(MENAFN- Live Mint) Former Pakistan cricket captain Shoaib Malik is once again in the spotlight, this time over reports of trouble in his marriage with actress Sana Javed.

According to Pakistani media reports, Malik and Sana, who tied the knot in early 2024, are allegedly going through a rough patch and may soon announce their separation. The two have not issued any official statement yet.

Malik, who was earlier married to Indian tennis star Sania Mirza for 14 years, confirmed his marriage to Sana Javed in January 2024, taking many fans by surprise. Over the past couple of years, Sana was often spotted in the stands cheering for Malik during Pakistan Super League (PSL) matches. However, speculation about their relationship began after a video of the couple went viral.

In the clip, Malik is seen signing autographs while Sana looks away, with the two avoiding any interaction. This sparked rumours of a rift, although some fans dismissed it as a regular marital disagreement.
