AIMIM spokesperson Waris Pathan called out BCCI, questioning the cricketing body on whether promoting political parties in the Indian match jersey constituted 'breach of contract'.
"Isn't wearing the jersey of Indian Cricket team & indulging in promotion of a political party a breach of contract of player and also conflict of interest according to @BCCI
?" Pathan tweeted.
The screenshotted retweet by the cricketer appeared to have been removed from his Twitter.
