After their much-hyped marriage in Sialkot, the newly-married Sania Mirza and her husband Shoaib Malik returned to India and have been living in Hyderabad for the last few days.

Malik, who is facing a ban from international cricket, decided to use the time on his hands fruitfully by practicing in the nets at the Jaem Khana Ground in Secunderabad.

He was seen batting in the nets during practice with local cricketers.

While, Malik was working at regaining his lost touch in the nets, Sania, was seen patiently waiting for husband outside the ground.

After winding up the training session and sweating it out in the heat, Shoaib went to meet some local woman cricketers.

Malik greeted the women cricketers, who looked coy and excited all at one time. The girls used the opportunity to click pictures and take autographs from the former Pakistan captain.
