Cricket Australia has agreed to a request by Muslim leg-spinner Fawad Ahmed not to wear the sponsorship logo of beer brand VB because of his faith's ban on alcohol
Pakistan-born Fawad Ahmed, who became an Australian citizen in July after his application was fast-tracked, did not have the brewer's logo on his shirt during his international debut in last week's T20 matches against England.
Mike McKenna, Cricket Australia's executive general manager for operations, said Tuesday the player first raised the issue when he was selected for the Australia A tour of Britain in June.
