Basit lashed out at the team's captain Shan Masood claiming that he is trying to carry friendships instead of speaking the truth. The former Pakistan batter also slammed the bowling coach Abdur Rehman for his earlier comment.
While speaking on his YouTube channel, Basit Ali shared his thoughts on Pakistan's performance. He alleged the team's captain Shan Masood for trying to carry friendships and challenged him to speak the truth.
Shan Masood didn't have a great series as a captain as well as a batter. The left-handed opener scored 80 runs across two Tests at an average of 20 with a best of 52. His poor results have put a lot of pressure on him and raised questions over his future as a captain.
Basit Ali on Abdur Rehman's comments
"I was looking at bowling coach Abdur Rehman's interview. He told the same thing that the bowlers were taking chances to get the batters out and they got greedy. He had to mention the names too - was it Noman, was it Sajid, was it Abrar, was it Salman Ali Agha," Basit said.
Basit Ali also defended Aaqib Javed's decision to prepare spin-friendly pitches at home. However, he was angry on the team's batting coach for the poor selection of shots by the batters.
"The shots that Babar, Rizwan, and Saud played in the first innings and the shorts Hurraria and Kamran Ghulam hit in the second, did Aqib Javed tell them to do so? Where is the batting coach? he argued.
Pakistan finish last in the WTC cycle
Pakistan prepared spin-friendly surfaces as they have done in their recent Test matches played at home. However, West Indies' spinners proved too much to handle on a rank turner at Multan. Shan Masood and his team finished last in this cycle of the World Test Championship.
