Legendary Pakistani Cricketer joins with Mia Khalifa for betting app
Despite Pakistan's strict ban on surrogate advertising for betting companies, former cricket legend and all-time leading wicket-taker Wasim Akram has sparked controversy by partnering with India-based betting platform Baji as their brand ambassador.
This partnership has raised concerns due to the legal and ethical implications of such promotions in Pakistan.
Baji, a well-known Sports betting firm, has also enlisted other prominent personalities, including former adult actress Mia Khalifa, English cricket star Kevin Pietersen, and former Argentinian Footballer Gabriel Batistuta. Together, they form a high-profile team aimed at broadening the company’s reach in various markets.
Akram recently took to social media to promote the campaign, sharing a promotional video adorned with Baji’s logo. In the caption, he wrote:
"Join me at Baji for some serious fun and excitement. Let’s enjoy the thrill and make lasting memories together! Can’t wait to share this journey with you! … Win like a King!"
In another post, the former Pakistan captain hinted at his long-standing involvement in the Sports world, stating:
“I’ve had many unforgettable moments in cricket, but the real achievement is creating something that lasts. Join me at … and be part of the journey.”

The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting reaffirmed its commitment to a policy of zero tolerance toward surrogate companies associated with betting houses, urging stakeholders to prevent any promotion of these entities through advertisements during live Sports coverage.
The ministry also issued a warning to all relevant departments, media houses, and companies, prohibiting any agreements with such entities.
