00:00Hello and welcome to Sports Room, I am your host Najeeb Ulhasnain.
00:20Viewers, as you all are eagerly waiting for this test series.
00:23The first test match between Bangladesh and Pakistan is starting from tomorrow in Pindi.
00:27The trophy of the series has also been announced.
00:30Captain Shan Masood says that we have to win our home matches for the World Test Championship.
00:36To talk about this, we have with us the former wicketkeeper batsman, you all know him, Kamran Akmal.
00:40Kamran, Assalam-o-Alaikum, welcome to the show.
00:42Walaikum Assalam, thank you very much.
00:45Kamran, first of all, tell us that you heard about Shan Masood, it is a big test for him.
00:50It is true that we were defeated in Australia, but it seemed that we played well and were going in the right direction.
00:57Now we have to capitalize on this and move forward.
01:00How do you see this test?
01:04I think this is a test.
01:06Before this, no such thing was said against such a team.
01:09So, it is tough.
01:12What can I say?
01:14As soon as the pitch report is coming, the pictures we have seen, the test of the batsmen will begin.
01:20Let's see how our batsmen perform.
01:24But in my opinion, this series should have been played through planning.
01:30According to the next series with England, how do we prepare for it?
01:35What is our strength? Is it fast bowling, spinner or batting?
01:39How can we catch England?
01:41If we have to keep the same conditions and pitches against England, then it is fine.
01:49But at that time, there should be no change.
01:51As far as my cricket experience is concerned, which I have shared in this showroom,
01:56God forbid, God forbid, if it happens in the 19th or 20th test match,
02:00then in the next test, you will see the batting highest score.
02:04We will see such pitches.
02:05We will see it for a short time.
02:07But what you are saying, it will not happen.
02:09Such a pitch will not happen against England.
02:11We will not be able to do this stupidity by watching their fast bowlers.
02:14What do you say?
02:15See, no one will be able to do this.
02:18But you design this series accordingly.
02:21Let's take it.
02:23Our spinners will have a big role against England.
02:26Let me tell you.
02:27The Pakistan team has made a mistake that they did not give spinners in this test match.
02:32What is the name of the pitch?
02:33But you will definitely need spinners against England.
02:37And you can't give them such conditions.
02:39They will finish the test match in two days or two and a half days.
02:44So it should have been taken accordingly.
02:46But anyway, don't take Bangladesh easily now.
02:49Because I am coming while saying fast bowling.
02:51I think they are winning the test match in New Zealand.
02:54They have won in this bowling.
02:56Good bowling attack, decent.
02:58They also have fast bowlers.
03:01So I don't think it will be such an easy test series.
03:03A while ago, Shan Masood said that we want to make Pakistan such a fort in the home.
03:08Like Australia and India are in their own home.
03:10So we followed Australia a little more.
03:13Their coach has also come from there.
03:15Our head coach is also there.
03:16Our curator is also Australian.
03:18Pitches are also being made like this.
03:19We are also doing more fast bowling.
03:22So are we following total Australia?
03:25Is this the reason?
03:27You cover so much cricket.
03:30Now you have also made your own YouTube channel.
03:33This is only against Bangladesh.
03:38All these experiments are for Bangladesh.
03:41Yes, but whatever experiments should be done, it is fine.
03:45Positive cricket has started.
03:47As Jushan said, it should be right.
03:49Our cricket will go up again.
03:51But we will never be able to play such cricket against India, Australia and South Africa.
03:58We will not be able to make such conditions.
04:00Because the hearts of your batsmen are small.
04:03You will have to show a lot of courage to your batsmen to accept such conditions.
04:08It will be the same situation when you start making it from domestic cricket.
04:13Get ready from there.
04:15They don't take plays from there.
04:17They take from T20.
04:18So I think the Pakistan team will struggle a little.
04:22But if the Pakistan team makes such pitches against India, then it is in front of you.
04:28But the series with Bangladesh is very important.
04:32Tell me, were you surprised when Abrar was sent to Shaheen from here?
04:37Even if he didn't want to play, he would have been with the team.
04:40He said, no need here, let's send it there.
04:42And the second thing is that you trust your pace and battery.
04:45But can't you even keep a proper spinner?
04:50I know a lot about Test cricket.
04:53I have been watching cricket for 25-30 years.
04:57Without a spinner, Test cricket is not fun.
05:00Like Marzi, the pitches are ready, the grass is also there.
05:04So great spinners are made like this.
05:06You have to feed them.
05:08Unfortunately, with Yassir Shah, what personal issue did you have with him?
05:17We wasted that person who could have scored 400-450.
05:22We made him out because of our liking-disliking.
05:25We made different pitches.
05:27It had an effect on his cricket.
05:29We have completely sidelined him.
05:31Now Abrar has come to you.
05:33He has settled.
05:34He has scored almost 40 in the Virtue Test matches.
05:37You have been with the team for 10 months.
05:42You have such a good spinner.
05:44They want you to play in the upcoming series.
05:49There is practice, confidence.
05:51You have made him travel for 8-10 months.
05:53There is no match practice.
05:54So this is the only thing.
05:56Professional teams, professional decision-making.
05:59That you prepare for the next series, which is a tough series.
