Siddharth Kaul Lone Indian Among 600-plus That Register For BBL 2025 Draft

By IANS News June 17, 2025 • 17:44 PM View: 554

Pacer Siddharth Kaul: Pacer Siddharth Kaul has emerged as the only Indian player in the men’s list of over 600 cricketers who have registered for the upcoming Big Bash League (BBL) draft, scheduled to be held on June 19.

The draft, announced by Cricket Australia, features a global pool of T20 talent, with 178 English players, 74 from Pakistan, 42 from the West Indies, and 13 from Sri Lanka also throwing their hats into the ring.

Kaul, a former India international and seasoned IPL campaigner, will be hoping to revive his T20 fortunes by securing a contract in Australia’s premier franchise league. He stands alone as India’s sole male representative in the 2025 BBL draft, underlining the rarity of Indian participation in overseas T20 leagues.
