Shoaib Malik

Shoaib Malik (Punjabi, Urdu: شعیب ملک; pronounced [ʃoeːb məlɪk]; born 1 February 1982) is a former Pakistani cricketer who played for the Pakistan national cricket team and previously played for Quetta Gladiators in the Pakistan Super League (PSL). He was the captain of the Pakistan national cricket team from 2007 to 2009. He made his One Day International debut in 1999 against the West Indies and his Test debut in 2001 against Bangladesh. With his country, he won the 2009 World Twenty20 and the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy.

Malik was born into a middle-class Punjabi Rajput family in Sialkot.

His father Malik Faqueer Hussain, a modest shopkeeper who sold local footwear and supported his son's passion for cricket, died of throat cancer in 2006.

His brother Adeel Malik and nephew Mohammad Huraira are also cricketers.

Malik was married in 2002 to Ayesha Siddiqui from Hyderabad, India which ended in divorce on 7 April 2010.

Malik reportedly dated Miss India-turned-actress Sayali Bhagat, whom he met in 2008 when he was supposed to make his Bollywood debut, but they eventually separated when he announced his engagement to Indian tennis player Sania Mirza. Writing in 2008 for CricInfo, Andrew McGlashan called Bhagat his "real-life girlfriend." Both Malik and Bhagat, however, denied such reports, calling them publicity stunts to market their under-production film.

On 12 April 2010 he married Sania Mirza in a traditional Hyderabadi Muslim wedding ceremony at the Taj Krishna Hotel in Hyderabad, India, followed by Pakistani wedding customs. Their walima ceremony was held in Shoaib's native Sialkot, Pakistan. Their wedding received media and online attention across the world. The couple announced their pregnancy via social media on 23 April 2018. Their first child, a boy, was born on 30 October 2018. In January of 2024 Mirza's family announced that she had gotten a divorce from Malik a few months prior.

On 19 January 2024, Shoaib married Pakistani TV actress Sana Javed in a private Nikah ceremony at her home in Karachi.
