Tainted Amir's sponsorship goes BoomBoom

Tainted Amir's sponsorship goes BoomBoom

MUMBAI: Cricket manufacturer BoomBoom has suspended its sponsorship of Pakistan cricketer Mohammad Amir following the allegations of match-fixing in the Test series against England.
 
BoomBoom could also cancel the agreement with the Pakistan team for kit supply only four months into a two-year deal. That deal includes plans to build a cricket academy in Karachi.

Amir‘s image has already been removed from the company‘s website, state media reports.
 
BoomBoom understandably does not want to be associated with any whiff of corruption or suspicion of foul play.

BoomBoom MD Ali Ehsan says, “While the suspension of our commercial involvement with Mohammad Amir is not a step we take lightly, we nevertheless feel that it is the right thing to do while a judicial process unfolds and innocence or guilt is established.” 
 
He also says that BoomBoom is also reviewing its position as official kit supplier to the Pakistan Cricket Board.
