5 cricketers who married their relatives

5) Mosaddek Hossain – Sharmin Samira Usha

The Bangladesh cricket is in safe hands and the gifted youngster, Mosaddek Hossain can vouch for it. He has a tremendous record in the domestic arena and showed his glimpses of talent in the recently concluded World Cup. He is the only batsmen in the country to score 3 double-centuries in the first-class cricket.

Hossain is equally adept at tackling pace and spin and can play shots all around the park. With the seniors of the team getting into the other side of ’30s, he is surely a prospect in the coming years. His professional career is going to reach a new high but the situation is quite the opposite in his personal life.

In 2012 at a tender age of 16, he got married to his cousin, Sharmin Samira. It was all rosy till last year and then suddenly he was in the news for all the wrong reasons. He was accused of harassing his wife over dowry. She pressed charged against him and he almost lost his place in the squad. The family relations might have hit rock bottom as the couple has parted ways.

These players have done marital commitments within blood relations and most of them have found the right life partners.
