Has Wasim Akram divorced his Australian wife?

KARACHI: Former Pakistan pacer Wasim Akram’s wife Shaniera grabbed the spotlight after she hit back at a troll account on social media regarding their divorce.

A page on X (formerly Twitter) shared a post, featuring some of the great cricketers, who have been legally separated from their spouses and termed it the “Divorced XI”.

The post included the likes of India legends Ravi Shastri, Javagal Srinath, Dinesh Karthik, Shikhar Dhawan, while spinner Yuzvendra Chahal was named as the impact player. Apart from them, Akram was also named in this list, which left his wife Shaniera fuming.

Re-sharing the post by “Out Of Context Cricket”, Shaniera slammed the page and called them out for spreading false information.

Are Govinda, Sunita parting ways after 37 years of marriage?

“Hey @GemsOfCricket. You guys are definitely “out of context” and from what I can see you’re also out of correct and reliable information!” wrote Shaniera.
