Tribute is the title and short sponsor besides being the official beer of Somerset. Last year, Babar and his fellow Pakistani cricketer Azhar Ali refused to don the alcohol company’s logo.

Many other Muslim cricketers refused to wear shirts and jerseys printed with the logo of alcohol logos as these logos are made for promotions of these products.
