WEB DESK: Joy and celebration filled the home of Pakistan’s T20I vice-captain Shadab Khan as he and his wife Malaika welcomed their first child, a baby girl, into the world on Saturday.
The proud father took to Instagram to share the heartwarming news with fans, posting a touching photo collage on his social media: one frame showing the couple together with the baby girl, and another capturing a tender moment — their newborn daughter’s tiny foot cradled gently in her parents’ hands.

“Alhamdulillah, Allah has blessed us with our first child, a beautiful daughter,” Shadab wrote in his post. “Grateful beyond words for this blessing. Please keep us in your duas as we begin this new journey.”
The moment was just as special for cricketing great and new grandfather Saqlain Mushtaq, who expressed his joy on social media:
“The biggest blessing has arrived — Alhamdulillah, I’m officially a Grandad! My heart is fuller than ever, and I can’t wait for all the cuddles, stories, and adventures ahead.”
The cricketing community quickly rallied around the couple with warm wishes. Fellow players and friends extended heartfelt congratulations to the all-rounder, who has long been a fan favorite both for his on-field energy and off-field humility.
Shadab and Malaika’s journey together began with a private nikah ceremony in 2023, a union that quietly captured public attention. At the time, Shadab respectfully asked fans for privacy as the couple embarked on their life together, calling it a “new chapter” and asking for prayers and kindness.
