How much money will Babar Azam get to play for Sydney Sixers in BBL, The amount is less than.......
Preparations for the Big Bash League 2025 (BBL 2025) have started in Australia and players are being selected by the teams. This time Pakistan's star batsman Babar Azam has been included in the Sydney Sixers team. In the BBL, before the overseas draft, under the 'pre-draft sign' process, teams get a chance to choose a foreign player, in which the Sixers have selected Babar. Australian legend Steve Smith is also included in this team. Image credit: X (Formerly Twitter) Sydney Sixers have signed up Babar Azam for BBL 2025 as a pre-draft signing. Babar Azam is set to make his Big Bash debut this year. Image credit: X (Formerly Twitter) Sydney Sixers also follows the same salary system. However, given Babar Azam's performance in T20 and Pakistan Super League, it is expected that he will not get the maximum amount. It is estimated that the Sixers will give him an amount slightly less than $ 4,20,000. This amount is approximately Rs 2.35 crore in Indian currency. Image credit: X (Formerly Twitter) Babar Azam is counted among the biggest names in Pakistan cricket, but his salary in the BBL is even less than that of an uncapped player in the Indian Premier League (IPL). For example, Punjab Kings bought Priyansh Arya for Rs 3.5 crore, while he has not even made his debut for India yet. Babar Azam is currently out of Pakistan's T20 International team. Despite this, he is seen as a big player at the international level. But given his current situation, he was not given the maximum amount in the BBL. Babar Azam's popularity is very high in Pakistan and world cricket. Despite this, he is getting relatively less payment in BBL, which may be a bit surprising for his fans. This reflects his current form and position in the team. Sydney Sixers have strengthened their batting by including Babar as an experienced player. They also have batsmen like Steve Smith, due to which the balance of the team looks very good. Now all eyes will be on the strategy and performance of the Sixers in BBL 2025.
