Pakistan’s top cricketer Babar Azam is set to make his debut in Australia’s Big Bash League (BBL) with the Sydney Sixers in its upcoming 15th season — and the cricket world is excited.
Among those welcoming Babar is England’s wicketkeeper-batter Sam Billings, who called him “King Babar Azam” in a warm message. Billings said he was glad to have Babar on his team, adding that it’s much better to play alongside such a skilled batter than to bowl against him. He praised Babar’s consistent performances, calling him one of the best players in international cricket.
Babar Azam’s entry into the BBL has created a lot of excitement among fans and experts around the world. Known for his elegant batting style and calm personality, Babar has already proven himself in various T20 leagues, and now he’s ready to take on Australia’s top domestic competition.
Billings also highlighted the rich talent that Pakistan has in cricket, saying that the country continues to produce world-class players. He believes that Babar’s presence in the league will raise the standard of the tournament and attract even more viewers.
Babar himself is thrilled to be part of the Sydney Sixers and is especially looking forward to sharing the field with international stars like Steve Smith and Josh Hazlewood. He said that playing in the BBL is a big step in his career and he hopes to make a strong impact.
This move marks a special chapter in Babar Azam’s journey and reflects the growing respect for Pakistani players in global leagues.
