01:32 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:34 He is back. He is not a member of the team.
01:37 He has a problem with his batting. He is not as good as Fahim Ashraf.
01:41 But Fahim Ashraf's record is also very poor.
01:44 He has an average of 11 points in Wanda.
01:47 All-rounder had 11.4.
01:50 I think Naseem Shah has a better record.
01:56 Similarly, he has 31 or 33 Wanda's with 23 wickets.
02:00 So, his wickets are less and his economy is good.
02:03 He is a very talented player.
02:05 He has not decided whether he is a test or a white ball all-rounder.
02:10 He has good numbers in the test.
02:12 He has scored 90 in the test.
02:14 He has also scored an out.
02:15 But the last 3 tests he played, he played very badly.
02:20 He was forced to play in the test team.
02:23 He played in Multan and Karachi against England.
02:26 He scored 2, 4, 3 overs.
02:29 He scored only 1 over in one inning.
02:31 The captain did not trust him.
02:33 If he did not trust the captain, why did he let him play?
02:36 So, he has a non-serious attitude.
02:39 He belongs to an affluent family.
02:43 Maybe he does not have a career in cricket.
02:45 If he does, then he should take it very seriously.
02:48 He is lucky that he was selected again.
02:52 And as Amir Jamal said, he is an all-rounder.
02:55 But you are saying that if he is not taking it seriously, then the selectors should take it seriously.
02:59 He has been in the big-batch for a long time.
03:03 He has scored a few hits.
03:05 He can become a good hitter in T20.
03:08 But if he is serious and has honesty and sincerity in his career, then he will move forward.
03:14 Otherwise, he will be in the team once or twice on the orders of Mickey Arthur and Babar Azam.
03:19 He is in the team because he is in their favor.
03:21 It is not bad if the captain or the director says that he will back you.
03:27 But it should not happen again and again.
03:29 The next player who has a lot of question marks is Mohammad Haris.
03:33 I know that he may not be a part of Playing XI.
03:36 But as a backup wicket-keeper, you are taking him.
03:38 But the numbers are not justifying it.
03:40 You were the captain in Emerging.
03:42 You were the winning team.
03:43 But you did not have your own performance.
03:45 So, why not somebody new?
03:47 If you do not want to go to Sarfaraz, then you can keep a new player.
03:50 Haris has not had much experience yet.
03:52 He has not played so many one-day matches.
03:54 He has played more than T20.
03:55 You will feed him one-day matches.
03:57 You will keep him in the backup.
03:58 Keep him with the team.
03:59 The next option is Mohammad Haris.
04:01 After that, Haseeb Ullah or Rohail Nazir comes.
04:05 Rohail has just left.
04:06 Rohail is also a good player.
04:08 But he also went back.
04:09 He was our captain in the U19.
04:11 Maybe in two World Cups.
04:12 After that, he went back.
04:14 We have an obvious choice of Haris.
04:18 Keep Haris with the team.
04:19 He will definitely be made.
04:20 He had shown a very good impact in T20 cricket.
04:23 He came and hit hard.
04:24 But Haris has to realize this himself.
04:26 He has to tell the coaching staff.
04:28 20 overs are 20 overs.
04:30 50 overs are 50 overs.
04:31 Absolutely right.
04:32 There is another player whose talent is witnessed by every former cricketer.
04:37 But again, in one-day matches,
04:39 is it justified for Abdulla Shafiq to be with the team?
04:43 Abdulla Shafiq is also a hugely lucky player.
04:46 Everyone says that Mizba brought him.
04:49 Mansoor Rana brought him.
04:51 These are the people who select players with sincerity and honesty.
04:54 Abdulla Shafiq was selected.
04:56 Now he scored a double hundred in the test.
04:58 He has played 29 runs in one-day matches.
05:01 He has played 7, 2 and 10.
05:03 He has played 3 one-day matches.
05:04 He is getting more chances.
05:05 He is lucky enough to get more chances.
05:07 At the expense of Shaan Masood,
05:09 who you had made the vice-captain of,
05:11 you suddenly removed him.
05:12 Consistency is not in selection.
05:14 Our selectors,
05:15 now a new selection committee has come.
05:17 New chief selectors have come.
05:18 For God's sake, look at the old team.
05:21 What was the old selection?
05:23 Kamran Ghulam came to the team
05:25 in the one-day tournament of Pakistan Cup.
05:28 As a concussion,
05:29 his one-day was counted.
05:31 Neither did he bat, nor did he bowl.
