The Only Cricketer From Pakistan Selected in The BBL Draft is Usama Mir

The 2024–25 Big Bash League (BBL) and Women's Big Bash League (WBBL) drafts are over, and Usama Mir, a Pakistani cricket player, is the lone player chosen to compete in the Australian men's league.

Even though Pakistan has 69 male and 11 female cricketers available, only one leg-spinner has been selected for the league. The Melbourne Stars selected Usama in the third round of the BBL draft. He played for the team in the 2023–24 season.

The BBL, scheduled to begin on December 15, 2024, and run through January 27, 2025, preferred international players who could play the entire season without experiencing any problems with No Objection Certificates (NOCs). Pakistan's players are restricted by their obligations to the national team, and their league participation is frequently contingent upon NOCs.

Bet Pro Exchange has released its first-round selections for the upcoming cricket season. Ben Duckett of the Melbourne Stars, James Vince of the Sydney Sixers, Laurie Evans of the Melbourne Renegades, Lockie Ferguson of the Sydney Thunder, Shai Hope of the Hobart Hurricanes, Jamie Overton of the Adelaide Strikers, Colin Munro of the Brisbane Heat, and Finn Allen of the Perth Scorchers are the first-round selections. Fans eagerly await the season's start to see how these players perform.

The following players were selected in the second round: Tom Curran (pre-signed player, Melbourne Stars), Jacob Bethell (pre-signed player, Melbourne Renegades), Ollie Pope (pre-signed player, Adelaide Strikers), Chris Jordan (pre-signed player, Hobart Hurricanes), Sam Billings (pre-signed player, Sydney Thunder), Paul Walter (Brisbane Heat), Passed (performed by Perth Scorchers), and Akeal Hosein (pre-signed player, Sydney Sixers).

Hobart Hurricanes, Sydney Thunder's Sherfane Rutherford, the Melbourne Renegades' Tim Seifert (a pre-signed player), and the Melbourne Stars' Usama Mir all passed away.
