Born on October 1, 1985, Mumtaz was brought up in Karachi only, and she also did her graduation from the very same city. Apart from being a former cricketer and a TV host, Mumtaz is a dentist as well. She has put quite a few pictures on her Instagram where she is seen treating her patients.
Mumtaz completed her graduation from Fatima Jinnah Dental College in Karachi, whereas she did her Master’s of Medicine in Restorative Dentistry from the University of Sheffield. It is certainly a rare combination as most of the cricketers in Pakistan or anywhere else are not that well academically sound. It has to be said that Mumtaz is quite an all-rounder in real life as well.
