[Saba Sports News] Former Pakistan cricket captain Shoaib Malik wed actor Sana Javed on January 20. Previously, Shoaib was married to Indian tennis star Sania Mirza since 2010, but reports indicated their relationship had been strained since mid-2022. Following his third marriage, Sania’s family disclosed that Malik had divorced their daughter prior to his new wedding.
Social media buzzed with photos of Shoaib and his new wife Sana, leading fans to unearth past evidence of discord between Shoaib and Sania. A particular video, featuring former Pakistan Cricket captain Misbah ul Haq, hinted at issues in Shoaib and Sania’s relationship. In this clip from ‘The Pavilion’ on A Sports, Misbah responds humorously to Shoaib’s comment about family, implying not everyone faces the same marital challenges.
Shoaib and Sania, who have a five-year-old son Izaan currently living with Sania’s mother, reportedly separated through ‘khula’, a legal provision in Sharia law allowing a woman to initiate divorce.
Sania and Shoaib’s 2010 marriage, which faced societal scrutiny due to India-Pakistan tensions, marked a significant step for Sania, who has since inspired many women in sports. Professionally, Sania retired in 2022 after a distinguished 20-year career, boasting 43 WTA Doubles titles and a singles trophy.
