02:21 and as a team, the players will think about winning and the game plan will be good.
02:27 So we will definitely win. We went and won the test series in 2011, we have won the test series in 2009, we have won the test series in Wellington.
02:36 Even before that, the players who used to go used to win the test series or win a match.
02:41 They used to dominate such teams, it was only because of their aggression and game plan. And the speed of our fast bowlers, the experience,
02:54 then the domestic players used to come to the team with maturity, we will have to repeat those things again.
03:01 Then we will go and win. Then in domestic cricket, we will have to increase the value of our domestic cricket.
03:06 I will not say that I blame my domestic cricket. Whoever comes to PCB, he blames domestic cricket first.
03:14 He tries to change it, which has caused damage to Pakistan's cricket, to the players.
03:19 This does not mean that we have to increase the quality of domestic cricket.
03:24 It's called doing a good environment. It will be the same when you get all these test centers to play four-day cricket, one-day cricket,
03:32 and all the matches in one city.
03:36 We have to focus on these points and we have to go out and perform well.
03:42 As I said, this is a series against New Zealand, T20 series, and our cricket is much better in this format.
03:50 Captain Kane Williamson himself admits this. He believes that the Pakistan team can beat anyone in this format.
03:58 He said that they are excellent players and that the competition will be very strong.
04:06 Let's have a look.
04:30 Kane Williamson, we agree that Pakistan's team is very dangerous in white ball cricket.
04:37 But what we are most afraid of is fielding.
04:41 This disease has become bad fielding. Why do we make so many mistakes in this field?
04:47 Najeeb, these are old things and every boy works hard on it.
04:55 I think fielding is a skill that is not natural. The more you work hard, the better it is.
05:03 So first of all, all boys should think that they have to spend extra time in fielding with the fielding coach.
05:09 They have to take the fielding coach to the players.
05:12 When the team is doing it, you just have to do that much fielding and go to the dressing room.
05:16 You have to work a little extra.
05:18 All the best fielders in the world, even the best Pakistan fielders, Shoaib Malik, Imran Hajiq, used to do extra fielding.
05:27 The net used to run out and the team would go, but they used to do extra fielding.
05:32 When Saeed Ajmal came in the beginning, I will give an example of him.
05:35 He was very light, so the fielding in front of you was not so good.
05:39 But he used to do extra half an hour, quarter of an hour fielding.
05:42 He saw how good his fielding was.
05:45 So these are the things, you have to show interest in this.
05:48 What kind of intent are you doing fielding?
05:51 What are you doing with a thought?
05:53 Are you doing it to get better or just to fulfill the formality?
05:56 So first, boys should think this.
05:58 Then the fielding gets better.
06:00 Coming back to the series, in which we are talking again and again that this is the preparation for the World Cup.
06:07 So for this, there was a lot of talk going on for a long time that Baba and Rizwan do not make the right pair in T20 format.
06:14 And this time it has also come to light that they are not opening.
06:18 It is the year of the World Cup.
06:20 What do you think about Saim Ayub and also the selection of Mohd Hariz?
06:25 Have they also been kept in consideration?
06:28 Yes, absolutely.
06:31 This is the year of the World Cup, you know.
06:34 And it is the preparation for the World Cup.
06:36 Before the World Cup, you know that there are 17-18 T20 matches.
06:40 The series that has just started with New Zealand, including this.
06:45 And you know that there are 5-6 players like this.
06:48 If a big event comes or a big team comes, without them, our team is not complete.
06:54 Like Babar, Rizwan, Shaheen, Kaptaan, Haris, Shadab.
06:59 These are the players of that category that they are automatic choice.
07:03 But with that, you also have to prepare the backup.
07:07 And the backup is ready when you manage the workload and give rest to the senior players.
07:13 Every team in the world does this to its senior players.
07:16 And then the backup is also ready.
07:18 So we have to develop this thought first.
07:21 And this is a full effort from our side.
07:23 And they are our best players, match winner players.
07:26 And Babar and Rizwan, if the number should be changed, it is the decision of the captain and management.
07:31 This is their call.
07:33 But we can prepare the junior players by keeping them with us.
07:39 You talked about Haris, no doubt he is a great wicketkeeper and batsman.
07:43 He is such a player that when he is set, he will look like a different player, a wicketkeeper.
07:49 But first, he has to improve himself.
07:53 Okay, Kamran is with us.
