Former Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik had his new wife, Sana Javed, cheering for him from the sidelines during the Pakistan Super League (PSL) match between Multan Sultans and Karachi Kings on Monday.
Playing for Karachi Kings, Malik scored a 35-ball 53, including 2 sixes and 5 fours. However, Malik's effort was in vain as Karachi were bowled out for 130 while chasing 186 to win.
Various video clips, which went viral on social media, showed a smiling Sana watching proceedings at the Multan Cricket Stadium.
Shoaib, who divorced India's tennis ace Sania Mirza, has married Sana and announced the news of their marriage on social media in January this year.
Sania's family later confirmed that the couple has divorced.
“Sania has always kept her personal life away from the public eye. However, today the need has arisen for her to share that Shoaib, and she have been divorced for a few months now,” the statement read.
Sana, who had previously married singer Umari Jaiswal in 2020, has featured in numerous successful TV drama series and Pakistani films.
The 42-year-old Malik last played for Pakistan in a T20I against Bangladesh in November 2021.
