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.
