The present controversy however is of a seamier side, as he has been reported to have become a 'home wrecker'. As per the reports appearing in Pakistan, Asif has lured a married woman named Veena, who was the wife of a film actor of Pakistan, Babrak Shah.

It would be one of the seamiest gossips that have emerged from Pakistan, ad it has happened after quite a long time, but it is in continuation of the tradition of the flamboyant reputation that cricketers of Pakistan of the past used to enjoy, be it Imraan Khan, Sarfaraz Nawaz, Mohsin Khan or Majid Khan. All of these players because of the playboy image that they carried had an aura of controversies engulfing their personalities now Mohammed Asif has joined this category. An actor from Pakistan has accused Asif of taking away his wife named Veena, and in sheer frustration, Babrak Shah has divorced his wife in presence of his Asif. Veena is also a TV actress in Pakistan.

Shah informed that he was force to resort to this action as her wife Veena was not amenable to his counseling and continued to pursue her affair with Asif. For Asif his efforts to make a comeback would be seriously hampered after eruption of this controversy. The controversy has serious ramifications owing to the recent attitude that Pakistan team had adopted. It had slowly but surely started adopting the Islamic way of life. It was owing to this reason probably that a player like Shahid Afridi never got involved in any controversy of this kind though his fan following is such that his posters find a pride of place along with film stars and cricket players of India in various parts of India as well.

It is after a long time that anything like this has happened. But can it be viewed from a different perspective, is it indication that the players who are playing cricket for Pakistan have started returning back to the times when their peers like Imraan, Sarfaraz, etc., played who used to play hard and party hard as well? If it is folding up to that scenario, then the controversy associated with Asif may die out eventually, but the players from Pakistan may turn a new leaf. It could be for the good of cricket in Pakistan.
