Marriage is the biggest occasion of my life, says Yasir Arafat - Cricket News Update

Pakistani Test cricketer, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Yasir-Arafat-c98241, got married on September 18, 2011, and said that getting married is the biggest occasion of his life.
Apart from the wedding, Arafat claimed that the second biggest event in his life was when he made his International debut for Pakistan back in 2000, against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 at the National Stadium Karachi.
Arafat came through the ranks of junior cricket in Pakistan and a number of cricket analysts rated him as a brilliant all-rounder for the future. He has had a wonderful career of first-class cricket so far, but the cricketer from Rawalpindi
could not showcase his skills at the highest stage of the game.
Ironically, he made his Test debut seven years after playing his first One Day International. Arafat grabbed a five-wicket haul on his debut but that was the only notable performance of his International career.
Arafat said, “Undoubtedly the weekend is the biggest of my life. There have been some huge occasions such as my debut for Pakistan etc but of course marriage is such an important and big occasion.”
The fast bowler has a mammoth 733 first-class wickets at an impressive average of 24.33 runs per scalp and with the best figures of nine for 35, which came in the last domestic season in Pakistan. On top of that, Arafat has four hundreds
and 32 half-centuries as a batsman as well, which speaks volumes of his abilities as an all-round cricketer.
His wedding ceremony was conducted at the historic Oval cricket ground in London, but Arafat is happy that a number of his family members and friends were able to attend the function, which included former Test cricketers, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Saqlain-Mushtaq-c88743,
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Akram-c76621 and many more. The all-rounder requested his fans to pray for his good future.
"I’m really pleased that so many friends and family members will attend the function and I request all of them and my fans around the world to pray for a happy and successful future,” he added.
His performances in the domestic cricket of Pakistan and County cricket should push the national selectors to include him http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 team for the upcoming season.
