Former left-arm pacer Wasim Akram became a father for a third time on Sunday as he and his wife Shaniera Akram welcomed a baby girl.
The news was announced by Akram’s manager in a Facebook post early on Sunday.
Akram, who has two sons from his first wife, had announced in September that he and Shaniera were expecting their first child together. They are currently in Australia.
They had also sought suggestions for the baby names on micro-blogging website, Twitter.
Having married to Shaniera last August, Akram had told Hindustan Times earlier in December that he was excited about becoming a father again. “I think I’ll enjoy fatherhood more this time around; when my sons were born, I was travelling a lot for cricket.”
