The Big Bash League (BBL) is set to witness some Pakistan flair as one of the biggest names in the Cricket world, Babar Azam, is set to grace the league with his presence. The champion batter was roped in by the Sydney Sixers for the upcoming season, and his arrival will make the team stronger as the Sydney-based side aim to clinch the trophy.

This is a mega signing for the BBL as over the last few years, star power has decreased in the Australian T20 league, and it needed a big name to gain attraction. The Sixers have roped in Babar in the top category (Platinum), and the former Pakistan captain will earn a hefty amount of money in the league. Let us look at how much Babar would earn for his BBL participation.

How much will Babar Azam earn in BBL 2025-26?

Since Babar Azam was picked in the Platinum category by the Sixers, the Pakistan superstar would earn up to $420,000 AUD - approximately INR 2.35 crore. Here is a breakdown of how much each player earns from different category.

However, the amount Babar will get depends on his availability for the season. If the champion batter is available for the entire season, he would get the entire fee - $420,000.

The importance of BBL for Babar Azam's T20I comeback

Despite scoring truckloads of runs for Pakistan, the Pakistan Cricket Board dropped a bombshell as they snubbed Babar from its Asia Cup 2025 squad. Head coach, Mike Hesson urged Babar to play in the BBL and work on his strike rate, which has been a major issue for the right-handed batter.

Hence, a BBL stint with the Sixers could pave the way for Babar to get back in the Pakistan side. If he performs in tricky Australian wickets and improves his numbers, then it could prove to be a masterstroke for the former T20I captain.