07:55 Let's take a break here.
07:56 Don't go anywhere. We'll be right back.
07:57 [Music]
08:13 Glad to have you back once again to Sports Room.
08:16 And before going on break, we were talking about this important T20 series.
08:20 Which is starting in Auckland from tomorrow.
08:22 Pakistan versus New Zealand.
08:24 And on this, Pakistan's T20 captain Shaheen Shah Afridi believes that he doesn't think Babar Azam's form is bad.
08:33 He says he has made so many runs that he can't even count.
08:36 And he said that he will try to play well in this series.
08:40 What did he have to say? Let's show you first.
08:42 Babar Rizwan will be the best opening pair of Pakistan.
08:46 I don't think Babar Azam's form is bad.
08:50 I have made so many runs that I can't even count.
08:54 As a cricketer, for me, test cricket is my first priority.
08:57 How you react as a professional, you have to be ready for every challenge.
09:01 We have 17 matches before the World Cup.
09:03 We will try not to make any mistakes.
09:06 We will try to record against New Zealand, Bardawas and the best T20 side.
09:10 All these things are fine.
09:12 But Shaheen Shah Afridi has said something that has gone viral on social media.
09:18 Regarding speed gun, let's see what he had to say.
09:22 When I was bowling, I was looking at the board and I was surprised.
09:28 I didn't know that the body was bowling from the start.
09:32 And he is bowling so hard that he comes to 132-133.
09:35 I was surprised.
09:37 I thought that he will not be able to do more than this.
09:40 But no, sometimes it's fine.
09:43 In test cricket, you can't do more than 140 in every ball.
09:46 The body is not a machine.
09:48 Sometimes it takes time.
09:50 I am trying to fit myself more.
09:52 To talk about this, we have sports correspondent Shahid Hashmi.
09:55 Shahid sir, Assalam-o-Alaikum.
09:57 Wa-alaikum-as-salam.
09:58 Shahid sir, earlier, the team director said that it was a technology curse.
10:02 Which he shouldn't have said.
10:04 Now, your T20 captain is saying that looking at the speed gun,
10:07 it looked like we were bowling very fast.
10:09 Is it already fixed or it won't go ahead?
10:12 Isn't it strange?
10:14 Yes, absolutely.
10:16 At first, it felt like they were questioning.
10:19 Then they said in the lighter way that in test cricket, there is a little more fatigue.
10:23 You can't do every ball at 140.
10:25 So, at first, it felt like they were questioning the technology and speedometer.
10:30 So, this was the speedometer on which Amit Jamal's 138-139 came.
10:35 And probably he was the fastest Pakistan's fast bowler in this series.
10:40 Shahid must have a little fatigue and an idea of injury.
10:45 That I have to preserve my knees a little.
10:48 And because of this, he didn't play the third test because of rest.
10:52 So, saying this on the speedometer, at first it felt like it was a lighter way.
10:57 But at the same time, it also felt like they were questioning.
11:00 Absolutely right.
11:01 Thank you very much, Shahid Hashmi was with us.
11:03 And he was talking about this strange statement.
11:07 Kamran is also with us.
11:08 Kamran, there was a big issue that was being discussed about injuries.
11:12 And we always talk about workload management.
11:16 So, we have to see what should be done so that players give more priority to the country's cricket.
11:24 Don't go towards the leagues.
11:26 What is the Pakistan Cricket Board doing for this? What steps are they taking?
11:29 No, the PCP has done a great job.
11:35 Because of which players go and give more importance to league cricket.
11:39 So, the PCP has done a great job in making the center contract big for every player.
11:45 You see what amount they are getting, what is B getting, what is C getting, what is D getting.
11:52 So, this can be done by the PCP.
11:54 The match fees have increased so much that players are getting just the right amount to play.
11:59 That's why they don't give more importance to league cricket.
12:02 So, give more importance to your national duty.
12:05 Give more focus to this.
12:06 Because this is why our cricket will survive.
12:09 Unfortunately, the boys who have gone, who are thinking, they did not have coordination at all.
12:15 Team management or selectors.
12:17 We have finished these things.
12:19 Along with that, I have talked to every boy.
12:21 Whoever meets or talks on the phone, comes in front of me, goes to the matches, is in the camp.
12:27 So, we talked to them.
12:28 They have been given security that it is part of the system.
