Pakistan’s mysterious spinner started a new chapter in his life, reportedly with Amna Rahimby formally concluding his wedding ceremony in Karachi on Saturday, October 4.

The wedding festivities were elaborate and started the previous night, Friday, with a lively ‘Mehndi’ ceremony. A glimpse of the cricketer dressed in a traditional green shalwar Kameez during the mehndi delighted fans on social media platforms, which were quickly filled with messages of congratulations and well-wishes for the couple.
The excitement continued on Saturday when a video went viral showing Abrar surrounded by close friends and family celebrating outside the wedding hall. The clip captured the lively atmosphere as the group danced enthusiastically to the beat of drums. The last official ceremony, the wedding reception (Valima), was scheduled for Monday in Karachi and was heavily attended. Remarkably, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chair Mohs naqvi attended the reception ceremony, alongside national team players such as Sheen Africa.

Abrar’s cricket journey and returns to national duty for Pakistan
Abrar’s wedding comes during a brief lull in his demanding international career. Since making his debut for Pakistan in 2022, the spinner has quickly established himself as a key figure, having represented the country in 10 Tests, 11 ODIs and 23 T20Is. His consistency and wicket-taking are reflected in his tally of 93 wickets in all three formats, a figure that includes two impressive five-wicket hauls in Test cricket. His recent form saw him in the ACC Men’s T20 Asia Cup 2025where Pakistan’s side reached the final before eventually losing to arch-rivals India.
Despite the ongoing personal celebrations, Abrar’s national obligation remains immediate. He has been named in the Pakistan squad for the next two-match Home Test Series against South Africawhich is scheduled to start on October 12 in Lahore. To fine-tune their skills for this crucial assignment, the national cricketers are currently participating in a training camp in Lahore, scheduled to last until October 8. Abrar is expected to rejoin the national training camp shortly after his Valima reception on Monday, making a seamless transition from wedding festivities back to preparing for the Test series against a strong South African side.
