ISLAMABAD: All-rounder Shoaib Malik on Friday said that his soon-to-be-born child will neither take up the Pakistani nor the Indian nationality.

The journalist had asked: “Since you say that we are soon going to be chacha(uncle) of a nephew or niece, could we know what nationality would he/she hold?”

To this, Malik responded that “if you were a real chacha, you would not be asking such a question (laughs)”.

“It does not matter what nationality my child will take up. Maybe it matters to the media, but it does not to us whether he/she will be a Pakistani or Indian. However, my child would take up a third and alternate nationality,” the all-rounder further said.
