Having a life partner interested in sports-related events is a fantasy for all athletes; with common interests and passion, it is indeed wonderful to bond with each other who serve in similar fields.
To everyone’s surprise, there are a few cricketers who have married sports anchors. The most recent addition to the list is India’s bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, who married famous sports presenter Sanjana Ganesan on March 15.
Shane Watson
The retired Australian all-rounder married Lee Furlong, an Australian TV host. Lee Furlong began her career as a sports anchor-woman, and her relationship with Watson began in 2006.
The couple married ten years ago on June 3rd, 2010, and they now have two daughters. Shane Watson was a core member of the World Cup-winning squads in 2007 and 2015. The couple has frequently worked for social causes, with Lee recently working as the Mcgrath Foundation’s ambassador.
