Babar Azam, Pakistan’s star batter, has signed with the Sydney Sixers for the upcoming Big Bash League (BBL) season, becoming one of the highest-paid players in the tournament’s history.
This is Babar’s first time playing in the BBL, and his contract is reportedly worth around PKR 10 crore, which is even higher than the league’s Platinum category base of PKR 7.75 crore. His signing adds a major international name to the Sixers’ squad, giving the team a big boost ahead of the new season.
Known for his calm style and solid performances, Babar has scored over 10,000 runs in international cricket and has earned several top awards, including the ICC Cricketer of the Year. He is seen as one of the best batsmen in the world and brings a wealth of experience to the team.
The Sydney Sixers already have a strong lineup, and adding Babar makes them even more competitive. Fans are excited to see how he will perform in Australian conditions and how his presence will impact the team’s chances in the league.
With this move, Babar not only makes his debut in one of the world’s top T20 leagues but also sets a new financial milestone for international players.
His arrival is expected to draw more attention to the BBL, especially from fans in South Asia. The Sixers are hoping that Babar’s skills and leadership will help them push for another title in BBL 15.
