Wasim Akram to marry Australian PR consultant Shaniera Thompson

Former Pakistani cricket team captain Wasim Akram is reportedly engaged with Australian Shaniera Thompson on Monday.

The 30-year-old Shaniera Thompson who has converted to Islam to marry Akram, is a former public relations consultant from Melbourne.

“He (Akram) asked me what my dream proposal would be and I said I’m not the type of woman that likes a big scene. I would want it to be at home or somewhere private. He was really sweet about it. Then I came into the lounge room and he was on his knee and asked me if I’d marry him,” Shaniera was quoted saying.

Akram lost his first wife Huma in 2009 due to a cardiac arrest. He has two sons.

“I never thought I would get married again, but I am lucky and very happy to find love again. It just goes to show that life can give you a second chance,” Akram was quoted as saying.
