Azharuddin denies married with Shannon Maire

Former India cricketer Mohammed Azharuddin on Sunday denied reports that he has married for a third time.

“News about my 3rd marriage is incorrect and false. Please check facts before publishing,” he tweeted.

The denial came after a section of media carried reports that Azhar married his friend Shannon Marie, an American citizen.

According to a report in Maharashtra Times, Azhar introduced Shanon as his wife when they visited house of his



driver Jaan Mohammed in Mumbai on Saturday to console the family. The driver recently died.

The 52-year-old was reportedly spotted with Shanon during IPTL match featuring the Indian aces and Phillippine Mavericks in New Delhi.

Azhar, who played 99 Tests and 334 ODIs for India, first married Naureen, with whom he had two sons. In 1996, he divorced her to marry model-turned-actress Sangeeta Bijlani. The couple is believed to have separated in 2010.
