00:00Welcome to Sports Room, I am your host Najeeb ul-Hasnain.
00:16Pakistan cricket team has started preparations in Multan for the first test match against
00:21England.
00:22English team will start their training from tomorrow.
00:24To talk about this important series we have with us former cricketer Abdul Rauf.
00:28Rauf, Assalam-o-Alaikum, welcome to the show.
00:30Assalam-o-Alaikum.
00:31First of all, please tell me what are the expectations from the series against England?
00:38Pakistan team has started preparations.
00:40Obviously, it would have been better if we had played a practice match, a four-day cricket
00:45match.
00:46But that didn't happen.
00:47England's side, Pakistan, has come.
00:48They will also start their practice from tomorrow.
00:50We have not won any series since 2021.
00:52What will you say?
00:54Firstly, it will be a tough series because England's team is very strong.
00:59If you look at their past series, they have performed very well.
01:04Secondly, if you look at Pakistan's last 3-4 test series, Pakistan has not been successful
01:10in that.
01:11In the last two series, Pakistan has been whitewashed.
01:14Bangladesh has been whitewashed.
01:16Australia has been whitewashed.
01:18Now home series are coming.
01:20There is a lot of difference in England's team.
01:23They are struggling because their most premier fast bowler, James Anderson, has a lot of
01:28experience of playing on the subcontinent.
01:31He has retired.
01:32Ben Stokes has not recovered from his hamstring injury.
01:36He will not bowl in the first test.
01:39Another upcoming fast bowler, Joe Shull, who bowled very well against England, has also
01:45been ruled out due to injury.
01:48His bowling will struggle a little, which can benefit Pakistan's team.
01:52But the point is that you can say about his fast bowling.
01:56He also has quality spinners.
01:58His batting is very strong.
02:00Compared to Pakistan, on paper, on the field, much better side.
02:04And our problem is that we don't even know how to make pitches.
02:08Now if we make a batting wicket or a spin wicket, we can get trapped in that trap.
02:16This will be a genuine test of the management of the Pakistan Cricket Board.
02:21Because the way they made pitches against England last time and they were defeated
02:27comprehensively.
02:28After that, even against Bangladesh, they could not make this pitch according to their
02:33will, nor could they take this home advantage.
02:35And after that, the biggest blunder was that team selection could not be done on their
02:39merit.
02:40The problem is that England's fast bowling attack is not that strong.
02:43But their spin bowling attack, in which there is Shoaib Bashir, Rehan Ahmed and Leak,
02:48they have been playing for England for a long time and are playing a major role in their
02:53victories.
02:54So now Pakistan depends on the cricket board whether it will depend on its fast bowlers
02:59in Multan or it will depend more on spinners and be a victim in the favor of spin bowlers.
03:05So now this is a real test of the management of the Pakistan Cricket Board, how they go
03:10about it.
03:11Absolutely right.
03:12Salman Ali Agha is the all-rounder of the Pakistan team.
03:15What does he think about this series?
03:17Let's listen to him.
03:18We played three tests against them.
03:20I got the idea of how tough the team can be and how tough the challenging conditions
03:24will be.
03:25But for that, we are preparing ourselves and will try to get better results than last
03:29year.
03:30And these are our goals.
03:32But the team is first.
03:33I don't think there will be much difference for them.
03:35When you look at their batting record in the captaincy, I think it is outstanding.
03:38And this is their personal decision, which we have to respect.
03:41We got the idea of how they play cricket.
03:43We have also made such plans.
03:45We will try to tackle them in the same way as they play cricket.
03:48We have also planned to follow our plans.
03:50The way they play cricket, they will have to be tackled in the same way.
03:54And at the same time, they said about the captaincy of Babur Azam.
03:58So, Rauf, taking advantage of your presence, what will you say about the captaincy of Babur
04:02Azam?
04:03We are detracting a little from this test series.
04:05They left the captaincy of Limited Overseas.
04:07Look, I think they are detracting the whole of Pakistan.
04:10And I think the way the management of the Pakistan Cricket Board has been going on in
04:15the past, they will cause uncontrollable and irreversible damage to Pakistan's cricket.
04:19I don't think it will be easy for Pakistan to recover from this.
04:23I don't think it will be easy for Pakistan to recover from this.
04:28Because if you look at the past history, after 1996-98, Pakistan struggled in cricket
04:34because of the match-fixing scandal in Pakistan.
04:37Then in 2008, when Sri Lanka was attacked, Pakistan suffered for a very long time.
04:43Then the 2010 match-fixing scandal, there was a struggle.
04:46Now, to save yourself, to save your position,
04:51Thank you very much.
04:53Let's take a break.
