Pakistan team sends warm wishes to tearaway pacer Haris Rauf as latter enjoys wedding festivities

The wedding festivities for Pakistan cricketer Haris Rauf and his wife Muzna Masood Malik have already begun in Islamabad in the absence of his teammates. Rauf and Muzna got hitched in December 2022, and their wedding festivities were pre-scheduled for July 2023.

The 29-year-old cricketer had a wonderful wedding in Lahore. Rauf was dressed in a black MNR attire, while his wife was dressed in a crimson Mohsin Naveed Ranjha outfit.

Notably, the wedding festivities began with a qawwali night, which the cricketer attended while dressed in an exquisitely embroidered blue kameez. The bride and groom put on white and looked absolutely stunning.

Unfortunately, the Pakistan cricket team is not present for the celebrations since the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has requested the players to not travel to Islamabad. According to a report in Cricket Pakistan, the board has barred the players from travelling to Islamabad due to unfavourable weather and a lack of flights to return to Karachi.

Though the Pakistan cricket team sent Rauf its best wishes through a video despite not being a part of the festivities. In the video, fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi and skipper Babar Azam can be seen sending their best wishes to their fellow teammate. Notably, Shaheen shared the video and captioned it, "Harry - Shaadi Mubarak! "
