Former Pakistan cricket team captain Basit Ali has made sharp remarks against Babar Azam. According to reports from Amar Ujala, Basit Ali questioned Babar Azam's capabilities following Pakistan's disappointing performance in the Test series against England.

Basit Ali slammed Babar Azam, stating that his greatness is limited only to social media platforms. He made these comments at a time when the Pakistan team is struggling significantly in Test cricket. Basit Ali believes that Babar's performance on the field has not lived up to expectations.

The former Pakistan captain also expressed his dissatisfaction with Babar's batting and captaincy methods. He noted that the level of performance expected from a top-tier player has not been visible from Babar recently.

Basit Ali's criticism has become a major topic of discussion within the Pakistan cricket community. The team's defeat and poor display against England have left former players quite frustrated.
