Pakistan opening batter Imam-Ul-Haq is all set to tie the knot with Anmol Mehmood, his fiancée from Norway. His wedding festivities kick-started in style with a Qawwali night that took place in Lahore on Thursday, November 23. On a special day in the life of their fellow cricketer, several Pakistani stars attended the ceremony, pictures and videos of which are doing the rounds on social media.
Former Pakistan captains Babar Azam, Sarfaraz Ahmed, Usman Qadir, Kamran Akmal and current Chief Selector Wahab Riaz were also present on the occasion.

In a video that went viral on X (formerly known as Twitter), Babar and Sarfaraz can be seen sitting nearby, but the former was relatively calm.
