On cricinfo I read that irfan & yusuf were half brothers. Anyone know what happened to yusufs mother?(since he is older, unless they both share the same mother). Can anyone clarify this for me? Thanks.

I think that they have the same father. I don't know but it may be that the father has more than one wife since it is allowed in theirreligion.

you are right.. Islam supports polygamy even though a majority of muslims don't marry more than once in India. I guess Irfan and Yusuf have the same dad and were born to different women so that makes them half brothers.
