England all-rounder Moeen Ali has made no request from his IPL franchise Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to remove an alcohol brand's logo from his jersey. 

Earlier, there were some reports doing rounds claiming that Ali wants the logo of SNJ 1000, a beer brand of Chennai-based SNJ Distilleries, to be removed. Chennai Super Kings CEO Kasi Viswanathan spoke to IANS on Sunday (April 4) and clarified that there was no request from Ali.

“There has been no request made by Moeen to CSK to remove any logo", said the CSK CEO. Usually, players object against the use of alcohol brands' logo on their jersey only because of their religious faith.

The 33-year-old joined the franchise after England's three-match ODI series against India at Pune. His national teammate Sam Curran had accompanied him.

Ali was bought by the Chennai Super Kings in the IPL 2021 auction for a whopping Rs. 7 crores. He had played for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) from IPL 2018 to 2020.
