Pakistan’s star cricketer Babar Azam has categorically refused to wear the logos of betting companies on his jersey.

The fourth edition of the LPL will take place from July 30 to August 22. The Colombo Strikers have signed Babar Azam, who will also serve as the team’s captain during the tournament.

The Strikers have signed an agreement with a betting company, but the Pakistani star, who has just returned from Hajj, has refused to wear the company’s logo because betting is forbidden in Islam.

According to reports, the condition was included in the agreement, and the franchise also honored Babar Azam’s decision.

Mr Azam and his opening partner Mohammad Rizwan have returned to Pakistan after performing Hajj. Both will join the training camp in Karachi before the national squad leaves for Sri Lankan for two-match Test series.

Hey Brendan McCullum you don't want to have beer with Aussies team after the Bairstow controversy, how'd you think we lankans feel when you did the dirty deed to out Murali in 2006 Test in NZ. Murali, who was jubilant for Sanga's century walked towards him to congratulate!! And you Brendan did the Odious act!! You're a Hypocrite too, subsequently you're saying sorry can't reverse or change the outcome,!!

Brendan McCullum you MF thinks people have no memory of what you did to Murali that dirty act ended the game for SL as we lost that Test with your act against the spirit of the game, whereas Bairstow contravacy England could've recovered to win the Test.

Hey Brendan McCullum you're a piece of shit just like the Aussies!! You can't pretend that it never happened!! In 2006 in NZ you did the dirty play and that effectively ended the game mind you with Sanga with a century not out who knows we'd won the game or drawn the game!! You can say HUNDRED times sorry but can't reverse what you did, yeah you're scumbag too.
