Former Pakistan cricketers Mohammad Amir and Kamran Akmal have taken legal action against a cricket bat company – Tazwin Sports for deceptive conduct during their stint in the Aussie Cricket League (ACL).
The two former cricketers decided to take part in the event in 2022, which aims at changing the landscape of cricket in the suburbs of Melbourne.
The duo has sued the cricket gear manufacturer based in Melbourne’s western suburbs, alleging that Tazwin Sports used unauthorized photos of Kamran and Amir in their promotional material on their website.
The photos were edited to showcase the cricketers holding Tazwin Sports’ bats, and the company branded them as “PROUD TAZ-WINNERS.” In the process, Tazwin Sports reportedly removed the name of another ACL sponsor, Exclusive Migration, from the Pakistan team’s shirts.
In a statement released by the two Pakistan cricketers, a certain number of bats were delivered by the gear manufacturer during the tournament but their fee was not paid.
