Praveen Kumar to marry childhood friend Sapna in Meerut

MEERUT - Indian pace bowler Praveen Kumar will tie the nuptial knot with his childhood friend Sapna Chaudhary at a ceremony to be held here on Thursday.

The two recently got engaged on November 7.

Interacting with the mediapersons, Vinay Kumar, brother of Praveen Kumar, said that the entire function would be a simple affair.

“The main thing is that Praveen does not like too much of pomp and show. Nor does he appreciate showing off. The whole function would be very simple. We are paying special attention so that our relatives, guests and friends do not have to face any hassles,” said Vinay Kumar.

About 3,000 people are supposed to attend the wedding.

The date was finalised as November 18, keeping in mind the upcoming One Day International (ODI) series against the touring New Zealand team that starts from December 1.

Most of the Indian cricketers are likely to miss the wedding, as team India will face New Zealand in the third and final test on November 20. (ANI)
