Following the embarrassing collapse and a heavy defeat, the former Pakistani cricketers reacted furiously. Shoaib Akhtar took a ferocious dig at the batting lineup, stating that they can’t take Pakistani pitches with them everywhere. Basit Ali also commented on the same. Referring to the upcoming Asia Cup amid rising India-Pakistan political and diplomatic tensions, Basit expressed his hope that the BCCI refuses to take part in the match, saying it would spare Pakistan an on-field humiliation.
