Lahore Qalandars’ new logo, launched recently by their captain, Shaheen Afridi, was allegedly copied from Adobe Stock.
Shaheen had previously announced that he would design the kits for the HBL Pakistan Super League players of the Lahore Qalandars franchise.
On Tuesday, Qalandars released a Twitter video showing Shaheen Afridi wearing the new kit and displaying the logo.
