"The Lahore Badshahs have been a critical factor in getting an overwhelming response for the Edelweiss 20s Challenge. The Badshahs are arguably one of the best sides in the word and deserve all the support from their increasing home fan base."

''With Momi's huge fan following in Pakistan, I am sure the popularity of the Lahore Badshahs will reach unprecedented levels across the subcontinent,'' he added.

Speaking from across the border, the actor said, ''I am delighted to be associated with ICL. As a cricketer and keen observer of the game, especially with my family's background in cricket, I am delighted to see the Lahore Badshahs perform so well and entertain millions of cricket fans.

"I am looking forward to working with the Lahore Badshahs team, namely with stalwarts like Inzamam, Moin Khan and Mushtaq Ahmed, to take the Badshahs to the next level in cricket. I am sure that my fans will support my team, Lahore Badshahs.''
