Sydney: Pakistan’s cricket superstar Babar Azam has reportedly become one of the highest-paid players in Big Bash League (BBL) history after signing a lucrative deal with the Sydney Sixers for BBL Season 15.
Sources suggest Babar’s contract is valued at nearly PKR 10 crore, exceeding the Platinum category base salary of PKR 7.75 crore — making this a record-breaking signing in the league’s history.
This move marks Babar Azam’s debut in the BBL, adding significant international flair to the Sixers’ roster. With over 10,000 international runs and multiple accolades, including ICC Cricketer of the Year honors, Babar brings a wealth of experience and star power to the Australian T20 league.
His arrival is expected to bolster the Sixers’ chances for a strong title campaign as they head into the upcoming season with a well-rounded squad.
