Speculations were rife that Esra, who played Halime Sultan on the popular Turkish drama Diriliş: Ertuğrul, would be supporting Peshawar Zalmi after Javed dropped hints in July. Esra too tagged Javed in a tweet saying she would soon share “good news” with her Pakistani fans.
Mahira Khan was re-appointed as the ambassador on Tuesday. She has represented Peshawar Zalmi in the third (2018) and fourth (2019) editions. She also featured in the 2018 official Zalmi anthem Hum Zalmi.
Hania Amir was also named one of the Zalmi ambassadors on Friday.
