'Now pressure will be on ...': Basit Ali gives technical guidance to Babar

NEW DELHI: Former cricketer

Basit Ali

has shared technical guidance with Pakistan's star player Babar Azam. Ali believes Azam will emerge as the "best batter" in the forthcoming Pakistan Super League (PSL).
Following a disappointing performance in the recent Champions Trophy, Babar's position has weakened. Whilst being excluded from the T20I squad against New Zealand, he maintained his place in the ODI team.

As Babar aims to regain his form in the upcoming three ODIs against New Zealand, Basit has offered technical suggestions, advising him to utilise his "bottom hand" and adjust his bat positioning.

"Babar should reduce his stance. He should also slightly open his bat. His bat is closed, and he should try to use his bottom hand more in the powerplay. Now pressure will be on Babar and Rizwan," Basit shared on his YouTube channel.
Mohammad Rizwan, alongside Babar, was removed from the T20I series in New Zealand. This decision created opportunities for fresh talent in the team.
The tournament launches on April 11 with Islamabad United facing Lahore Qalandars. Basit has predicted that Babar, representing

Peshawar Zalmi

, will deliver the finest batting performance in the competition.
"Babar Azam will be the best batter in PSL," Basit stated.
Peshawar's PSL journey begins against Quetta Gladiators on April 12 at the
