Wasim's Akram wife Huma buried



Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram's wife Huma, who passed away at a Chennai hospital, was laid to rest.

Body of Huma, 42, who breathed her last at the Apollo Hospital in India, was flown back to Pakistan, where Akram's former team-mates Inzamam-ul-Haq, Mushtaq Ahmed, Ijaz Ahmed, Moin Khan and Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Ijaz Butt joined the mourning.

Huma was hospitalised on October 20 after her condition deteriorated, when an air ambulance flying her to Singapore from Lahore halted at ! the Chennai airport for a scheduled refuelling.

She was put on ventilator support after multiple organ failure and her condition had remained critical since her admission.

Besides Akram, Huma is also survived by two sons - Akbar and Taimur.
