Wasim Akram set to marry Shaniera Thompson

Heartening news for all Wasim Akram fans – he has made the decision to marry Australian girlfriend Shaniera Thompson later next year. Showing off his romantic side, he is said to have gone down on one knee to propose to her.

Shaniera Thompson is a former public relations consultant based in Melbourne. She has already converted to Islam and is reportedly willing to move and settle in Pakistan.

“Yes, I will marry next year and I’ve known Shaniera for the last one-and-a-half years and she has converted to Islam,” Wasim said.

“I feel lucky that I have got a second chance in life.”

Wasim’s wife Huma died of a heart attack in 2009, and he has many well-wishers backing this decision.
