In an exciting start to the 2025/26 KFC Big Bash League (BBL), Pakistani cricket stars have made their debut, drawing significant attention. The performance of Muhammad Rizwan and Shaheen Shah Afridi has become a focal point for fans and analysts alike.
BBL Debut Highlights
Muhammad Rizwan struggled in his inaugural BBL innings. He was dismissed for a low score by spinner Paddy Dooley. Rizwan attempted a cross-bat slog sweep but ended up being caught out by Hugh Weibgen.
The conditions at GMHBA Stadium played a role in this unexpected dismissal. The inconsistent bounce in the opening overs made it challenging for players to adjust. Adam Gilchrist, commenting on Rizwan’s shot selection, noted the surprise at such an aggressive approach without having faced Dooley frequently.
Shaheen Shah Afridi’s Performance
In contrast, Shaheen Shah Afridi made his BBL debut with a relatively decent start. He conceded nine runs in his opening over, showcasing his skills in a new league.
