Notably, the South African player has now changed his name to Imaad, as declared by his wife’s Instagram story.
The 26-year-old cricketer made his international debut for the South Africa cricket team in September 2019.
It is pertinent to note that Bjorn does not have a long international career as he began his journey in 2019.
Nevertheless, he has represented respective South African teams in first-class and List A cricket.
Bjorn is the second South African cricketer to embrace Islam after Wayne Parnell, the left-arm-medium-fast bowler, became a Muslim back in 2011.
