ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Pakistani cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan and his wife, Reham Khan, have filed for divorce, they said on Friday, ending a whirlwind romance that captivated international tabloids and Pakistani voters.

Imran Khan, who captained the Pakistan team when it won the Cricket World Cup in 1992, tied the knot with the former BBC journalist in a low-key ceremony in January.