06:03There is a lot of criticism.
06:07What do you think about it?
06:09Mir Hamza not being there.
06:12It is a surprise for me.
06:14Because Mir Hamza should have been there.
06:17He has done a good series in Australia.
06:19His condition was also seeming.
06:21For me, Naseem and Shaheen used to play every test match.
06:26They used to manage their workload.
06:28You know injuries have so many issues.
06:30The upcoming series is very important for us.
06:34They are left open.
06:36You are the main bowler.
06:37You have managed your workload.
06:39You give out.
06:41Let the team win the test match.
06:42Do a reverse swing.
06:43Give out with a new ball.
06:45They put pressure on England.
06:47They get a rush.
06:48The body also gets a rush.
06:49So Mir Hamza is fed.
06:51Okay, you have fed Muhammad Ali.
06:53He deserves it.
06:54He has given a performance.
06:55But you could have taken a more positive decision with a little planning.
06:59You could have taken this.
07:00You could have taken Saima Yohba.
07:02Okay, you played a test match 10 months ago.
07:05You played one test match.
07:06But there is an ethics of international cricket.
07:09There is a performance.
07:10There is a demand for international cricket.
07:14That you play with performance.
07:15The form is good.
07:16Recently, you dropped Imam.
07:18I don't know on which base you dropped him.
07:21On which base did you drop Saim?
07:23The test match you are talking about.
07:25Where he made his debut.
07:27He is 0 in the first inning.
07:28He is 33 in the second inning.
07:30Look, Mr. Najeeb.
07:31It's okay.
07:32He has scored 30 runs in the first and second innings.
07:36But one match is for Imam.
07:38For the rest, it's a whole year.
07:40They play all the cricket.
07:41That performance won't be counted.
07:43That one match will be counted.
07:44The 30 runs.
07:45That is more important.
07:46You had a regular opener with Imam.
07:49The settled player.
07:50You have removed the settled player.
07:52You have removed him.
07:53You ruin your own team by taking such decisions.
07:56Okay.
07:57You have dropped him.
07:58You have kept Huraira.
08:00Jason Gillespie saw Huraira.
08:02He scored 200 runs in Australia.
08:03With what intent did he do it?
08:05He scored 200 runs on 20-25 balls.
08:07After that, he topped in domestic.
08:10So, you see the form recently.
08:12Muhammad Huraira definitely should have been played.
08:15I am not saying that Saim Ayub is not good.
08:18He is a very good player.
08:19He is not confident.
08:21He is not confident.
08:22There is no form.
08:23There is more pressure on him.
08:25There were no runs in the side-match.
08:27So, in that respect, I am saying that
08:29it was lucky for me.
08:30Because he became a part of the squad.
08:32Okay, you made him a part of the squad.
08:33But in playing 11, I think Muhammad Huraira
08:36should have been given a chance.
08:37Okay.
08:38Thank you very much.
08:39Kamran Akmal was with us.
08:40And the team has told us about playing 11.
08:43According to that, they were giving their analysis on it.
08:46And they think, everyone else also thinks
08:49that it was very important for Abrar to be there
08:51without a proper spinner.
08:53No matter how much you trust your fast bowlers
08:56and what conditions they say,
08:58it is very important to have a proper spinner.
09:00Along with that, Mir Hamza is also surprised
09:02that he was not included in the team.
09:04And they also believe that Saim Ayub is very lucky
09:07that he got this chance here.
09:09Let's take a break here.
09:10Don't go anywhere.
09:11We will continue the discussion.
09:12Stay with us.
09:16Glad to have you back once again to Sports Room.
09:18And we are talking about the Pindi Test.
09:20Raja Mohsin is with us right now.
09:22Raja, what is the update on ticket sales?
09:25Right now, there is a good response
09:27regarding ticket sales in Pindi Cricket Stadium.
09:31Pindi has always been a crowd puller.
09:33And this time also, there are expectations
09:35that there will be a good crowd.
09:37But unfortunately,
09:38looking at the weather-related predictions
09:40of the Met Office,
09:41there is a little disappointment in Shahiqeen.
09:44But the way Pakistan has planned things,
09:47we saw that a green top wicket has been prepared.
09:50Pakistan is going with four fast bowlers.
09:52This is the plan of Pakistan.
09:55Pakistan wants to make this match result-oriented
09:58so that the result of this match comes out.
10:00Because Pakistan does not want to lose
10:02the precious points of the World Test Championship.
10:05And today, we also heard the pre-series press conference
10:08of Captain Shahan Masood.
10:10Shahan Masood also expressed a lot of pride in that.
10:13And he also talked about the team environment.
10:16And he said that the team's dressing room environment
10:19reflects on the ground as well.
10:21So, he said that the team has done a good job.
10:23Raja Mohsin, just tell me one thing.
10:25Is the weather-related prediction
10:27that it will rain for five days?
10:30Yes, the prediction is from the Met Office
10:32that it will rain for five days.
10:34And since the last two weeks,
10:36it has been raining on a daily basis
10:38in Rawalpindi and Islamabad.
10:40Thank you very much, Raja Mohsin, for being with us.
10:43He was updating us about the ticket sale
10:45and the weather.
