00:00 Basit, "disappointing" is a small word for yesterday's performance.
00:05 We were all over the place.
00:07 And right before the World Cup, it was our last match.
00:10 So, we had our series against New Zealand,
00:14 our series against Ireland and then against England.
00:17 These were the matches we were focused on.
00:21 We were ready for this.
00:22 And the team that was unsettled
00:25 will come back on track before the World Cup.
00:27 And that didn't happen.
00:29 You said a very good thing.
00:30 Our home series against New Zealand.
00:33 We lost everything there.
00:36 We were talking about the match against Ireland.
00:39 But when we won two matches, we forgot about everything.
00:42 I was saying, we were playing a match on the boat.
00:45 And their bowling was so good, everyone was praising it.
00:49 But our main series against New Zealand,
00:52 we felt it there.
00:54 We were talking about experiments.
00:58 But nothing happened.
00:59 And when the team announced the gold medal,
01:02 the middle-order original batters
01:06 - didn't get the award. - They didn't get the award.
01:07 The ones who were supposed to get the award,
01:09 they got the award.
01:10 So, that's how the performance will be.
01:12 That's right.
01:14 Mr. Shahid, some people say, and I agree with them,
01:17 that we didn't want to achieve anything from this series.
01:22 Because conditions are going to be totally different
01:25 in USA and West Indies.
01:26 So, we're playing against England and Ireland.
01:29 Wouldn't it be better if we did this earlier?
01:32 And if we played our warm-up game there,
01:35 we would have known the unknown territory.
01:37 That's right.
01:38 Thankfully, the series against the Netherlands
01:41 and Ireland got cancelled.
01:43 Otherwise, if we had played against the Netherlands, Ireland,
01:46 England, and then went,
01:47 we would have got even less time.
01:50 If you had cancelled the series against Ireland,
01:52 it would have benefited Ireland.
01:54 - It didn't benefit us. - Obviously.
01:55 If you had played three matches against England,
01:57 and you had finished the series on 22, 24, or 25,
02:01 and you would have played two warm-up matches there.
02:04 Like Basit said, we lost the home series against New Zealand.
02:07 Because the conditions in the home series
02:10 were the same as those in West Indies and USA.
02:13 The conditions in England are completely different.
02:15 We won't get the same conditions in West Indies and USA.
02:17 The England team that was playing yesterday,
02:19 you can see that they will struggle in West Indies.
02:21 Their batters won't be able to hit the same way
02:23 as they were hitting yesterday.
02:24 But again, there are a lot of questions.
02:27 When will the team management ask those questions?
02:29 If we were there at the press conference, we would have asked
02:32 why Iftikhar doesn't let him bowl?
02:34 Why is Rizwan not keeping?
02:37 In three matches against Ireland, two matches against England,
02:40 Azam Khan kept in five matches.
02:42 He's not a good keeper.
02:43 He's a better keeper than him.
02:45 - Rizwan and Usman are here. - Rizwan is a genuine keeper.
02:49 He's the number one wicket-keeper in the team.
02:50 So why isn't he keeping?
02:51 Then you played five matches,
02:53 you didn't let Abrar bowl.
02:54 Will you let him bowl in the USA only?
02:57 Do you think he's a mystery bowler?
03:00 - The world does a lot of homework. - It's done.
03:03 He has videos of every match.
03:04 He played in Bangladesh Premier League, PSA,
03:07 he played a test match.
03:08 His videos are available.
03:10 There's no mystery.
