Former Pakistan cricketer Imad Wasim’s wife, Sannia Ashfaq, has revealed the reason behind the couple’s divorce, alleging third-party involvement. Imad and Sannia publicly announced their separation through their social media handles.

The duo got married on 26 August 2019 in Islamabad and have three children together. Taking to social media, Sannia expressed her grief, saying that her home has been broken.

She mentioned that she remained committed as a wife and mother to preserve her family despite difficulties, but third-party involvement eventually led to their divorce. Sannia also made the shocking claim that someone wants to marry Imad.

“I am writing this from a place of deep pain. My home has been broken, and my children have been left without their father. I am a mother of three, including a five-month-old infant who has yet to be held by his father. This is not a story I wished to share, but silence should never be mistaken for weakness," she wrote on her Instagram handle.

“Like many marriages, ours had difficulties, yet it continued to exist. I remained committed as a wife and mother and made sincere efforts to preserve our family. What ultimately ended this marriage was the involvement of a third party, whose intention was to marry my husband, which became the final blow to an already struggling union," she added.

Will continue to care for my children: Imad

Imad also took to social media to announce their divorce, stating that the marriage ended due to repeated conflicts, and urged everyone not to believe in any misleading narratives.

“After much thought, and due to repeated conflicts that could not be resolved over the past few years, I have filed for divorce. Regarding the children, I remain their father and will continue to care for them fully and responsibly. Thank you for your understanding and respect. I request everyone not to engage in or believe any misleading narratives. Any attempt to defame or involve others in this personal matter will be addressed through the proper legal channels if necessary," wrote Imad on his Instagram handles.

Wasim announced his international retirement for the second time in December 2024, after reversing his decision to play in the T20 World Cup 2024, where he featured in three matches. He represented Pakistan in 55 ODIs and 75 T20Is, scoring 1,540 runs with six half-centuries to his name. The left-arm spinner also accounted for 117 wickets for Pakistan, including two five-wicket hauls. He was also a part of Pakistan’s victorious campaign in the ICC Champions Trophy 2017.
