“The whole world is laughing at Babar’s batting,” said Basit Ali

An incredible loss – that’s what Pakistan’s first Test loss to England in Multan has to say. Pakistan scored over 550 in the first innings. England then declared their first innings at 823 for 7 in the late afternoon of the fourth day.

From there, Pakistan were all out for 220 runs in 54.5 overs in the second innings. The match was lost by an innings and 47 runs.

The first against England after the two-Test series collapse by Bangladesh at home.Pakistan’s former batsman Basit Ali has criticized the team after a big loss in Tests. He is more angry with Test captain Shan Masood and the team’s senior batsman Babar Azam.

Basit Ali feels that Babar, who has not scored a fifty in 18 consecutive Test innings, is not batting and should be rested. And he said that there is a problem in the leadership of Shan Masood.

Basit Ali expressed his disappointment about Babar on his YouTube channel, saying, ‘Babar Azam needs rest. Babar should say—I need rest. If anyone else had performed, he would have been dropped after three matches. This is the harsh truth.
Basit Ali then added, “Enough is enough.” (Watching Babar’s batting) The whole world is laughing. Does anyone play like this?’

Basit Ali said about Shan Masood’s leadership problem, “Shan Masood is a failure as a captain.” I have come to see that Shan Masood is an opener. He should open.But he batted at number three. What happens now? Who would you exclude? He should bat in his own position. He doesn’t even understand captaincy. What happened to this team? It’s sad.’

Basit Ali also questioned the fitness of Pakistan players. He feels that Babar and Soud Shakeel missed catches in England’s first innings due to lack of fitness. Apart from this, Basit Ali felt that after fielding for a long time, Pakistan’s batsmen could not move their legs properly.
