An Urdu channel of Pakistan reported that Shoaib has tied the knot with a teenage girl named Rubab who was just 17 in a quiet Nikah ceremony in Haripur on Wednesday. The TV channel reported that Akhtar married Rubab in a secret Nikah ceremony which was hardly attended by less than fifty persons including close family members. As per reports, the 39-year-old star player visited his hometown of Rawalpindi on June 12 along with his family members in order to finalise preparation and dates of the marriage.

The 39-year-old cricketer had earlier this month refuted the reports regarding his impending marriage saying he was unaware about such news circulating on local media.Akthar has been involved in several controversies during his career, often accused of not being a team player but his presence was always felt by the opponents.
