ISLAMABAD: Reeling from the men’s national cricket team’s early World Cup exit, Pakistani sports fans have found a reason to celebrate after left-hand opening batter Imam Ul Haq announced his marriage to Anmol Mehmood on Saturday and shared their dazzling photographs on social media.
Haq, the nephew of retired Pakistani international cricketer Inzamam Ul Haq, held a series of exciting pre-wedding festivities that started in Norway and spanned several days, involving his teammates and other celebrities.
The celebrations included a musical night in Lahore, where the couple, dressed in traditional attire, captured the spotlight.
Their images were also prominently featured by media outlets across the country.
Haq’s nikah ceremony took place earlier today, after which he shared pictures with his bride on social media.
“Today, we’ve not only become partners for life but have also solidified the bond of best friendship, which has always been the foundation of our love story,” he wrote on X. “Today, I not only married my best friend, but also found my forever home in your heart. Keep us in your prayers.”

Local media reports that Haq’s valima reception, set for tomorrow, Sunday, is expected to be attended by notable figures including former Pakistani skipper Babar Azam, leading batter Mohammad Rizwan and others.
Haq first made his mark in Pakistan’s ODI squad during the 2017 series against Sri Lanka, scoring a century in his debut match and earning the player of the match title.
However, his performance in the last World Cup in India didn’t meet expectations, with Pakistan finishing fifth in the 10-team tournament.
