LAHORE: Pakistan all-rounder Faheem Ashraf is set to tie the knot later this month on November 25.
According to sources, Faheem’s mehendi will take place on November 23, followed by the wedding on November 25 and the valima a day later.
The wedding will take place in Narowal while the valima reception will be held in Faheem’s hometown, Phool Nagar.
The left-hander has played 16 Tests, 34 ODIs and 48 T20Is over the course of his career for Pakistan. He made his T20I and ODI debut in 2017, while his first appearance in the Test format came in 2018.
