Player Profile: Shoaib Malik Mirza

Shoaib Malik married Sania Mirza, earning his cricket career a second chance. Then he went shopping with Sania for which he had to sit out of a Lord’s test against Australia in 2010.

As a fielder, Malik had a safe pair of hands, though he underachieved as a batsman and did not achieve anything as a captain. He did achieve as a politician, and was nicknamed Deemak (Termite) by Afridi. After this comment he returned to the team.When not playing, he eats away at the woodwork.

In addition to not playing for Pakistan, Malik did not play for the Delhi Daredevils. He now spends his time between the Pak dressing room and his wife’s dressing room.
