Shoaib Malik Ties the Knot with Sana Javed Amid Sania Mirza Divorce Buzz

Shoaib Malik

In a surprising turn of events, veteran Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik has embarked on a new journey by marrying Pakistani actress Sana Javed. The announcement, shared on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), featured enchanting pictures from their wedding ceremony, accompanied by the caption, “And we created you in pairs.”

Rumors of Malik’s involvement with Javed had been circulating for some time, gaining momentum when he extended birthday wishes to the actress last year with a heartwarming “Happy Birthday Buddy” post, showcasing a snapshot of their camaraderie.

The 41-year-old cricketer had previously stood by Javed when she faced backlash for alleged misconduct on the set of Pyaare Afzal. In March 2022, Shoaib Malik took to Twitter to express his support, stating, “I have known Sana Javed for quite some time now and have had the opportunity to work with her multiple times. From my personal experience, I can only say that she has always been kind and courteous towards me and the people around us.”

Amid ongoing rumors of a divorce with Indian tennis legend Sania Mirza, Malik’s wedding post has sent ripples of surprise across borders. Shoaib and Sania exchanged vows in 2010 in a traditional Muslim ceremony in Hyderabad, followed by a Walima ceremony in Sialkot, Pakistan. The couple also shares a son, Izhaan, born in 2018.

While the details surrounding the strain in Shoaib Malik and Sania Mirza’s relationship remain undisclosed, signs of a rift emerged around the first half of 2021. Despite initially maintaining an active presence on social media and sharing glimpses of their lives together, the couple’s online engagement dwindled over time. Reports from last year hinted at a potential collaboration for a TV show, which materialized as Spotify’s “The Mirza Malik Show,” featuring the duo hosting celebrities in 40-minute episodes.

Adding to the intrigue, Sania Mirza‘s recent cryptic Instagram post on the challenges of marriage and life choices has reignited speculations about a possible divorce. Her thought-provoking message urged followers to “choose your hard” in various aspects of life.

Addressing the question of whether this marks Shoaib Malik’s third wedding, officially, this is his second marriage. However, before marrying Sania Mirza, Malik faced allegations of a prior marriage with Ayesha Siddiqui, which he vehemently denied, attributing it to an incident of fraud.

The controversy with Ayesha unfolded in the early 2000s, involving phone calls, supposed feelings developing between Shoaib Malik and Ayesha, and ultimately revealing disparities between the person in photographs and the individual Malik was communicating with. Despite legal notices exchanged and Ayesha’s strong allegations, Malik clarified that the entire chapter with Ayesha was a case of fraud, bringing a unique twist to his matrimonial history.

Shoaib Malik, Pakistani Cricketer

Born on February 1, 1982, Shoaib Malik is a distinguished Pakistani cricketer who represents the national team and is currently playing for Karachi Kings in the Pakistan Super League (PSL). Serving as the captain of the Pakistan national cricket team from 2007 to 2009, Malik made his one-day international debut against the West Indies in 1999 and his test debut against Bangladesh in 2001. Notably, he announced his retirement from Test cricket in November 2015 to focus on the 2019 Cricket World Cup. In a historic feat, on July 2, 2018, Malik became the first male cricketer to play 100 T20Is. Following Pakistan’s victory against Bangladesh in the 2019 Cricket World Cup, he retired from one-day international cricket on July 5, 2019. Malik was a crucial member of the Pakistan team that clinched the 2009 ICC World Twenty20.

Known for his all-round prowess, Malik has secured over 150 ODI wickets, maintaining a batting average in the mid-30s in both Test and ODI cricket. Despite scrutiny of his bowling action, particularly his doosra, he underwent elbow surgery to address concerns. In June 2008, he achieved the second rank in the ICC ODI all-rounder rankings, just behind teammate Shahid Afridi.

Shoaib Malik faced a one-year ban from international cricket from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) in March 2010, but the ban was overturned two months later. As the captain of the Sialkot Stallions, he led the team to a record eight domestic T20 titles, the last one secured in 2015. On September 13, 2017, Malik became Pakistan’s highest run scorer in T20Is.

His notable achievements include scoring 126 runs against India in the 2009 ICC Champions Trophy and captaining Punjab’s squad in the 2018 Pakistan Cup. On July 1, 2018, Malik became the first Asian batsman to reach 2,000 runs in T20Is and the first player worldwide to play 100 T20Is. During the 2018 Caribbean Premier League, he became the fourth batsman to reach 8,000 runs in T20s.

In a groundbreaking moment on October 10, 2020, during the 2020–21 National T20 Cup, Shoaib Malik became the first Pakistani batsman to achieve the milestone of 10,000 runs in Twenty20 cricket, accomplishing this feat in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s match against Balochistan. Further solidifying his legacy, in February 2023, while playing for the Rangpur Riders in the 2022–23 Bangladesh Premier League, Malik became the first Pakistani and the third cricketer globally (following Kieron Pollard and Dwayne Bravo from the West Indies) to participate in 500 T20 matches.
