00:00Hello and welcome to Sports Room, I am your host Najeeb Ul-Hasnain.
00:19As you know, the first T20 match between Pakistan and England, which was supposed to be in Leeds, has been postponed.
00:27And this is a very important stage for the preparation of the World Cup.
00:30As you know, Pakistan has not yet announced its squad for the T20 World Cup.
00:35And it is expected that it will be announced tomorrow.
00:38No major changes are expected.
00:40To talk about this, we have with us your well-known former Test cricketer Tauseef Ahmed.
00:44Tauseef Bhai, Assalam-o-Alaikum, welcome to the show.
00:46Wa-alaikum-salam, Najeeb.
00:49Tauseef Bhai, what is the situation that we have not been able to resolve?
00:54We have not yet announced the team.
00:57There are no surprise changes.
00:59We are the last team left.
01:01What is the reason behind this?
01:05We are planning.
01:06And secondly, why should we tell you?
01:10We have to keep you in suspense.
01:12Why should we keep you in suspense?
01:13Are you keeping us in suspense or the team is also in suspense?
01:18No, I don't think so.
01:19I think everything is ready.
01:21And there is nothing.
01:23And I think as you are saying, the news is also coming.
01:26As usual, as always, some people get to know about the team.
01:31And they announce it from the beginning.
01:35So I think there is no surprise in this.
01:38There are a few changes.
01:40Although, in my opinion, they are taking 5-5 bowlers.
01:45I am in favor of 4.
01:48But they must be thinking for some reason.
01:53Absolutely right.
01:54Our sports correspondent Shahid Hashmi is also with us.
01:56Let's talk to him too.
01:57Shahid, the announcement of the team is expected tomorrow.
02:00The question is, what is the need to delay so much?
02:05Do you have an idea who you have to feed?
02:08Maybe the Pakistani selector also found out that the time has come.
02:13That's why he took time.
02:15He announced it to all 19 teams.
02:17We kept it a secret that who will be our 15 players.
02:21But about 23 crore people know that these will be the 15 players.
02:28Yes, Mr. Shahid.
02:31I think 23 crore people will know that these are the 15 players.
02:36But the name is still a secret.
02:40But the time has come.
02:43The problem is, the thing that we were waiting for,
02:47the start of the England series,
02:50it started yesterday.
02:52We are still the only team whose combination hasn't been settled yet.
02:57The World Cup is very close.
03:01I think the combination is already set.
03:05You won't see anything new in it.
03:09You must be talking about the batting order.
03:12Or if you are talking about the team of 11,
03:15you will count 11 on your fingers.
03:20I think we know more.
03:22People know and maybe they have already given the team.
03:31But the announcement is a little late.
03:33I think you won't see anything new in it.
03:39The team that we have been talking about for so many days,
03:43they will be the 15 players.
03:48If there are reserves, that's it.
03:51After that, they sent one player to England.
03:57Mr. Shahid, please tell me,
03:59as Mr. Tauseef is saying,
04:01there is no such problem.
04:03Everyone knows it.
04:05But my problem is,
04:07your opening pair hasn't been settled yet.
04:09For a long time, we had a pair of Rizwan and Babar.
04:12We brought Saim, who will move towards modern day cricket.
04:15That hasn't been proved fruitful yet.
04:18Even after the World Cup is so close,
04:20you are the only team whose opener problem will still remain.
04:25Absolutely.
04:26We have spent a lot of time tracking the combinations.
04:31But this is how Pakistan's campaign works.
04:34No matter how many World Cups you watch,
04:362-3 players get disqualified from the ICC DVDs.
04:40And even now, you don't have a problem
04:45if you get a surprise,
04:47a player from outside comes in the top 15.
04:49That won't happen.
04:50But you can expect this from Pakistan.
04:53Anything can happen anytime.
04:55Mr. Tauseef, since we don't have much time,
04:57do you think we have to revisit the proper opening pair,
05:02which was Rizwan and Babar?
05:04Or is it still time to try Usman in the remaining matches against England?
05:12Yes, we should definitely try him.
