Khansa Khan (spouse)
Junaid Khan (Pashto/Urdu: جنید خان; born 24 December 1989, Swabi District) is a Pakistani international cricketer who bowls left arm fast. He is the first player from Swabi to qualify for the Pakistan national cricket team, and his cousin, the leg-spinner Yasir Shah, followed his path later on.
After an injury to Sohail Tanvir on the eve of the 2011 World Cup, Khan was called up as his replacement, with no experience in international cricket. Khan did not play in the tournament, and later made his ODI debut in April 2011. In June that year Khan represented Lancashire County Cricket Club in English domestic cricket.
Junaid Khan is the first son of Zahir khan. In an interview to Aaj News, when he was asked about marriage, he told that he has no plan of getting married at the moment.In late 2012, social media circles circulated rumors that Junaid Khan was a Carpet seller in his hometown. This was later questioned when his cousin claimed their grandfathers collectively own a tobacco business in Swabi, Khans' home town. Junaid has one younger brother, Tahir Khan, and two sisters, Knikhat and Farhat.
Junaid Khan married Khansa Khan in February 2015. Khans' son died on April 28, 2016, he announced the tragic news on twitter.
No cricket had come from Swabi before and Junaid Khan didn't take interest in cricket initially, he played with tape-ball & was introduced to hard ball set up by his cousin. At 16 years age Junaid Khan was measured as the fastest bowler in the NWFP Twenty/20 competition. Junaid Khan said, "Some of my team mates suggested that I should go for the Under 17 trials Abbottabad. I was in two minds but afterwards I was relieved that I attended the trials, as Ehteshamuddin spotted me and told me that I had potential and that I should go to Lahore".
