Sania Mirza and husband Shoaib Malik were recently blessed with a baby boy. Veteran Pakistan batsman Shoaib Malik took to Twitter to announce that they have named the boy, Izhaan Mirza-Malik. However, Shoaib Malik, who is a key member of his national team, had to return to duty with Pakistan hosting New Zealand in a two-match Twenty20 International (T20I) series. On Saturday, Sania Mirza took to Twitter to post a series of pictures of her spending some adorable time with her new born baby and while also watching Shoaib Malik don the green of Pakistan.
In the first picture, Izhaan, who is hardly a week old can be seen looking at the television to watch his "baba" Shoaib Malik bat.

Sania and Shoaib were blessed with the baby boy on October 30, with the Pakistan cricketer announcing the same on Twitter. The couple, who got married on April 12, 2010, had confirmed the pregnancy news on April 23.
The 31-year-old tennis star had earlier said that the child would bear surnames of both of them.
There was good news for Shoaib on the professional front with Pakistan living up to their billing as the world's best Twenty20 team with a six-wicket victory over New Zealand in Dubai on Friday, clinching the two-match series 2-0.
Mohammad Hafeez (34 not out) and Shoaib Malik (10) added 34 quickfire runs to help Pakistan overhaul the 154-run target in 19.4 overs at Dubai stadium, winning their 11th consecutive series and eighth successive T20I match.
