Pakistani twitterati in frenzy after report of Babar Azam's marriage emerges

Cricketer fans are tweeting and making speculations about Pakistani captain Babar Azam's marriage after a report of him getting hitched emerged on Tuesday.

Azam is set to marry his cousin next year, revealed sources on Tuesday. It has been agreed between the families of the cricketer and his cousin that the two will be married next year, confirmed sources.

The batsman has agreed to marry his paternal uncle's daughter, revealed sources.

Coincidentally, a day earlier, former Pakistan cricket captain Azhar Ali had advised Azam to tie the knot.

Ali was hosting a question-and-answer session on Twitter. A fan asked Ali whether he had any advice for the incumbent skipper to which he responded:

"Shadi ker lay" (get married).
