Pakistani cricketers refuse to display betting and gambling advertisement on their shirts in County Cricket.

County has signed a two-year deal with Dafa Bet as an official partner, under which the betting company will put ther logo on shirt collars of the players in all three formats.

Dafa Bet had sponsored Pakistan cricket many times under the name of Dafa News by resorting to surrogate advertising, but after the strictness of the government, surrogate advertising has been stopped in domestic cricket and Pakistan Super League (PSL).

National cricketers had already made their position clear to county authorities. Pakistani cricketers in all teams are away from surrogate advertising, alcohol, pork or adult entertainment advertising.

The English cricket board and counties take care of the religious sentiments of foreign players, refusing to advertise controversial content, but with no cuts in pay. In the past, many players from other countries have also refused to advertise with alcohol and gambling companies, South Africa’s Hashim Amla was the foremost among them.
