All-rounder Shadab Khan of the Pakistani side revealed that his marriage had not previously been scheduled.
Shadab expressed his excitement to begin a new chapter in his life in a video that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) posted online.
“It’s a big moment for me and my family,” said Shadab. “To be honest, it happened all of a sudden. I was scheduled to travel to Australia but due to injury, I couldn’t. Meanwhile, it all happened,” shared the all-rounder.
Shadab got married to Saqlain Mushtaq’s daughter, a former Test cricketer. Today’s reception for the cricketer took place in Rawalpindi.
Shadab responded that the marriage season in the cricket community wasn’t anything that was planned.
“Haris Rauf and I were not prepared for marriage. Shaheen and Shan already planned their marriage. Back-to-back weddings are just a coincidence,” he said.
In December of last year, Haris married Muzna Masood Malik, a classmate. On January 21, Shan wed his fiance, and on February 3, Shaheen wed the daughter of former Test cricketer Shahid Afridi.
Prior to the start of Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 8 in Karachi, Shadab will join his team Islamabad United. This year, the two-time champions will continue to be led by the all-around player.
In a post-PSL 8 interview, Shadab had said that he doesn’t want to lose against his friends. “When I am playing in the PSL, I am more focused because I don’t want to lose to my teammates and close friends, otherwise they remind you about that the whole year with their teasing comments,” the cricketer told the PCB Podcast.
“What I am today is solely due to PSL. I entered in this competition as an Emerging Category player, but this tournament gave me the opportunity, belief and confidence to grow and develop as a cricketer and I am pleased that I am now a Platinum Category player,” he added.
