The move was unexpected as fans had expected Turkish actress, Esra Bilgiç, to be announced as the new brand ambassador. Esra and Peshawar Zalmi owner, Javed Afridi, had been teasing the fans on social media over the past few weeks, with both of them sharing the same cryptic messages on Twitter and Instagram.
