‘Kaise pagal log hai’: Ex-cricketer slams Pak’s decision to open with Babar

Former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali criticised the team’s strategy in a tri-nation series, particularly Babar Azam’s opening position which disrupted his performance. Basit emphasised focusing on their match against New Zealand instead of India and pointed out captain Rizwan’s lack of confidence in certain players. He warned that low confidence could affect Pakistan’s upcoming Champions Trophy campaign.
