in any way.
"And what I'm doing now, I've said to them before that when I fast, I make sure I do everything as
well as I can.
And if I'm not doing it as well as I can, I will stop doing it and catch it up later on, which is always an option."

IIRC from my kindergarten madrassa class:
Qaza Roza ..... is Fardh ...........which can be kept at any time of the year !
IF the heat is unbearable while playing during Ramadan.
Divine intervention however is tough to beat
