00:00 First of all, I would like to know, the World Cup is taking place in America.
00:04 And how good is this for the promotion of cricket?
00:09 Well, of course, in the recent past we have seen that the American market, in terms of creating this type of events,
00:20 especially cricket, you know, it is flourishing a lot.
00:23 So, I think it was the right time, a very good decision by ICC to develop here at this time.
00:30 And not only game development, but along with this, the business development that will take place there,
00:35 and in every state, people have become very active, you know, with this game.
00:41 In the last few years, we have seen, Pakistani cricketers, you have seen, from here,
00:46 who had a very low chance of Pakistan cricket team, they have gone.
00:51 Similarly, many cricketers from India have settled there, they have got nationalities.
00:56 So, overall, if you see, not only the game, but itself, for the entire industry of cricket,
01:03 I think it is a big mark of ICC, which is holding at this time, ICC event.
01:10 Absolutely, and if you see, I would like to add one more thing, that 20 teams are playing,
01:14 every continent's team is representing, so it is very good, it is very good for promotion of cricket.
01:21 Of course, promotion is happening, absolutely, and the way ICC gave status of T20 to so many countries a few years ago,
01:31 the main reason for that is that you develop cricket so much in the whole world,
01:37 so that cricketers get benefit in every way, organizers get benefit,
01:42 and of course, the sponsors, broadcasters, you know, everyone has,
01:47 it should be said, through the industry, a revenue generation,
01:52 that is very good, throughout the world.
01:55 So, I think it is a very, very correct decision of ICC, and promoting T20 cricket, cricket through T20 format.
02:05 Absolutely right. Very good.
02:06 Absolutely right. Then, obviously, we are talking about Pakistan team,
