Meanwhile, Shaniera tweeted, &ldquo;Wasim, myself and our boys would like to thank everyone for welcoming our little princess Aiyla into the world. We couldn&rsquo;t be happier.&rdquo;
Wasim has two sons from his first wife Huma, who died five years ago. However, Arsalan said the former pacer will cherish fatherhood even more this time around.
&ldquo;Akram will enjoy fatherhood more this time because when his two sons were born, he was travelling a lot for cricket,&rdquo; the manager said. &ldquo;In fact, Akram was to do commentary (from a studio in India) for the ongoing third Test between India and Australia, but took leave citing family commitments. But he fulfilled his earlier commitments,&rdquo; the manager added.
It is learnt that Wasim&rsquo;s two sons have accompanied the cricket personality to Australia. &ldquo;Taimur and Akbar have Christmas vacations and therefore Akram took them with him to Australia,&rdquo; Arsalan revealed.
