Pakistan fast bowler Hasan Ali on Tuesday cleared the air on his reported wedding with Indian girl named Shamia Arzoo, saying it is not confirmed yet and there will be a public announcement soon.

The bowler took to Twitter to put an end to the rumours confirming about his marriage.

” just wanna clarify my wedding is not confirmed yet, our families have yet to meet and decide upon it. will make a public announcement very soon in sha allah, (sic)” Ali tweeted.

However, according to a Geo News report, Ali will marry Shamia and the nikkah ceremony will be held on 20 August in Dubai.

The report added Shamia, who works for a private airline, hails from Haryana. She studied engineering from England and lives with her parents in Dubai, with some of the family members in Delhi.

Hasan first met Shamia through a close friend in Dubai, said Geo News quoting family sources.

Hasan, who has played 9 Tests and 53 ODIs, played an instrumental role in Pakistan’s 2017 Champions Trophy triumph. He became the Man of the Tournament and was the Golden Ball Award winner (13 wickets).

However, his form and stock has plummeted in the past few years. The 25-year-old struggled at the World Cup in England and Wales and was dropped from the playing XI midway in the tournament.

Hasan has 82 and 31 wickets against his name in ODIs and Tests, respectively.
