Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc has shared an interesting comment regarding Babar Azam’s preference for wearing jersey number 56.
Recently, Mitchell Starc appeared alongside Australian cricketer Mitchell Marsh in a Big Bash League video segment called 60 Second Slog. During the segment, both players entertained cricket fans with light hearted and engaging conversation.
In the discussion, Mitchell Marsh asked Starc about Babar Azam finalizing a contract with the Sydney Sixers and once again opting for his familiar jersey number 56, and requested Starc’s thoughts on it.Responding humorously, Mitchell Starc said that he believes Babar must have been paid a very high amount, which is probably why he was allowed to keep the number.
It is worth noting that both Mitchell Starc and Babar Azam wear jersey number 56 while representing their respective national teams. Due to this, when Babar Azam signed with the Sydney Sixers, the franchise introduced a unique jersey number 056 especially for him.
