Ex-Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali reacted to Pakistan batter Babar Azam scoring a 90-ball 64 in their Champions Trophy 2025 match against New Zealand. "Was he playing for himself, not for the nation? Is the nation below him?" he asked. "People call you a traitor if you criticise Babar. When we talk nicely about him, does he listen? No," Basit added.
