00:00We are not able to get out of this sadness that our prisoners are going to London for treatment.
00:06We spoke about this issue yesterday as well.
00:10That we should definitely go to London but we should come back soon because we cannot live without them.
00:15And today we saw that in Twin Cities Rawalpindi,
00:22another historical incident has happened.
00:26For the first time, Bangladesh defeated Pakistan in a Test match.
00:33Not only did we lose in a Test match but we also lost the second Test match as well.
00:40So, on the home ground, Bangladesh has whitewashed Pakistan.
00:47And I am not able to understand anything.
00:50The matches that people have been watching since morning, believe me,
00:53the whole of Pakistan is shell-shocked.
00:55Pakistan is known as a one-sport nation.
00:57Most of the Pakistanis are very passionate about cricket.
01:04We have been associated with cricket for 12 months.
01:06And the cricketers are not allowing us to associate with them.
01:10What is the reason behind this?
01:12We will try to find out in our first story.
01:15Raja Mohsin is our sports correspondent.
01:17He was on the ground and saw everything.
01:21The problem is that you might remember that we went to America to play in the World Cup.
01:26And when we went to America to play in the World Cup,
01:28there America has learned to play cricket for the first time.
01:32We lost to America.
01:34After that, we started losing in such a way that we got tired within the league.
01:39In the first round, we said goodbye to the tournament.
01:42When the Pakistan team came back,
01:44Mohsin Naqvi, who is the spirit of the Pakistan Cricket Board,
01:49he is a doer.
01:51Every day, Hassan Ayub reminds us of Mohsin's speed.
01:59What did he say?
02:01This is the news.
02:02Let's keep it in front of you.
02:03He said somewhere,
02:04I know what's going on in the team.
02:06Mohsin Naqvi is in action.
02:08He announced a major surgery in the team.
02:13You might remember that two days ago,
02:18Rana Sinhaullah was asked.
02:21He is with the Inter-Provincial Ministry in Pakistan.
02:26Rana went to see the Olympics in Paris for the first time.
02:30He won a gold medal from there.
02:32Pakistan has made a record in the javelin throw.
02:34He was asked that the role of the Inter-Provincial Ministry is very important.
02:39The Pakistan Cricket Board is the most followed sport in Pakistan.
02:46The whole of Pakistan is connected.
02:48Both are full-time jobs.
02:50Don't you think the government should think about this?
02:53Let's listen to Rana's answer.
02:55In Balochistan, the environment of cricket is deteriorating.
03:00And then the Minister of Internal Affairs.
03:02Isn't it time to do this?
03:05It's your choice.
03:06It's not your choice.
03:07I'm an informant.
03:08No, no, no.
03:10I've seen how sports are run by federations, associations, and boards.
03:17There's someone or the other in every place.
03:20There's nothing about sports.
03:22That's why it's not there.
03:23Will you take a stand on this?
03:25No.
03:26There are a lot of strong people sitting there.
03:29If there is a stand there, it will be lost.
03:32Okay.
03:34Rana talked about the various sports federations in Pakistan.
03:38I know Rana's assessment.
03:42But Raja Mohsin is our representative.
03:44He was in the stadium for the first time.
03:47Apparently, Mohsin doesn't look like a weak team from Pakistan.
03:52We have the world's best batsman in the form of Babur Azam.
03:58We have Rizwan.
03:59We have good bowlers.
04:01Shaheen Shah Afridi.
04:02Naseem Shah.
04:03Khurram bowled well.
04:06Ameer Hamza bowled well.
04:11We played the first match so well that we didn't declare.
04:17We played the second match.
04:18We bowled 6 out of 26.
04:20It felt like Bangladesh was going to fall.
04:22We took both the matches in the grift.
04:24And then we put them in their lap as a gift.
04:29Tell us what happened?
04:31Because every Pakistani is asking this question.
04:34What was the reason for Pakistan's defeat?
04:40There are many reasons.
04:43But if we talk about some important things.
04:47The World Cup started in 2023.
04:50We exited in the first round of the World Cup in all continents.
04:54We lost to Afghanistan.
04:56In the 2024 World T20, we lost to the USA.
05:02They were playing a wild card entry tournament.
05:06This has never happened before.
05:08Pakistan played 13 test matches with Bangladesh.
05:12Out of which, 12 won and 1 drew.
05:14Pakistan never lost to Bangladesh.
05:17But this time, Bangladesh won the first test match convincingly.
05:22They won with 10 wickets.
05:23They comfortably won the second test match as well.
05:26The problem is that we have the best batsmen in the world.
05:31But in the match, our bowling line-up, batting and even fielding,
05:37we dropped a lot of catches.
05:39If you look at our bowlers,
05:42we couldn't have all-outed Bangladesh at any point.
05:47We outed them in the first test match.
05:51But even then, they had scored 565 runs.
05:55We couldn't out any of them in the second test match.
05:58Similarly, in this test match,
06:00Bangladesh recovered so much that they won the test match.
06:05The chairman, PCP, said that surgery is needed.
06:10Surgery is very much needed.
06:12But the most terrifying thing that I saw
06:15was that even in the domestic circuit,
06:17the chairman himself said that he couldn't see any backup.
06:21So, the entire system needs to be improved
06:24so that we have good backup bowlers.
06:26I remember that in Pakistan,
06:28even if you went to play netball in a club,
06:30you could see 140-145 ballers.
06:33Now, everyone is playing in the 130s.
06:36Now, let's talk about the grouping in the team.
06:39Obviously, there is a win and a loss.
06:42What do you think about the grouping?
06:45What do you think about our defeat?
06:47Look, today, Shahan Masood,
06:49who is the captain of our test team,
06:51did a press conference.
06:53He addressed some questions related to this.
06:55Some visuals came out
06:57in which we saw that Shaheen Shafri,
07:00in the first test match,
07:02in a video,
07:03you can see him shaking his hand.
07:06However, today, he also explained
07:08that he had an injury
07:10and that's why he shook his hand.
07:12In the pre-series press conference,
07:14I also asked him this question.
07:16At that time, he said that
07:18we need to address this issue
07:21because the atmosphere of our dressing room
07:24and the relation between us
07:26will reflect
07:28our performance on the ground as well.
07:30So, there are a lot of talks going on.
07:32You may remember,
07:33Mickey Arthur used to be the head coach
07:35in the 2023 World Cup.
07:36This is not a very old thing.
07:37It hasn't even been a year.
07:38He wrote a report
07:39in which he wrote a lot of things.
07:41After that, he became the head coach
07:43of our Australia tour.
07:45We don't expect that
07:47Chairman PC should take any action
07:49because
07:51just like we won a gold medal,
07:53the morale of the whole of Pakistan
07:55has increased.
07:56When there is such a defeat in cricket,
07:58defeat is a part of the game.
08:00But the way you play,
08:02when you lose,
08:03it makes a lot of difference.
