“Hey @GemsOfCricket. You guys are definitely ‘out of context’ and from what I can see, you’re also out of correct and reliable information!”

The Truth About Wasim Akram’s Personal Life

Contrary to the false claims, Wasim Akram has been happily married to Shaniera Thompson since 2013.

• First Marriage: Akram was previously married to Huma Mufti in 1995. The couple had two sons, but Huma tragically passed away in 2009 due to multiple organ failure at a Chennai hospital.
• Current Marriage: In 2013, Akram married Australia-born Shaniera Thompson, whom he met in Melbourne. They welcomed a daughter in 2014 and have been leading a happy life together.

Pakistan’s Champions Trophy Exit Adds to the Drama

While social media was buzzing with Shaniera’s response, Pakistan cricket faced another major setback. Mohammad Rizwan’s team suffered back-to-back defeats against New Zealand and India, leading to an early exit from the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

In their must-win clash against India, Pakistan struggled against Virat Kohli’s masterclass, eventually losing by six wickets.

Final Thoughts

Shaniera Akram’s swift response highlights the growing trend of misinformation on social media. As the Champions Trophy campaign ended in disappointment for Pakistan, Wasim Akram’s wife had her own battle to fight—against fake news!
