" Domestic Mein Bohat Se Larkoon Ne Performance Di Hai, Sab Team Mein Nahi Aa Satke.." Kamran Akmal

Transcript

00:00 We have tried to give value to domestic cricket and give opportunities to the performers.

00:07 There are many boys in domestic cricket, all of them have given performances, they cannot come in the team.

00:13 But one thing this selection committee will definitely do is to prepare a backup.

00:18 And where there is a need to give confidence, to give opportunities to new players, we will definitely give opportunities.

00:26 In the selection, you must have seen that 8 boys have been going on the New Zealand tour for many years.

00:31 They have come to give them experience. There is also a World Cup.

00:34 So this is the time to take such chances in white ball cricket.

00:38 Prepare a team, prepare a backup.

00:41 So keeping that in mind, we have selected, the whole team, the selection committee.

00:46 And after that, you see that for 5-6 years, there has been selection from the same tournament.

00:52 And domestic cricket was not given so much value. So that at least,

00:56 it will not happen with the selection committee, at least the performance of the domestic will be seen.

01:01 As I said, T20 World Cup is near, so many people believe that giving rest to Shadab Khan,

01:10 it is being said that he is injured, but we also know that he has been dropped.

01:14 Along with that, tell me, is this the right decision to give him rest?

01:18 World Cup is near, so they should have given more confidence.

01:22 And if we talk about performance, then Nawaz and Shadab have almost similar performance.

01:27 So one is in the team, one is not. How is this?

01:30 Look, as far as Shadab is concerned, you know, we know, the whole of Pakistan knows.

01:35 No doubt, he is a team man and there is energy when Shadab is playing in the team.

01:41 But along with that, you have to see his form.

01:44 We have not seen his performance in bowling for a long time.

01:48 We did not see confidence. Unfortunately, he was unfit.

01:52 If he is fit after 8-10 days, he will play the Patron Trophy.

01:55 If he goes and does long bowling, then confidence will come and a rhythm will come back,

01:59 which is a very important player for the Pakistan team.

02:02 And where the World Cup is, such a bowler and such a bowler cannot be missed.

02:06 We are the Pakistan team. So that's why we thought it was very unfit.

02:11 But my opinion and that of the rest of the team was that Shadab should play the Patron Trophy,

02:18 do long overs, have confidence and we should not feel any pressure for the World Cup.

02:23 As you must have seen recently, his form was not so good,

02:27 because of which the team was struggling, not getting out in the middle.

02:30 So keeping both these things in mind, we have tried to get his rhythm back and perform out,

02:37 which is a very important role. Shadab should come in the middle and out,

02:41 whether it is T20 or Bhande cricket, so it is very important that his form comes.
