Babar Azam’s decision to partner with CA Sports has turned into a game-changing moment, both on and off the field.

Under the terms of the deal, Babar stands to earn extra payouts for every milestone, such as half-centuries and centuries. While the exact details of the performance incentives remain under wraps, this arrangement demonstrates the trust CA Sports has in its marquee athlete.
