Former Pakistan cricket captain Babar Azam has signed a groundbreaking contract with the Sydney Sixers for the 2025 Big Bash League (BBL) season. The deal is worth nearly PKR 10 crore, making it one of the highest salaries in the competition’s history. Azam’s debut in the BBL establishes him as a key player in the Sixers’ quest for the championship.

The Sydney Sixers secured Babar Azam as their pre-draft overseas signing for BBL 15, offering a contract that surpasses the Platinum category’s base price of PKR 7.75 crore. Sources confirm the 30-year-old batter’s deal approaches PKR 10 crore, placing him among the BBL’s highest-paid players. This lucrative agreement underscores Azam’s global stature and the Sixers’ ambition to strengthen their squad ahead of the June 19, 2025, draft.

Azam’s arrival is a significant coup for the Sixers, who aim to reclaim the BBL title. His experience and skill set enhance an already formidable lineup, including Sean Abbott, Steve Smith, and Moises Henriques. The Sixers’ management expressed excitement about Azam’s inclusion, noting his ability to perform under pressure and elevate the team’s batting prowess.
