LAHORE: Pakistan cricket team all rounder, who is married to Indian tennis star Sania Mirza, on Friday said his child will neither have Pakistani nor Indian nationality. The cricketer added that he would rather want he/she have nationality of some other country.

Malik further added he has taken permission from the team to be with his wife during the time of birth.

“I have taken permission from the team management to remain with my wife at the time of birth,” he told the media at the Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore.

The 36-year-old said he can’t wait to become a father. He appealed to his fans to pray for his wife and baby at this special moment.

Earlier, in an interview, the Tennis star revealed that her baby will have Malik-Mirza as surname.

“I will tell you a secret. My husband and I have spoken about it and we have decided that whenever we have a child, the child will have Mirza Malik as a surname and not just Malik. So that’s where we stand as a family including my husband. He actually wants a daughter,” Sania had said.

“I have not changed my surname (post marriage) and my name is still Sania Mirza and it will remain that way. The family name is going to go forward,” she said.
