Spinner Usama Mir sole Pakistani player picked in BBL draft

 Melbourne Stars picked leg-spinner in third round of association's drafts

September 01, 2024

Australia's Large Slam Association (BBL) and Ladies' Huge Slam Association (WBBL) have wrapped up their drafts with just a single cricketer from Pakistan being gotten for the associations.

Leg-spinner Usama Mir is the sole Pakistani player, who has been chosen for the BBL regardless of the accessibility of 69 men and 11 ladies cricketers for the establishments.

The Melbourne Stars picked Usama in the third round of the BBL drafts. The cricketer has played for the establishment in the past version of the association — 2023-24.

The BBL, set to begin on December 15, 2024 and end on January 27, 2025, favored unfamiliar players who might be accessible for the total season without issues connected with No Protest Declarations (NOCs).

Pakistan's players are limited by their public group responsibilities and their cooperation in associations is in many cases questionable with respect to NOCs