12:31 And you see that M.A. Shehzad has come to the camp.
12:34 How much experience he has performed.
12:36 He should not feel that I have become completely sidelined.
12:40 Before that, whoever came, what should I call the name, that they had completely ignored such players.
12:47 So, these things are not good for Pakistan's cricket.
12:50 The big teams that are formed, the big management,
12:53 who are taking their cricket team with a lot of maturity,
12:57 they are filling all these things.
13:01 Okay, it's a big deal about spin bowling.
13:03 And we don't have a spinner of this department so strong.
13:09 So, Imad Waseem has taken retirement.
13:11 But from his words, it seems that he can review his decision.
13:15 What are you thinking about the selection committee for Imad Waseem?
13:19 See, I had talked to him myself when he took retirement.
13:25 I had not become a member of this system yet.
13:28 So, I had talked to him that why is it so early?
13:31 He was playing T20, he played two series with New Zealand and Afghanistan.
13:35 But whatever he told his reason, maybe he would have told the management too.
13:43 But this is also a thing, you see that after the 2021 World Cup,
13:46 he was completely sidelined for a year and a half.
13:50 Only because of this liking and disliking.
13:52 So, we will have to end these things.
13:55 And Imad is a Pakistan's asset, he is a performer.
13:58 If he thinks, definitely he should tell the team management and PCB.
14:04 And after that, it is our job to play cricket, play domestic, play PSL,
14:09 give performance and come back again.
14:11 This is our job.
14:13 And we have to see every boy with one eye.
14:17 So, if Imad comes in it, it will be very good for Pakistan and Imad too.
14:22 Okay, now our test is against New Zealand.
14:25 But you yourself said that all the matches are part of the preparation for the World Cup.
14:29 So, which players are being brought under more attention for the World Cup?
14:35 No, there is no player who you can say is confirmed for the World Cup.
14:44 I have already mentioned the names of the 5-6 players who are coming regularly to play.
14:50 Without them, the team is not complete.
14:54 But we have to make the other players play too.
14:58 So, I think we are trying to make a good team.
15:01 Before the World Cup, the combination should be good.
15:04 The box is empty, the box is weak, they should be able to feel it.
15:10 It will be like this when you prepare the backup.
15:12 So, finally, the picture will be visible.
15:16 But you must have seen the pool of players.
15:20 How much has been made, how much performers have come forward.
15:23 So, taking the name of someone or telling the final team is too early.
15:30 You will definitely see it when you go close.
15:33 At least, whichever team will be made, keeping Pakistan in front,
15:38 keeping the condition of the World Cup in front,
15:42 the best combination that can be made is definitely there.
15:45 Okay, Kamran, we all know that these 2 years, 24 and 25, are very important for Pakistan cricket.
15:52 So, what have you planned for the players' backup?
15:56 See, cricket is a lot.
15:59 Pakistan and New Zealand will also come in the team.
16:03 You will find out everything at that time.
16:05 And this is the effort that has been happening in the past,
16:09 that it should not be repeated.
16:10 Our backup should be strong enough to give them experience.
16:16 That's why I have sent a team with new players.
16:19 There are 7-8 new players.
16:21 So, there is an effort that in T20 World Cup and Champions Trophy,
16:25 there should not be anything in which a team comes under pressure by going close.
16:30 Our bowler should not be unfit.
16:33 If the batsman is unfit, then the replacement should be ready, mature, and then get confidence.
16:40 So, all these things are being done while keeping in front.
16:43 And you have seen in domestic, how many boys have given performance.
16:48 A lot of great talent has been seen in front.
16:52 You are seeing under-19, how great fast bowlers have come.
16:56 And then you see that the domestic performers, in T20, in the One Day Cup, in the Four Day,
17:02 the seniors and juniors are all making an effort.
17:06 And this is a good sign for Pakistan.
17:08 Thank you very much.
17:09 Cameron Akmal was with us.
17:10 And you know that tomorrow a great series is starting.
17:15 Pakistan versus New Zealand.
17:17 So, he was giving his expert opinion about it.
17:19 And also, he also believes that this is the year of the World Cup.
17:22 So, they are making backups.
17:23 They are planning accordingly, so that the performance in the World Cup is better.
17:28 That's all for today's program.
17:29 I am Najeeb Ul-Hasnain, signing off.
17:31 Take care of yourself.
17:32 Allah Hafiz.
