His father in-law Shahid took to Twitter to confirm the nuptial bond.

“Daughter is the most beautiful flower of your garden because they blossom with great blessing. A daughter is someone you laugh with, dream with, and love with all your heart. As parent, I gave my daughter in Nikkah to @iShaheenAfridi, congratulations to the two of them,” he wrote on Twitter.

Shahid Afridi also shared a reply of the wedding invitation by Pakistan Prime minister Shehbaz Sharif who wished the newly wedded couple. “Truly appreciate your kind words @CMShehbaz for my daughter and her significant other as they enter this new fold of their life. Do remember us in your prayers,” Afridi captioned the post.

Shaheen Afridi, who suffered a knee injury last year, has been sweating it out in the nets, to regain full fitness ahead of PSL 8.

Speaking about his rehabilitation program, Afridi said, “There were times when I wanted to give up. I was working on only one muscle and it was not improving. Often during the rehabilitation sessions, I used to say to myself ‘this is enough, I cannot do this anymore.”

“But then I used to watch my bowling on YouTube and see how well I had done and that motivated me and I told myself ‘to push a little more’ … It is frustrating for a fast bowler to miss cricket because of an injury,” he said on YouTube.
