"Imran Khan told me those players [Javed Miandad, Zaheer Abbas etc] are indeed great but the quality we see in Babar Azam is incomparable": Basit Ali

Time for basit sahab to close his channel. Babar struck three sixes back to back. But yeah, I know he said against top team, he said. But babar has played a good match-winning inning. Good to see some ball hitting from babar. He needed that inning badly.
The day babar hits 3 sixes in an over let alone a match against top sides and top bowling attacks. Wake me up from my dream, cause it ain't happening
 
Basit Ali on his YouTube channel lauded Kirsten’s commitment to allowing Babar to play his natural game:

"Kirsten, who has not even joined the team, has said that he will not try to change Babar Azam. He wants the captain to play as he is and that is what Babar needs."

“Saim Ayub and Fakhar Zaman should learn from Kirsten as much as they can because Kirsten was an amazing top-order batter and he can teach a lot to these two batters."

“Babar Azam needs to learn how to hit the ball in the middle of the wicket more. If Babar learns this, he will leave all the other top-order batters in the world behind.”
 
Basit Ali speaking on his Youtube Channel Said:

"Babar Azam ek taraf, baaki selectors dusre taraf (Babar Azam is on one page, the selection committee is on the other),"

"I'll give you the entire story why the three met together. Two selectors are moving with the team - Mohammed Yousuf and Wahab Riaz. The others were not spoken to. They told the Chairman, and then he vetoed and asked what was happening and where are the minutes of the meeting. When a team is formed, not everyone is on the same page. Everyone has their different opinions. So then they give their views in writing on a page stating their views. All that does not happen here. I was a chief selector, so I can tell,"​
 
Former cricketer Basit Ali made a claim during a program on a local channel:

"What was the performance of Muhammad Amir?"

"This team is not Pakistan team but Babar XI and Wahab Riaz XI. Only the game of likes and dislikes is being played in team."

"The establishment in PCB gave the chairman wrong advice, the result of which came before us today."
 
Former cricketer Basit Ali made a claim during a program on a local channel:

"Babar Azam included Amir in team to pressure Shaheen Afridi."
How does he generate these stories? I'm in awe.

Whoever follows Pakistan Cricket deeply knows that it was Shaheen in fact who brought Amir back. Both of them have acknowledged this.
 
Basit Ali claimed following stuff in a video shared on his YouTube channel:

'Mohammad Rizwan will replace Shan Masood as Pakistan Skipper': Basit Ali

"Pakistan team has started preparations for the upcoming Test series against Bangladesh which will witness two Tests. Moreover, Mohammad Rizwan will be given the leadership duties. He also added that Pakistan Cricket Board will announce the decision soon"

Just watched the video

He is assuming Rizwan will be made red ball captain because he did a random press conference.

This is getting ridiculous.

That is the reason why I do not listen to Basit Ali's analysis means why would someone replace shan with rizwan? lol
 
Basit Ali should be happy than IK is in Jail otherwise he would have given good therapy to Basit Ali for this misquotation lol
 
Hahahahahahahahaha.

I'm waiting for basit Ali to say April Fools
 
Basit Ali says anything that the public wants to hear or they do not like so that it can bring a reaction to his youtube channel publicity. Nobody takes him seriously.
 
Basit Ali criticized Shoaib Malik for his decisions as mentor in a recent interview:

“Those people who cannot think about the country, should not be appointed. Those who have admitted that they deliberately lost a match, should not be the mentor. If you want evidence I will give it. Ramiz Raja Saheb interviewed Shoaib Malik. What did he say?"

"We’ve had discussions. Only those players would be selected as the captain who can be groomed into the role per my point of view and those who have some abilities as well. In my perspective, the skills a captain needs are different to personal performances. I plan on picking my captain who has the skills and can give success to Pakistan in the long run".

“The only regret I have for Babar Azam is that everyone became captain but Shoaib Malik did not make him the captain and went for Haris instead. From Babar Azam’s pocket, you can pick out 10s of Haris’,"

“That is such a big insult to him. Babar is also a coward. He should have done it like Umar Akmal or Ahmed Shehzad refused to play,"
 
Well Basit Ali wasn't wrong. Only rain was the hope for Bangladesh but against India not Pakistan
 
Former Pakistan cricketer, Basit Ali said on his YouTube channel:

"The thought process is very important, which is missing in Pakistani cricket. India rested Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal but nobody rests in our team. So, please learn something from India."

"The kind of sixes that Nitish hit should be called 'Athhe' (eights) and not sixes. And then Rinku Singh is Michael Bevan after all. Gautam Gambhir's thinking has been a success. I am not saying that he will win the World Cup straight away. Even if he flops, Gautam won't stop backing him because they pick players and make them and this is the best example of that."

You are playing against England and they are utilizing their talent better. While India is more consistent, in terms of planning, England has been better. Learn from them not India.

@Rana These ex players keep hailing India but when an average Indian fan says the same thing, he is called arrogant.
 
After an embarrassing innings defeat against England, Basit Ali said on his YouTube channel:

"What is the reason behind the downfall of Pakistan's cricket? Whatever is forbidden in our religion, all those things happen here. These foreign coaches, and management are making a fool of us. Back-biting is being openly done in this current system. This person did this, this person did that. The ones back-biting are being appointed as coaches in domestic cricket and managers. Nobody is picked on merit and in fact, a good person doesn't even want to be part of the PCB now. No one comes here on the basis of merit. There is too much favouritism and the hurtful thing is the spread of lies. Speak lies and get your work done."

"Sharmnaak shikast (embarrassing defeat). Pakistan Cricket board have closed their eyes. Let it happen, whatever is happening. Bas Champions Trophy ho jaye Pakistan me. First, uplift and get your cricket better."

Pakistan fans seem to hit the deck hard with a lot of nonsense these days. They hit it harder than their 130kmh bowlers
 
Former Pakistan cricket team star Basit Ali was extremely critical of the duo and he said that both of them are struggling in the same manner as Babar Azam:

"After Babar, Rohit and Virat are also in the same situation, poor form"

"When Rohit missed two deliveries, struck on the pads and then on the lower abdomen, he stepped out to hit a four. This shows that his feet are not moving, form is not good. Then he hit a four off a reverse sweep,"

"Virat Kohli, out of touch, not in form at all. He needs to play domestically before flying to Australia, Rohit also. Test match practice cannot be seen,"

“It was the mandate that you must make yourself available for domestic cricket to be eligible for India selection. Everyone played, all of them performed in patches - Shubman Gill, Pant, Yashasvi Jaiswal...but these two (Rohit and Virat) were given a free hand and allowed to exclude themselves,”
 
Basit Ali, Pakistan's fastest centurion in ODIs before Shahid Afridi, smashed a 100 off 67 balls against the West Indies in 1993.

He played 19 Tests and 50 ODIs for Pakistan in the mid-90s.

Happy Birthday to Him
 
Was Basit Ali and Imran Khan having this discussion with bhang in their tea?
