Amir dismissed any underlying issues, emphasizing the mutual respect between them. In an interview with a local TV channel, he clarified that Babar, who was his junior during his time in the Pakistan team, has always shown him respect.
With a touch of sarcasm, Amir quipped, "Babar is not my ex-fiance that I won't like him."
Amir also clarified his previous statement, stating that he never referred to Babar as an average player or a tailender. He acknowledged Babar's excellence as a batter in Tests and ODIs but expressed a different opinion regarding his performance in T20s.
