Former Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik has divorced his first wife Ayesha Siddiqui, ahead of his planned marriage to Indian tennis player Sania Mirza.
Shams Babar, a friend of the Siddiqui family, said Malik had acknowledged his marriage to Ayesha despite earlier denials.
“Both Shoaib and Ayesha have signed the divorce papers today,” says Babar.
The Siddiqui family last week filed a police complaint against Malik over his plans to wed Mirza.
