Cricketer Shadab Khan, wife welcome first baby girl

(Web Desk): All-rounder Shadab Khan has announced the birth of his first child, a baby girl.

The 26-year-old cricketer shared the joyous news on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday, expressing heartfelt gratitude.

“Grateful beyond words for this blessing. Please keep us in your duas,” Shadab wrote in his post, alongside a photo celebrating the moment.

Shadab tied the knot in 2023 with the daughter of legendary Pakistan spinner Saqlain Mushtaq. His announcement was met with an outpouring of love and congratulatory messages from fans and fellow cricketers across social media.

Since making his debut in 2017, Shadab has been a key figure in Pakistan’s white-ball cricket setup.

Renowned as one of the top leg-spinners in the modern game, he has also made significant contributions with the bat in the lower order, solidifying his place as a dependable all-rounder.

Shadab has represented Pakistan in all three formats, with his greatest impact coming in limited-overs cricket. He also leads Islamabad United in the Pakistan Super League (PSL), where he continues to be one of the standout performers.