05:15But I think the combination we are making for the World Cup,
05:18like you said, Rizwan and Babar,
05:23they had their own runs,
05:25but with time,
05:27whether we call it late or whatever,
05:29we have given a few chances,
05:31I will definitely talk about Saim Ayyub.
05:34So, what will happen?
05:36If anyone is thinking,
05:39Babar and Rizwan will come up,
05:43Saim Ayyub will come up.
05:46If something like this happens,
05:48I don't think anything can change.
05:51But yes, it is true,
05:53that in the remaining 15 matches,
05:55you have taken Usman's name.
05:57Yes, you have brought him.
05:59Everything is there.
06:00But in England,
06:02you have to check everything.
06:04Obviously, you have to look at the middle order.
06:06Everything else is settled.
06:09Absolutely right.
06:10Mr. Shahid, please tell me,
06:12we know that we have not been able to make the right combination of players.
06:17On top of that, when we go to America,
06:20there will be alien conditions in the USA,
06:22not just for us, but for everyone.
06:24So, isn't the situation for Pakistan more tough,
06:27that we have not been able to find that rhythm yet?
06:31You should have made it,
06:33and you still have three matches.
06:35You should go with the same combination
06:37that you have to put in the World Cup.
06:39You are thinking of making Usman play in three matches.
06:43Maybe that will prove better than Saim.
06:45But ideally, if you think,
06:47if you keep the combination of right and left,
06:49then you should keep Fakhar on top.
06:51And Garry Carson must be thinking,
06:54if we have to keep the combination of left and right,
06:57and not keep Saim Ayyub,
06:59then why not Fakhar?
07:00We have to try Fakhar.
07:01Fakhar plays well with fastballers.
07:03He plays well with powerplay.
07:04So, you should try this combination.
07:06It would have been better if it was settled before.
07:08But if it is not settled,
07:09then this is the Pakistani style,
07:11and we have to accept it as the Pakistani style.
07:13Yes, this is the Pakistani style.
07:15Tauseef bhai, the Pakistani style was also that
07:17we are always proud of our fastballing.
07:19We do it even today.
07:20But today, we are not able to see that kind of bowling.
07:23The same bowlers,
07:24who were world-class till yesterday,
07:26were number one,
07:27are now struggling a little.
07:29And in the other teams of the world,
07:30they are more focused on the spinners,
07:32considering the USA and the West Indies.
07:35What would you say?
07:38You are right.
07:39And if we go back a little,
07:41then we have really struggled a lot.
07:43There was such a bowling,
07:45that a lot of people,
07:46even in foreign teams,
07:48used to say that Pakistan's bowling is very dangerous.
07:52And Shaheen Afridi,
07:53who was more focused,
07:55everyone used to do it.
07:56So, we faced a lot of difficulties in 2-3 events.
08:00Neither our spinners worked,
08:02nor our fastballers.
08:04Because of that,
08:05we saw that
08:06to improve bowling,
08:08we brought in Aamir,
08:14and left-arm spinners,
08:17Ahmad Waseem.
08:19So, we tried to control both these things.
08:23But actually,
08:24what is happening is that
08:25you are worried about bowling,
08:28you were worried about batting earlier.
08:30So, even now,
08:32what Shahid Bhai is saying,
08:35if he tries to bring Fakhar up,
08:38then I think,
08:39then it will be like,
08:41Fakhar is making runs down.
08:43So, even now,
08:45I think,
08:46it's a long match.
08:48It's enough.
08:49You go from this,
08:50watch a little.
08:52Give Shaheen another chance.
08:55Here, I will tell you,
08:57nothing is going to happen in England.
08:59The one who has done it,
09:01will definitely do it.
09:03Make up your mind.
09:05I think,
09:06even now,
09:07I would like to take Saim with me.
09:09But he should also think,
09:12that I have to do something.
09:14Absolutely right.
09:15One last question,
09:16Tauseef Bhai,
09:17quickly tell me,
09:18there are still three matches left.
09:20Where are you looking at the result?
09:23Look,
09:24there is no problem.
09:26This format is our good team.
09:28I am telling you.
09:30It's just that,
09:32people say,
09:33Pakistan will do something.
09:35Now, the time has come,
09:37that there is no need to say anything.
