Dambulla Sixers Sign Pakistan Batter Sahibzada Farhan for LPL 2026
Dambulla Sixers have secured the services of Pakistani top-order batter Sahibzada Farhan for the upcoming Lanka Premier League 2026 season.
The right-handed batter has been pre-signed by the franchise ahead of the tournament, confirming his participation despite earlier transfer speculation linking him with other LPL teams.
Strong Form Leading Into LPL
Farhan enters the new season in impressive form, having established himself as one of Pakistan’s standout T20 performers in 2026. His recent performances in domestic and franchise cricket have significantly boosted his reputation in the shortest format.
During Pakistan Super League Season 11, he played a key role for Multan Sultans, scoring 380 runs in 10 innings and finishing among the tournament’s leading run scorers.
He also hit 23 sixes, finishing as one of the top power-hitters of the season.
Expected Impact in T20 Format
Known for his aggressive batting style at the top of the order, Farhan is expected to provide quick starts for Dambulla Sixers in a format where momentum is crucial.
Team management will be hoping his recent form translates into consistent performances in the LPL, strengthening their batting lineup for the 2026 campaign.
Opportunity in Franchise Cricket
The move marks another important step in Farhan’s growing franchise career, giving him further exposure on the international T20 stage.
With his current form and attacking approach, he is expected to play a key role in Dambulla’s push for success in the upcoming season.
