\n Islamabad
\nPakistan\u2019s mystery spinner Abrar Ahmed began a new chapter in his life on Saturday as he tied the knot in a ceremony held in Karachi.
\nAccording to media reports, the 27-year-old cricketer, whose nikah had already taken place earlier, brought his bride home on Saturday evening. His Valima reception is scheduled to be held in the city on Monday.
\nEarlier in the day, a video of the national player went viral on social media, showing Abrar surrounded by friends celebrating to the beat of drums outside a local marriage banquet.
\nAbrar\u2019s wedding festivities, however, began on Friday night with a \u2018mehndi\u2019 ceremony, the glimpses of which also went viral on social media, featuring the spinner dressed in a green shalwar kameez.
\nFor the unversed, Abrar, who made his international debut for Pakistan in 2022, has thus far represented the Green Shirts in 10 Tests, 11 ODIs and 23 T20Is, having taken 93 wickets across formats, including two five-wicket hauls, both of which came in the longest format.
\nAbrar was also a part of the Pakistan team that made it to the final of the recently concluded ACC Men\u2019s T20 Asia Cup 2025, where they suffered a five-wicket defeat at the hands of arch-rivals India.
\nHe was also named in the Pakistan squad for the two-match home Test series against South Africa, scheduled to get underway in Lahore on October 12.
\nTo fine-tune their skills for the upcoming assignment, the national cricketers are participating in the training camp in Lahore, which is underway until October 8, with Abrar expected to rejoin shortly after his Valima reception.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
