‘Behuda zabaan’: Basit Ali slams Shami

Former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali criticized Indian fast bowler Mohammed Shami for calling Inzamam-ul-Haq a “cartoon” over his reverse swing allegations. On his YouTube channel, Ali labelled Shami’s comments as “behuda” (indecent) and disrespectful, urging Shami to respect seniors and choose his words wisely. Shami had previously dismissed Inzamam’s claims of ball-tampering by Team India during the T20 World Cup, calling them “cartoonish” and accusing Inzamam of misleading the public. Ali stressed the importance of maintaining dignity in cricketing discourse.
