Three Pakistan players get BBL 13 contracts

Three Pakistani cricketers have secured contracts for the 13th edition of the Big Bash League (BBL), showcasing their talent on the international stage.

Haris Rauf, a fast bowler known for his fiery pace, is set to make a return to the Melbourne Stars after being selected in the BBL draft for the upcoming season. Rauf's previous stints with the Stars have left a lasting impression, and his inclusion in the team promises to bring excitement to the league.

Joining Haris Rauf at the Melbourne Stars is Usama Mir, a leg-spinner who has earned his maiden BBL opportunity. Usama's remarkable performances in T20 tournaments like the Vitality Blast and The Hundred this year have earned him a well-deserved spot in the Melbourne Stars squad. His spin bowling skills are expected to add depth and variety to the team's bowling attack.
