Shoaib said, “I have had a wonderful time with the Sprite Cricket Stars campaign in UAE and Qatar and I am looking forward to meet my fans in Bahrain. These are the people who have made me a star and now I would love to watch them play the game and become a star.”

Mohamed Akeel, MD of Coca-Cola Bottling Co of Bahrain said: “Bahrain has a significantly large Asian community who love Cricket and Sprite is delighted to give them an opportunity to live their passion both on the field and even off the field through our exciting promotion. Whenever consumers drink Sprite they have the chances to win prizes such as TVs, Mobiles and Sprite Cricket Kits till Oct 15th 2015.” 

The winning Sprite Cricket Stars team will receive USD1,500 in prize money, with the runners-up take away USD1000.
