Mark Waugh Suggests Sydney Sixers Drop Babar Azam Amid BBL Performance Concerns

Former Australian cricketer Mark Waugh has suggested the Sydney Sixers consider dropping Babar Azam from their Big Bash League (BBL) 2025-26 lineup due to the Pakistan batter's inconsistent performance, with 202 runs in 11 innings. Babar's struggles, including a public disagreement with teammate Steve Smith over strike rotation, have drawn attention. Sixers captain Moises Henriques described the incident as a cultural misunderstanding that was resolved. Waugh recommended a batting reshuffle to strengthen the team ahead of playoffs.
