Surely a news that will delight the Pakistani cricket team fans to the fullest. In 2010, it was Shoaib Malik and Sania Mirza hitting the minds of every Pakistani cricket fan and now, its Umar Akmal’s turn to be in the spotlight.
Right-handed batsman Umar Akmal is all set to marry the daughter of former Pakistani cricket team player, leg spin bowler Abdul Qadir. Both the cricketers are bonafied professionals in their own right and in a few months, the two are going to be closer than ever when it comes to family values.
Umar Akmal is the youngest brother of Adnan and Kamran Akmal (both wicket-keepers) and Abdul Qadir has made quite a reputation of being a fantastic leg spinner. Umar Akmal first laid eyes on Abdul Qadir’s daughter Amna in her brother’s wedding function and that was the beginning of something special between the two.
