Pakistan star all-rounder Shadab Khan has been signed by Sydney Sixers for the ongoing 11th season of the Big Bash League (BBL).

Shadab has now become the fifth Pakistani player to be signed by a BBL franchise as Haris Rauf, Ahmed Danyal, and Syed Fardioun have all been signed by Melbourne Stars whereas Mohammad Hasnain will wear Sydney Thunder colors.

Previously, the all-rounder featured in the BBL back in the competition's seventh edition for Brisbaine Heat, where he played three matches and picked up six wickets. He also made some handy contributions with the bat as well.

Good luck @76Shadabkhan!

Shaddy will be ROARING in the colours of @SixersBBL in the ongoing @BBL.

The Sydney Sixers are on track to extend their winning run in the tournament as they have already registered four out of five wins, and they have identified Shadab as the key factor to help them with it.

Shadab will return to Pakistan ahead of the Pakistan Super League's seventh edition and this stint during the BBL will help him prepare for the tournament. In addition to that, this will also allow him to get accustomed to the conditions ahead of Pakistan's tour to Australia in 2023.
