Profile Summary

An aggressive batsman, Basit Ali was capable of bruising any bowling attack on his day. He made his debut for Pakistan on their tour of West Indies in 1993. His batting appeared to be tailor made for limited overs cricket. In 1993, he slammed the then fastest ton off just 67 balls against West Indies in Sharjah.

Later on he got embroiled in a match-fixing fiasco, which ruined his career. He played 9 Tests and 58 ODIs, hitting 858 and 1265 runs respectively before being forced into premature retirement.
