Pakistan’s white-ball cricket captain, Babar Azam has told his English county, Somerset that he would not display the logo of any alcohol beverage company on his shirt during the ongoing T20 Blast event in England.
Babar, who joined Somerset after Pakistan’s tour ended on Tuesday, was seen wearing a shirt which had the logo of an alcohol company on his back.
Not surprisingly, it led to some backlash in the social media but a source close to the Pakistan captain confirmed he had made it clear in his contract with Somerset he would not promote any alcohol company logo.
“Apparently the logo was on the back of Babar’s shirt by mistake and the county has assured him it will be removed for the next match, the source said.
Babar in his first appearance for Somerset scored 42 runs and took a stunning catch to lead his team to a 16-run victory.