05:33 He fielded, maybe he ran out.
05:35 Where is he now? He has left.
05:37 Tayyab Tahir is lucky again.
05:39 He came to the team on the basis of one-day cup, T20 cup.
05:43 He performed well.
05:44 So you brought him to the team.
05:46 But for God's sake,
05:47 look at the selection of the previous team.
05:49 Also, look at the fact that
05:50 you made Shaan Masood the captain of the team.
05:53 Naib Captain.
05:54 Secondly,
05:55 the argument on the topic of Shaan Masood
05:59 is that your one-day openers are very stable.
06:02 There is no question of replacing them.
06:05 Babar comes after that.
06:07 Now, if Shaan would have played,
06:09 he would have played somewhere in the middle.
06:10 Which I agree,
06:11 in conditions like Sri Lanka and India,
06:13 you need a pitch in the middle
06:15 which can tackle the spin.
06:17 And that work could be done by Saud Shakeel,
06:20 for which you gave him a chance on Monday.
06:22 You have taken Saud Shakeel for only three Mondays.
06:24 You have removed Kamran Ghulam.
06:27 You have brought Saud Shakeel.
06:29 There will be three Mondays,
06:30 maybe he will get a chance in one.
06:31 You see, I will give you the next one.
06:33 Whenever our next Monday series will be after the World Cup,
06:36 Saud Shakeel will not be anywhere.
06:38 But then it will be on this that
06:39 Saud Shakeel gets these matches first.
06:42 If you have kept 18 and 17,
06:44 you have to give 18.
06:45 You have to give at least two Mondays,
06:47 on the basis of which he goes ahead or not.
06:50 So you should give him a full chance.
06:52 This has not happened in our country yet.
06:53 There are two or four players who are very lucky.
06:55 There is also Abdullah Shafiq.
06:56 He is a very good player.
06:58 He has talent, everything.
06:59 But he is not giving the number.
07:01 And there will come a time when
07:03 he will be selected in every format again and again.
07:05 Then people will say,
07:06 why is he so good?
07:07 The captain is in his favor.
07:08 He is a good player.
07:09 Many people are in his favor.
07:10 But there will come a time when you will say,
07:12 he has given more chances,
07:13 now bring someone else.
07:14 Absolutely right.
07:15 The last player,
07:16 about whom I also say that
07:18 he should be in the team,
07:19 but I don't understand the place,
07:21 is Imad Wasim.
07:22 According to the current form of Imad Wasim,
07:25 I feel that he should be in the World Cup squad.
07:28 The batting is also going very well.
07:30 With the ball, also he is performing.
07:32 What do you see in Imad?
07:34 Imad has not played one day for three years.
07:36 He was selected in the 2021 T20 World Cup.
07:39 I have seen a report after that,
07:42 in which there were questions on his fitness,
07:45 in which there were questions on his team contribution,
07:48 in which there were questions on his ability to take challenges.
07:52 So there were three or four questions
07:54 because of which he was not selected.
07:56 The player is obviously talented.
07:58 He has a batting average of 40+.
08:00 His economy is very good,
08:02 but he is getting a tie with Nawaz.
08:05 And Nawaz did well in the Asia Cup T20.
08:08 The captain, the consultant, the team advisor,
08:12 the team director, Mickey Arthur,
08:14 he is in the right.
08:15 So when the tie of two players is made,
08:17 then this happens.
08:18 Let me tell you that in the dressing room of England,
08:21 in the dressing room, your contribution,
08:23 your language and your sprits,
08:26 that also counts.
08:27 And there was a time when Johnny Bairstow
08:29 was not selected because
08:31 in the team dressing room,
08:32 his contribution was only three points out of ten.
08:35 He did not come because of three points.
08:37 But since McCullum came,
08:38 he not only contributed in the dressing room,
08:40 but his performance was also good.
08:42 So somewhere or the other,
08:43 Imad Waseem is lagging him.
08:45 And there was a complaint about him in the report.
08:47 He has also complained about his attitude in the report.
08:50 So when there are so many things,
08:52 then the captain also says how will I handle it.
08:54 The team director, the head coach will also say
08:56 how will I handle it.
08:58 But now he has time,
09:00 perform and come to the team.
09:01 Absolutely right.
09:02 It's time for a break.
09:03 We will have a discussion with us.
09:05 [MUSIC]
09:19 We are back once again to the sports room.
09:21 Shahid Hashmi is with us.
09:23 We were talking about the selection of the team.
09:25 We all agree that the team is very balanced.
