Shoaib Malik, Pakistan’s former captain, embarked on a new chapter, with his third marriage to Lollywood star Sana Javed but he remained in hot waters and even sparked match-fixing accusation during the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League.
Days after announcing his third marriage, the prolific hitter left midway through BPL as he returned to Dubai.
The 41-year-old made headlines after hitting three no-balls in a single over during the fixture against Khulna Tigers in the ongoing league.
After Malik’s quick exit, the BPL franchise abruptly terminated his contract for the remaining matches.
Reports shared online linked Malik’s contract termination with match-fixing accusations.
Later, the Barishal media manager dismissed media reports. The franchise official said Malik was looking to return but his second comeback was not accepted under the current circumstances that led to the termination of the contract.
Pakistani cricketer himself turned down media reports, citing personal commitments in UAE and that he wanted to return and play, but BPL administration decided otherwise.
