There has been nothing going right at the moment for Pakistan cricket. Former Pakistan cricketer Imad Wasim has been accused of murder and cheating. He has retired from all forms of international cricket and now only appears as a cricket analyst on various talk shows in Pakistan. He will be taking part in the upcoming Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2026 season for Islamabad United.

Ahead of the PSL season, the former Pakistan star has announced his second marriage, with Nyla Raja. On Monday, through an Instagram post, he announced his second marriage. After this announcement, he created controversy as his first wife, Sannia Ashfaq, accused him of child abortion back in 2023, and she has also blasted Islamabad United for picking him in the side.

"I stayed longer than I should have, holding on to hope and trying to protect what mattered most to me. In doing so, I made decisions I regret. My delay and silence contributed to a situation where an innocent person was unfairly judged and subjected to criticism she did not deserve. I take full responsibility for that, and I carry that weight with sincerity and remorse."

"With the grace of Allah and the guidance of my parents, I have now married Nyla. This step was taken thoughtfully and with clear intention, to build a life rooted in peace, stability, and mutual respect. Nyla has brought calm, dignity, and strength into my life, and I stand by this decision with complete conviction."

Imad Wasim to take care of his children

Further stating that he will take care of his children. He stated, "Above everything else, my commitment remains to my children. Fatherhood is not defined only by provision, but by presence, love, and guidance. Despite giving my utmost, I am still unable to see them. My only wish is to be actively and meaningfully involved in their lives, for their well-being and their future."

"I move forward with accountability for my past, respect for everyone involved, and hope for healing, understanding, and peace."

Imad finally concluded saying, "I respectfully ask that my personal life be treated with dignity and privacy. Not everything needs to be debated publicly, and not every chapter needs commentary. Sometimes, the most meaningful way forward is with compassion, restraint, and respect for boundaries."
