Special Report: Babar Azam Exits BBL Before Final, Dropped by Sydney Sixers Amid Strike Rate Debate

Описание: Pakistan star batter Babar Azam has exited Australia’s Big Bash League just days before the final, sparking major controversy. Sydney Sixers have released Babar, ruling him out of the title clash scheduled on January 23. While officially cited as a PCB call-back for upcoming T20 series preparation against Australia, reports suggest Babar was informed he would not be part of the playing XI in crucial matches.

Babar’s slow strike rate has drawn criticism in the modern T20 era. In BBL 15, he scored 202 runs in 11 matches with a strike rate of just 103, despite hitting two half-centuries. Compared to aggressive openers like Steve Smith and Daniel Hughes, his approach added pressure on the team. Australian legend Mark Waugh had also advised Sixers to look for a more attacking opening partner for Smith. With the league entering its decisive phase, Babar’s absence from the biggest matches has reignited global debate over his T20 batting style.
