Pak vs Eng Test series | "PCB Management ka Imtehan Shuru" | Former Cricketer Analysis

Transcript

00:00Welcome to Sports Room, I am your host Najeeb ul-Hasnain.

00:16Pakistan cricket team has started preparations in Multan for the first test match against

00:21England.

00:22English team will start their training from tomorrow.

00:24To talk about this important series we have with us former cricketer Abdul Rauf.

00:28Rauf, Assalam-o-Alaikum, welcome to the show.

00:30Assalam-o-Alaikum.

00:31First of all, please tell me what are the expectations from the series against England?

00:38Pakistan team has started preparations.

00:40Obviously, it would have been better if we had played a practice match, a four-day cricket

00:45match.

00:46But that didn't happen.

00:47England's side, Pakistan, has come.

00:48They will also start their practice from tomorrow.

00:50We have not won any series since 2021.

00:52What will you say?

00:54Firstly, it will be a tough series because England's team is very strong.

00:59If you look at their past series, they have performed very well.

01:04Secondly, if you look at Pakistan's last 3-4 test series, Pakistan has not been successful

01:10in that.

01:11In the last two series, Pakistan has been whitewashed.

01:14Bangladesh has been whitewashed.

01:16Australia has been whitewashed.

01:18Now home series are coming.

01:20There is a lot of difference in England's team.

01:23They are struggling because their most premier fast bowler, James Anderson, has a lot of

01:28experience of playing on the subcontinent.

01:31He has retired.

01:32Ben Stokes has not recovered from his hamstring injury.

01:36He will not bowl in the first test.

01:39Another upcoming fast bowler, Joe Shull, who bowled very well against England, has also

01:45been ruled out due to injury.

01:48His bowling will struggle a little, which can benefit Pakistan's team.

01:52But the point is that you can say about his fast bowling.

01:56He also has quality spinners.

01:58His batting is very strong.

02:00Compared to Pakistan, on paper, on the field, much better side.

02:04And our problem is that we don't even know how to make pitches.

02:08Now if we make a batting wicket or a spin wicket, we can get trapped in that trap.

02:16This will be a genuine test of the management of the Pakistan Cricket Board.

02:21Because the way they made pitches against England last time and they were defeated

02:27comprehensively.

02:28After that, even against Bangladesh, they could not make this pitch according to their

02:33will, nor could they take this home advantage.

02:35And after that, the biggest blunder was that team selection could not be done on their

02:39merit.

02:40The problem is that England's fast bowling attack is not that strong.

02:43But their spin bowling attack, in which there is Shoaib Bashir, Rehan Ahmed and Leak,

02:48they have been playing for England for a long time and are playing a major role in their

02:53victories.

02:54So now Pakistan depends on the cricket board whether it will depend on its fast bowlers

02:59in Multan or it will depend more on spinners and be a victim in the favor of spin bowlers.

03:05So now this is a real test of the management of the Pakistan Cricket Board, how they go

03:10about it.

03:11Absolutely right.

03:12Salman Ali Agha is the all-rounder of the Pakistan team.

03:15What does he think about this series?

03:17Let's listen to him.

03:18We played three tests against them.

03:20I got the idea of how tough the team can be and how tough the challenging conditions

03:24will be.

03:25But for that, we are preparing ourselves and will try to get better results than last

03:29year.

03:30And these are our goals.

03:32But the team is first.

03:33I don't think there will be much difference for them.

03:35When you look at their batting record in the captaincy, I think it is outstanding.

03:38And this is their personal decision, which we have to respect.

03:41We got the idea of how they play cricket.

03:43We have also made such plans.

03:45We will try to tackle them in the same way as they play cricket.

03:48We have also planned to follow our plans.

03:50The way they play cricket, they will have to be tackled in the same way.

03:54And at the same time, they said about the captaincy of Babur Azam.

03:58So, Rauf, taking advantage of your presence, what will you say about the captaincy of Babur

04:02Azam?

04:03We are detracting a little from this test series.

04:05They left the captaincy of Limited Overseas.

04:07Look, I think they are detracting the whole of Pakistan.

04:10And I think the way the management of the Pakistan Cricket Board has been going on in

04:15the past, they will cause uncontrollable and irreversible damage to Pakistan's cricket.

04:19I don't think it will be easy for Pakistan to recover from this.

04:23I don't think it will be easy for Pakistan to recover from this.

04:28Because if you look at the past history, after 1996-98, Pakistan struggled in cricket

04:34because of the match-fixing scandal in Pakistan.

04:37Then in 2008, when Sri Lanka was attacked, Pakistan suffered for a very long time.

04:43Then the 2010 match-fixing scandal, there was a struggle.

04:46Now, to save yourself, to save your position,

04:51Thank you very much.

04:53Let's take a break.
