Meet Aaqib Javed, who played more than 150 ODIs for the country, was once Pakistan's lead bowler and also led the team to victory in many matches. Due to the presence of bowlers like Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis, he was always overlooked in the eyes of the fans. He made his first class debut at the age of 12. Aaqib was born in a Sandhu Jat family living in Sheikhpura, Pakistan. He made his first class debut in 1984 at the age of only 12, playing for the Lahore Division team. Aaqib made his ODI debut in December 1988 against West Indies. He made his Test debut in February 1989 against New Zealand in Wellington at the age of 16 years and 189 days.

Aaqib Javed fell in love with her at first sight, after which Aaqib proposed to her and only after she said yes, they started trying for marriage. There were many problems in Aaqib's marriage. Because Farzana came from a traditional Pathan family, where girls cannot talk about their marriage, while Aaqib was a non-Pathan. Here Aaqib got the advantage of being a cricketer. Actually Farzana's father was a big fan of cricket, that is why when he came to know that the boy is a cricketer, he immediately agreed to this marriage. Aaqib Javed's wife's name is Farzana who is the sister of famous Pakistani singer Adil Burki. Farzana was raised in Lahore, Pakistan. She completed her education in Pakistan as well as Canada. She has worked as a journalist in major Urdu and English newspapers of Pakistan. Farzana also worked as a youth leader for the Human Rights Commission in Pakistan.

Spy Case: Jyoti Malhotra To Remain In Jail As Court Rejects Her Bail Plea
Last Updated: Malhotra, who ran "Travel with JO" on YouTube, is accused of being an asset for Pakistani intelligence. A Haryana court on Wednesday denied bail to social media influencer Jyoti Malhotra, who was arrested on suspicion of espionage last month. Hisar Police arrested Malhotra on suspicion of espionage on May 16 and she was subsequently remanded to five days of police custody by the court. Following the completion of the remand, the court extended the custody by four more days after the police sought to question her further. On May 26, the court remanded her to judicial custody for 14 days. Why Was Jyoti Malhotra Arrested? Malhotra was arrested at the New Aggarsain Extension and booked under provisions of the Official Secrets Act and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. The police have claimed Pakistani intelligence operatives were developing Malhotra as an asset. Police sources had previously said she was in touch with Ehsan-ur-Rahim alias Danish, a staffer at the Pakistani High Commission, since November 2023. India expelled Danish on May 13 for allegedly indulging in espionage. Who Is Jyoti Malhotra? Malhotra, who hails from Hisar, ran a YouTube channel 'Travel with JO". The 33-year-old influencer has 377k subscribers on YouTube and 132k followers on Instagram. The video is mostly of her roaming the streets and describing her experience as an Indian walking the streets of Lahore. But, it also shows that she is surrounded by gunmen armed with AK-47s, and she was followed by the security cover wherever she visited. At one point, officials even blocked traffic movement for her convenience. First Published: June 11, 2025, 16:32 IST
