Celebrated as one of the greatest left-arm bowlers in the history of cricket by the BBC, Akram's extraordinary talent and skill have garnered him a massive following in Pakistan. His crucial role in Pakistan's historic victory over England on March 25, 1992, at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Australia solidified his status as a cricketing legend.

Shaniera Thompson is a prominent social activist living in Australia. She tied the knot with Wasim Akram on August 12, 2013.

Wasim and Shaniera's love story started in 2011 when they first crossed paths at a friend's BBQ in Melbourne.

The couple swapped contact details and started chatting through texts and phone calls. Wasim Akram provided interesting perspectives on Pakistani culture, while Shaniera talked about her Australian roots. This sharing of information eventually set the stage for their growing romantic relationship.

Wasim Akram and Shaniera Thompson tied the knot on August 12, 2013, after nearly two years of dating in a private ceremony. At the time, Wasim was 47 years old, while Shaniera was 30. Their significant 17-year age gap drew attention from the international media, but as time passed, any controversy regarding their relationship diminished.

Shaniera chose to learn Urdu and convert to Islam to be with her partner, Wasim Akram. This shows her dedication to their relationship and her openness to embracing his culture and beliefs.

Shaniera Akram corrected false information on social media by calling out a page for spreading misinformation about her. She re-shared the post by 'Out Of Context Cricket' and criticized them for not providing accurate and reliable information. “Hey @GemsOfCricket. You guys are definitely ‘out of context’ and from what I can see, you’re also out of correct and reliable information!”
