A devastating personal tragedy has struck Pakistani fast bowler Junaid Khan, who has lost his first child.
The 24-year-old took to social media to share the tragic news.

The pacer had earlier shared the news about his wife being hospitalised and asked everyone to pray for her speedy recovery.

Here are some of them:
A couple of days back, an image of a girl wearing a pink dress, covered by rose petals went viral on social media. A rumour started doing the rounds that it was former Pakistan skipper Shahid Afridi's child. Soon the rumour went viral. It later emerged that Asmara, Afridi's daughter, had been hospitalised and undergone surgery. The rumours, luckily, died down and it has been confirmed that Asmara is alive and recovering.