09:39If they do something,
09:40it's good.
09:41I think,
09:42if everything happens in batting and bowling,
09:45then I pray to God,
09:46that everything goes well.
09:47Okay, thank you very much.
09:49Shahid Hawa and Tauseef Ahmed were with us.
09:51And they were updating us on this.
09:53The announcement of the Pakistan team,
09:55is expected tomorrow.
09:56And everyone thinks,
09:57that there will be no surprise in this.
09:59Let's take a small commercial break here.
10:01After the break,
10:02wicketkeeper batsman,
10:03and we all know,
10:04Kamran Akmal will be with us.
10:05Don't go anywhere.
10:06We will be right back.
10:18Glad to have you back,
10:19once again to Sports Room.
10:20And as promised,
10:21Kamran Akmal is with us.
10:22And we will talk to him.
10:23Kamran, assalamu alaikum.
10:24Thank you very much for giving us time.
10:25And obviously,
10:26today,
10:27it was expected,
10:28that we would talk about yesterday's match.
10:29But yesterday,
10:30there was no match in the league.
10:31It was raining.
10:32So, just before the break,
10:33we were talking,
10:34that apart from Pakistan,
10:35all the teams have been announced.
10:37There is a delay in Pakistan's announcement.
10:40It is expected,
10:41that it will be done by tomorrow.
10:42But,
10:43one thing we saw,
10:44that the focus of the other teams,
10:45is on the spinners.
10:46And we are focusing on the fast bowlers.
10:48Is this the right decision,
10:49in your opinion?
10:51Najeeb,
10:52even I am not able to understand,
10:54where are we going?
10:56What are we thinking?
10:58And,
10:59you see,
11:00all the scores,
11:01that have been announced,
11:02for T20,
11:03they have kept the conditions,
11:04in front of them,
11:05what they have done.
11:06You see,
11:072-3 spinners,
11:08have been announced.
11:09We have only announced,
11:10one spinner,
11:11Ibrahim Ahmed.
11:12The other one,
11:13who should have gone,
11:14Osama,
11:15he has left Pakistan.
11:16Anyways,
11:17those who have left,
11:18we will talk about them.
11:19That,
11:20you did not make Ibrahim Ahmed,
11:21play against Ireland.
11:23This means,
11:24that I feel,
11:25that somewhere,
11:26he is looking confused.
11:27Or,
11:28he is not getting confidence,
11:29on Ibrahim Ahmed.
11:30He has taken him,
11:31but he is not getting confidence,
11:32to play against him.
11:33Our team,
11:34is lagging,
11:35that we are not coming,
11:36in the middle and out.
11:37So,
11:38this is the difference.
11:39So,
11:40I think,
11:41we should have given Ibrahim Ahmed,
11:42a chance.
11:43And,
11:44we should have given him,
11:45full confidence.
11:46Then,
11:47England should have played the series.
11:48There should have been a different bowler,
11:49in the World Cup.
11:50So,
11:51Ibrahim Ahmed must be thinking,
11:52that I will play first,
11:53and fix my place.
11:54If I am out,
11:55or not,
11:56then there will be a lot of pressure,
11:57that you will take one spinner.
11:58Now,
11:59the World Cup team,
12:00is going to be announced.
12:01This will also be a surprise.
12:02It happens in every World Cup.
12:03In this World Cup,
12:04I think,
12:05it will happen.
12:06Okay,
12:07tell me,
12:08this is Babur Azam's,
12:09fourth World Cup,
12:10in which he will lead,
12:11the Pakistan team.
12:12Before that,
12:13the remaining three matches,
12:14against England,
12:15he will get a chance,
12:16in this.
12:17What are your expectations,
12:18and any advice,
12:19for Babur Azam?
12:20Look,
12:21Babur Azam,
12:22has been the captain,
12:23for the last four years.
12:24But,
12:25he has been the captain,
12:26for the last four years.
12:27Look,
12:28the learning process,
12:29never stops.
12:30No matter,
12:31how big a performer you are,
12:32no matter,
12:33how big a captain you are,
12:34somewhere,
12:35you will learn.
12:36So,
12:37Babur,
12:38I think,
12:39he is learning.
