Pakistan team captain Babar Azam feels Australia's domestic T20 league Big Bash is better than the Indian Premier League.

Talking on Peshawar Zalmi's podcast, Babar said that the conditions are different in Australia and there is a lot of bounce in the pitches, from which you get to learn a lot.

According to Babar, playing in IPL on the other hand does not benefit you much, because here you play only in Asian conditions.

This however did not please former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh who reacted to his comment with a laughing emoticon on Twitter.

Interestingly, the captain of Pakistan has not participated in the Big Bash League even once. At the same time, due to political reasons, no Pakistani player is allowed to participate in IPL as well.
