Pakistani cricket star Babar Azam has received orders to exit Australia promptly as he rejoins his national team ahead of the World Cup. This decision means he will miss the remaining finals of the Big Bash League (BBL) with the Sydney Sixers.
Babar Azam’s Impact on the Big Bash League
During his time with the Sydney Sixers, Azam garnered significant attention. However, his season was marked by criticism regarding his slow strike rate. Many observers felt his cautious playing style was detrimental to the team’s performance.
Controversial Moments

- “Thank you so much, Sydney Sixers, for having me.”
- “I have enjoyed my time here a lot.”
- “There was a lot of support and encouragement from the fans at Sydney Cricket Ground.”
As he prepares for international duties, his remarks reflect both his enjoyment of the BBL experience and a desire to carry positive memories back home.
Upcoming Matches for Sydney Sixers
The Sydney Sixers are gearing up for a crucial match against the Hobart Hurricanes. This game offers them a second chance against the Perth Scorchers, who have already secured a spot in the final scheduled for Sunday night.