12:40He is absolutely fine.
12:41In many places,
12:42he didn't play spinners,
12:43in the playing side,
12:44you must have seen,
12:45the specialists,
12:46were talking.
12:47In many places,
12:48the intent of batting,
12:49in the first match,
12:50was not there.
12:51The ball changing,
12:52was not right.
12:53The field placing,
12:54was not right.
12:55All these things,
12:56Babur,
12:57this was a small series,
12:58in this,
12:59all the,
13:00analysis,
13:01Babur,
13:02must have done,
13:03on this thing.
13:04So,
13:05I think,
13:06in the coming time,
13:07I hope,
13:08it should be better,
13:09against England.
13:10It's a tough series,
13:11it's a World Cup.
13:12So,
13:13for that,
13:14Babur,
13:15must give good decisions,
13:16and good playing level.
13:17And,
13:18spinners,
13:19if you are giving spinners,
13:20then,
13:21after six,
13:22you must utilize that.
13:23You must utilize that.
13:24You must bring that.
13:25Not that,
13:26you bring a non-regular,
13:27like,
13:28you bring Saim Ayyub,
13:29or you bring Iftikhar,
13:30or you bring Ahmad Waseem,
13:31after 10 overs,
13:32you bring him over.
13:33Then,
13:34somewhere,
13:35you are giving another team,
13:36a chance to rise.
13:37So,
13:38you must control,
13:39on these things,
13:40that,
13:41if you catch a team,
13:42you must not give them,
13:43a chance to rise.
13:44Such decisions,
13:45such bowlers,
13:46you must use.
13:47Cameron,
13:48time and again,
13:49we talk about this,
13:50in our program,
13:51that,
13:52Pakistan was very confident,
13:53about England,
13:54and now,
13:55according to their expectations,
13:56they are not able to play.
13:57And,
13:58this is not,
13:59New Zealand's,
14:00inexperienced side,
14:01or Ireland's,
14:02weak side.
14:03This is,
14:04England's full strength.
14:05So,
14:06here,
14:07for us,
14:08this can become,
14:09a cause for worry.
14:10What will you say?
14:11This is a big point.
14:12We,
14:13you must remember,
14:14before the Asia Cup,
14:15we were saying,
14:16we,
14:17the whole world was saying,
14:18that,
14:19Pakistan's,
14:20best bowling attack,
14:21you see,
14:22that,
14:23in one match,
14:24and in the Asia Cup,
14:25in front of the world,
14:26all our bowling,
14:27was exposed.
14:28The Indian team,
14:29gave such a blow.
14:30So,
14:31now,
14:32how are we,
14:33going to rise?
14:34And,
14:35how are we going to perform?
14:36You see,
14:37there is a big dilemma,
14:38right now,
14:39I am understanding,
14:40that,
14:41first,
14:42our spinners,
14:43are not giving out.
14:44If they are,
14:45they are not playing.
14:46So,
14:47fast bowlers,
14:48are not giving out,
14:49even on a new ball.
14:50So,
14:51there is a worry point.
14:52So,
14:53I think,
14:54there is a lot of pressure,
14:55on fast bowling.
14:56And,
14:57we will have to improve,
14:58our bowling.
14:59Whether it is,
15:00bowling on a new ball,
15:01or on a new ball,
15:02until we don't give out,
15:03in today's modern day,
15:04cricket,
15:05in T20,
15:06then,
15:07you will feel,
15:08the score will be,
15:09very big.
15:10And,
15:11you will have to,
15:12hit it hard.
15:13So,
15:14we will have to improve,
15:15our bowling.
15:16And,
15:17from the beginning,
15:18our fast bowlers,
15:19are depending on them,
15:20a lot.
15:21So,
15:22even now,
15:23I feel,
15:24the bowling attack,
15:25we are depending,
15:26on fast bowling,
15:27a lot.
15:28Okay,
15:29thank you very much,
15:30Kamran Akmal was with us,
15:31and was sharing his opinion.
15:32That's all for today's program.
15:33Give your host,
15:34Najeeb Al Hasanain,
15:35permission.
15:36Take care of yourselves.
15:37Allah Hafiz.
