ISLAMABAD, Mar 30 (AP): Former Pakistan cricket captain Shoaib Malik is set to marry Indian tennis star Sania Mirza, a union of two of South Asia's most well known sports personalities.
The marriage is sure to attract attention because neighbouring Pakistan and India are longtime rivals, and have fought three wars since 1947."The news of me marrying Sania is true," Malik posted on Twitter on Tuesday. "Inshallah (God willing) will get married in April."
The Pakistan Cricket Board has fined and banned Malik for one year for unspecified disciplinary reasons on the recommendation of an inquiry committee formed to evaluate defeat in both test and limited-overs series against Australia earlier this year. The 23-year-old Mirza, from Hyderabad, ended a previous engagement to childhood friend Sohrab Mirza in January, citing incompatibility.
Malik (28) was at the centre of marriage controversy five years ago when he was linked with Ayesha Siddiqui, who was from Mirza's hometown in India.
The two had reportedly developed friendship on the internet and Siddiqui's father had even threatened to take Malik to court. Malik has denied any relationship with Siddiqui.
The dashing cricketer was also linked with Indian actress Siali Bhagat, and there were reports of the two meeting confidentially in 2008.
