Now my question is if the Bookies have the legal rights to feature matches from these countries where gambling is forbidden? Is there any legal reason the bookies will feature such matches and can those countries take legal actions against the bookies? Let me know what you think.
what's illegal is gambling and not the said sports. For the fact of it, it's not only people from that region that participate in those sports and so you can't stop bookies from including it in the list of games that could be gambled on. If you can take a legal action against bookies should they include those sports then you can as well exit the whole sporting space so no one gets to bet on anything that has to do with your sports.

Most of the countries that are against gambling and even proscribed it as illegal don't do so just because they hate a particular sports, it's mostly based on thier religious beliefs and the fact that some of them might look at it as too addictive for her citizens and that it can deter thier youths concentration for more rewarding activity. But even at that, they are still active in those sports and don't see it as something that's wrong. Take for instance my religion where gambling is against the believe system, they don't agree that a believe should gamble but most of them are lovers of the EPL and all the major European leagues and even goes on to root strongly for thier national teams at the Olympics and every other national tournament. Bookies are business people that operate based on legal terms and because most of them are mostly online based, it's not even reasonable to take up a case against them on matters as this.
