Shoaib Malik and Sana Javed make a long-awaited public appearance after divorce with Sania Mirza

Sana Javed and Shoaib Malik, who just got married, made their much-awaited public appearance on Saturday. It was their first appearance together. The duo was seen travelling to Multan in advance of the Pakistan Super League's ninth season (PSL 9). This came after Shoaib Mailik's divorce from former Indian tennis player Sania Mirza.

The former captain of Pakistan's cricket team and his spouse, an actress, were seen strolling hand in hand out of Multan Airport late at night in videos that went viral on Geo News. Shoaib, a member of the PSL 9 Karachi Kings roster, is getting ready for Sunday's inaugural game between the team and the Multan Sultans at the Multan Cricket Stadium.

After the famous couple stepped off the plane, they were observed getting into a van, most likely headed to their lodging for the league's first campaign in Multan.

Weeks after Shoaib and Sana shocked fans and followers alike by announcing their marriage in January, the couple made their public appearance. The couple thanked God and cited a passage from the Quran while posting peeks of their wedding celebrations on social media. 

"And We created you in pairs."
