Pakistan cricketer Shoaib Malik has withdrawn from the upcoming T10 league to spend time with wife Sania Mirza and new-born son Izhaan.
The right-handed batsman took to Twitter to make the announcement.
I announce with mixed feelings that I will be not be part of @PunjabiLegends_ #T10League to spend time with my family. This was a tough decision (sp since my wife thinks I should play) but I want to be with my wife and son more than anything else. Hope you all will understand 🤗

Malik is a regular member of Pakistan’s limited-overs setup. He recently played a crucial role in his side’s triumph in the ODI series against New Zealand. Malik and Mirza announced the birth of their son Izhaan through Twitter last month.
Thank you from the bottom of our heart to everyone for the wishes from Sania and I, and our families.
