Pakistani Cricket Legend Embroiled in Controversy: Wasim Akram Named in NCCIA Complaint for Promoting Baji App
Former Pakistani cricket captain Wasim Akram has landed himself in hot water, being named in a complaint by the National Consumer Complaints Inquiry Agency (NCCIA) for promoting a foreign betting platform,
Baji App. The complaint centers around Akram's role as brand ambassador for the platform, which the NCCIA claims is a violation of various anti-gambling laws in place in Pakistan.
