BBL 2025 is set to begin on December14, and Babar Azam, who arrived in Sydney earlier this week, will be part of the Sydney Sixers squad.
Ahead of the 15th season of the BBL, Sydney Sixers unveiled a special jersey number for Babar Azam, breaking with tradition. While Babar’s national jersey number is 56, the Sixers have given him the jersey number '056' for the BBL, a three-digit number that is unique to him.
The franchise shared images of Babar Azam wearing the new jersey on social media, where he was seen donning the '056' number at the Sydney cricketGround.
Unique Jersey Number for Babar Azam
The reason for this unique jersey number is reportedly because SydneySixers' fast bowler Mitchell Starc already wears the number 56. The franchise clarified on social media that during BBL 2025, Babar Azam will wear the '056' jersey, while Mitchell Starc will continue with his iconic '56' number.
The Big Bash League 2025 will run from December 14, 2025, to January25, 2026, with a total of 44 matches scheduled to take place.
