Who is Tamim Iqbal’s wife Ayesha Siddiqui?

Tamim married Ayesha in 2013 and now the couple has two children. They dated for a long time after they decided to say ‘yes’ to each other. A website reported that Tamim had sent a friendship request to Ayesha when she was very young. Reportedly Ayesha was then only 15 years old and the friendship began with the request being accepted. However, the first time Tamim sent the request, Ayesha declined the request. But Tamim finally won her heart.

Initially, Tamim’s wife was not a big fan of cricket. Being from Bangladesh, which is also a football producing country, he was more interested in football. However, as Tamim grew closer she became her husband’s eldest and cricket became her first love as far as watching the game was concerned.

After their marriage, Tamim and Ayesha welcomed their first child, named Mohd Arham Iqbal, in February 2016. In November 2019, Tamim Iqbal and wife Ayesha welcomed their second child – a daughter named Alishaba Iqbal Khan.

Tamim is arguably the greatest batsman Bangladesh has ever produced, having scored over 15,000 international centuries. Indian fans especially remember him for his brilliant half-century against Rahul Dravid & Co. in the ODI World Cup 2007 in the West Indies. Bangladesh had a famous win over India in the group stage.
