00:00We saw that three cricketers, Afghan cricketers were killed as you just mentioned.
00:05Do you think that this is the time when ICC must review the security situation
00:09of the entire region and ban Pakistan from playing at all?
00:14You have a strong point because I think the Afghan cricket team has already
00:18returned from Pakistan. They were to play some tournament there I believe and
00:22they were there and they have come back from that. So I think that is a start point
00:27and a stage will come. I think the ICC where the chairmanship is with India now
00:35should take a common sense and Afghanistan Cricket Council should put across this
00:41point in a very strong manner because unless this comes from Afghanistan
00:45ICC will not be able to technically take any action. So Afghanistan must take it up
00:53in an official manner with ICC and I'm sure that this is a very strong case to ban Pakistan
01:03from all ICC events and it will be a kind of a message to all countries in this world
01:10who are supporting terrorism.
01:12We will see more pan out in the next couple of days. Negotiators from both the countries
01:18Afghanistan and Pakistan are already going to Doha to discuss about the situation to try
01:24and de-escalate it. But do you think we can see a full-blown war between the countries
01:30given the fact that Taliban doesn't have much of air power. We don't know much about the
01:35fighter jets, how many of them Taliban has but it mostly relies as you just mentioned on
01:40guerrilla warfare. Do you think that this situation can turn into a full-blown war?
01:45See, comparison of the armies is there's hardly anything because Pakistan army is 6.5 lakhs.
01:55They are only 1.5 and they don't have any much of air power. I think 23 light attack American
02:03aircrafts are there and they have some helicopters, 30 or 40 of them attack helicopters which have
02:13been left by the Americans and they have a problem of spares. I believe now Russia is helping them
02:18with the spares. They have those T-52 and T-72 tanks also with the Russian origin are there.
02:25But you see, I don't think they can match. But then you see, Pakistan cannot fight a conventional war
02:31there. Because first of all, Pakistan doesn't have the logistics to fight a war for a long duration.
02:38It can go inside and it can fight for a few days. Then remember Pakistan has got another front with
02:45India right now and which is quite hot. And I, you know, I would be surprised it would be
02:51President Anushish for me to say that possibly if Pakistan does that, that India has a very
02:58ripe opportunity to hit Pakistan at this point of time. Because this would be the best opportunity
03:04for a Pitzer-like movement because from the west side also and from the east side also both
03:12get engaged. But I don't think there will be a war.
03:21But I think there will be a war.
03:25We will have the war.
03:27The war is a war.
03:30That was a war.
03:44A war war is a war.
