Getting in close ties with foreigners gets important for the cricketers who are near to their retirement since after their retirement their sole earning depends on playing counting and doing commentaries in games. It is the time when the news items of relationships stir and sometimes end up in marital relations.

The sport celebrities face several criticisms and oppositions mostly from the families and countries where they decide to marry a girl from. In forms of scandals news items about the relationships begin to appear sometimes unfolding the hidden truths or aimed at defaming the two in love. Women are among the critics, the fan followers who oppose the trend of getting married to someone not of one’s nationality or religion.

Shoaib and the Indian tennis star got married in 2010 after being friends and confessing to their relationship. Likewise Pakistani South African player got married to an Indian woman in SA. In the year 1995 legendary cricketer Imran Khan married to British woman Jemima who was the daughter of the well to-do British businessman goldsmith.

47 year old legendary bowler Wasim Akram entered into second marriage with Australian based 30 year old public relation officer Shaniera Thompson. After the death of his wife Huma, from whom he has two sons, Wasim decided to marry the lady after being in love with her. They got married last week while the reception is expected to hold in the upcoming months of the following year. Wasim got married to Huma in the year 1995 but due to her kidney failure she couldn’t survive.

It is worthwhile here to mention that there had been scandals and news about the affair of  the legend with the Bollywood beauty Sushmita but Akram had never talked about getting married to her or having relationship with her.
