Babar also gave his rationale behind choosing the BBL. ”The conditions over there in Australia are different. The pitches over there are really fast and you get to learn a lot. Whereas in IPL, you get the same Asian conditions,” Babar said.
Babar is yet to feature in the Big Bash League, whereas no Pakistani cricketer has taken part in the IPL after the first season of the tournament, due to political tensions between India and Pakistan. Earlier this month, Babar Azam registerd his name in The Hundred draft for 2023. He has entered the draft with a reserve price of £100,000.
In 9 matches of PSL 2023, Babar has accumulated 416 runs at an average of 52.00. Babar has smashed 1 hundred and 4 fifties.