09:28 And the next test for Pakistan is very important.
09:32 First, there is the series from Afghanistan.
09:34 And then the Asia Cup and then the World Cup.
09:37 So let's talk a little bit about how the team will perform.
09:40 Former fast bowler, Sarfaraz Nawaz, you all know.
09:44 He said a very good thing.
09:46 He said that if the Pakistan team is compared to India,
09:49 then it looks more balanced.
09:51 The Indian team is changing in the middle order again and again.
09:54 Because of that, they will not be confident.
09:57 He also said that his captain's performance
10:01 has its own questions.
10:03 On the other hand, the Pakistan team looks very balanced.
10:06 What did Sarfaraz Nawaz have to say?
10:08 Let's see.
10:10 The Indian team doesn't seem very strong.
10:13 Because they don't have a lot of middle order batting.
10:16 Even the opener, you see, his captain,
10:19 he hasn't been giving a good performance for many years.
10:23 So after that, what I have seen,
10:26 there is no combination yet.
10:29 And there are various things.
10:32 In every match, three or four players are different.
10:35 The captain is different.
10:36 So this doesn't develop the team.
10:39 The team gets spoiled.
10:40 So there should be a solid combination.
10:42 And all the players should know
10:45 which number they have to play.
10:47 And I think that's how the team improves.
10:51 I think Sarfaraz Nawaz has raised a very valid point.
10:55 Sometimes I feel that it is a blessing
10:57 that there is not a lot of talent.
11:00 When you made two teams and played like India,
11:03 they suffered a lot.
11:05 But they haven't been able to create a complete balance.
11:08 When there are too many options, then this is a problem.
11:10 Then with two or three of their players,
11:12 like Shriyas Iyer, Kale Rao,
11:14 there are problems with fitness.
11:16 They have completely removed Shikhar Dhawan
11:18 because Shubman Gill came from above.
11:20 They are also on the verge of feeding Ishan Kishan.
11:23 Sanju Samson is a very good player.
11:25 He also didn't get a proper chance.
11:27 So sometimes there are too many options,
11:29 so it is a problem.
11:30 But India, in India, is very strong.
11:34 They also talked about the captain's performance.
11:38 Rohit Sharma himself believes that
11:41 his performance is not such that
11:43 he can be guaranteed a selection.
11:45 He said that there is no guarantee for any player's performance.
11:48 When he performs under pressure against big teams in the Asia Cup,
11:53 then we will know what the future plan is.
11:56 Rohit Sharma himself is also keeping himself in the same
11:59 that the selectors will decide.
12:00 He is saying this with honesty.
12:02 But I remember that even before the 2019 World Cup,
12:05 his form was not so good.
12:07 He was outstanding in the 2019 World Cup.
12:09 He made a run-out in the match against us.
12:12 After that he hit that and made a big century.
12:16 So the World Cup will come.
12:17 Maybe there will be a tune-up in the first Asia Cup.
12:19 And then the World Cup is obviously a very big tournament.
12:22 He is also under pressure.
12:23 India has not won a major ICG tournament for a long time.
12:26 In 2013, he won the Champions Trophy for the last time.
12:29 He will play in front of his crowd.
12:31 So both things are there.
12:32 There is pressure and there is aspiration in him
12:36 to make a run in front of his crowd in his country.
12:39 Rohit Sharma is a very big player.
12:41 And as they say, form is very temporary.
12:44 Class is permanent.
12:45 True.
12:46 So he needs a few matches, a few big leagues.
12:49 May God not let him come before the World Cup.
12:51 And when you talked about a big player,
12:54 then while walking, Virender Sehwag also said something
12:57 and said that Pakistan is one of the favorites.
13:00 He has kept Pakistan in his final four.
13:02 And he said that when a big event comes, this team does something different.
13:06 And under the leadership of Babar Azam, he is slowly accumulating a lot of achievements.
13:09 So Sehwag is understanding this thing.
13:12 He is called the Nawab of Najafgarh.
13:14 There is a good assessment.
13:15 Sehwag was a good, intelligent cricketer in his time.
13:18 And whatever assessment he is doing now,
13:21 he is including Pakistan in the four teams.
13:23 Because Pakistan's bowling is very good.
13:25 Pakistan's batting is very good.
13:27 If luck is with us, we will win the World Cup.
13:29 Thank you very much, Mr. Shahid Hashmi, for being with us in today's program.
13:32 That's all for today.
13:33 I will take your leave now.
13:35 Take care of yourself. Allah Hafiz.
