Two days ago, Peshawar Zalmi announced Pakistani actress Mahira Khan as its brand ambassador for the sixth edition of the league. But the move left fans scratching their heads as they expected the Turkish star to take lead as the brand ambassador of the franchise this time.

However, sources confirmed to Images that talks with Bilgic are still underway and a "final outcome is expected in a few days".

Most fans have speculated that the video call was related to the same development as Esra can be seen wearing the same black shirt that was donned by Mahira Khan when she was announced as the brand ambassador by Afridi on his Twitter account two days back.

Fans now await an official announcement in this regard.
