Shoaib Malik is Still A Spring Chicken, Says Sania Mirza

Shoaib Malik might be in the twilight of his long international career, but his wife Sania Mirza definitely does not think so.

The former Pakistan skipper made his debut way back in 1999 during the ODI against West Indies.

Over the years, he remained an integral part of the team across formats. He started his career as an off-spinner but soon improved his batting and became a batting allrounder.

During his long career, Malik played the role of a top-order batsman, middle-order batsman, bowler, captain and more.

In 2015, he retired from Test cricket and has been playing limited-overs cricket since then.

At 36, he is now on the verge of bidding goodbye to the game but it is safe to say that he is still going strong.

The fact that he is one of the most important batsmen in Pakistan’s T20 side, a format where youngsters are preferred.

And it became very much clear when the 17-year old Shaheen Afridi made his debut in the third Twenty20 International against Windies. Afridi was born in 2000, a year after Malik made his international debut.

And as expected, the interesting co-incident caused quite a stir on Twitter. Among many, one Sri Lankan was quick to point it out.

But Sania was not ready to accept it and came up with a hilarious reaction. Calling her husband Shoaib Malik a spring chicken, she tweeted: “?? common.. my husband is still a spring chicken ? #longevity @realshoaibmalik #mashaAllah.”
