00:00Hello and welcome to SportsZoom. I am your host, Najeeb Ulhasnain.
00:17Over the weekend, there have been a lot of developments in Pakistan cricket.
00:22In the afternoon, Playing XI has been announced for tomorrow's second test match in Pakistan.
00:30Kamran Ghulam will make his debut. Babur Azam is obviously resting.
00:34Noman Ali, Sajid Khan and Zayed Mehmood are also part of the team.
00:39There are also two changes in the English team.
00:41We have with us sports correspondent Shahid Hashmi, who is in Multan.
00:44And we have joined by former wicketkeeper, batter Kamran Akmal.
00:48Assalam-o-Alaikum. Welcome to the show.
00:50Assalam-o-Alaikum.
00:52First of all, Mr. Shahid, since you are here, let me talk to you.
00:55There has been a lot going on.
00:57Yesterday was a very busy day.
01:01There was a lot of discussion.
01:02The new selection committee has taken very strong decisions.
01:06Let's see what happened.
01:07Babur Azam is resting.
01:09Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah and Sarfaraz will also be released.
01:15What will you say about this?
01:17There is a big drama going on in Pakistan cricket.
01:19Who is playing cricket in Pakistan?
01:21The whole world is making fun of Pakistan.
01:23To drop Babur Azam, we had 3-4 meetings.
01:28We called the mentors.
01:30One mentor was also a part of the squad.
01:32He was released.
01:34What kind of things are happening?
01:36Today, there was a very animated discussion with the Gillespie of the selection committee.
01:40Azhar Ali, Aqib Javed and Jason Gillespie were standing on one side of the pitch.
01:44And on the other side, the umpire Alimdar was raising his finger again and again.
01:47As is his habit.
01:48They were trying to explain something to Shahan Masood.
01:50You have to keep three front-line spinners.
01:54Fourth is Salman Ali Agha.
01:59You always say that Agha Salman is our front-line spinner.
02:03There were four spinners.
02:04Saim Ayub also got a wicket.
02:06He became the fifth spinner.
02:07The sixth spinner is Kamran Gulam.
02:09He has 71 wickets.
02:11He is sold in the first class.
02:12And Sahoor Shakeel also has 30-35 wickets.
02:16He is sold in the first class.
02:17One pass bowler is also an all-rounder.
02:23Ben Stokes is saying in his press conference that there will be a reverse swing.
02:27What is the condition?
02:28Do you have the certainty that you will win the toss?
02:31If he wins the toss, he will make 500-500 runs in 1.5-2 days.
02:35And it will be difficult for you to play.
02:37What kind of experience is this?
02:38I have no idea how much I have covered cricket.
02:42I have never seen such a strategy in my life.
02:45Let's move to Kamran.
02:46Kamran, we will come to Babar's topic.
02:48And we will talk about the rest.
02:51But on the topic of the team,
02:53if you had to go with one fast bowler,
02:56it would have been a proper fast bowler.
02:58Like Mir Hamza or any other option.
03:01I don't understand that you went with one fast bowler,
03:04that too an all-rounder.
03:05Do you think this strategy will work?
03:08First of all, I think the board should think that
03:13this is a very small team.
03:15No one will say anything to them.
03:17They are collectors, so no one will say anything to them.
03:20Your team is at 9th place.
03:23And you are making the players rest.
03:25What happened?
03:26Have you made a joke of Pakistan's cricket?
03:28Show your power.
03:29Show it. Tell us.
03:31No, the performance was not good.
03:33He is our senior player.
03:34He is a match winner.
03:35He is a top player.
03:36No such player has come to the Pakistan team since last anniversary.
03:39His form is not good right now.
03:41So we dropped him.
03:42Why are you saying this?
03:43Why are you taking more criticism on yourself?
03:47You are saying that we have made a performance-based team.
03:49Unfortunately, the form is not good.
03:51Secondly, I don't know.
03:53In my cricket history,
03:55I have not seen a test match on a back-to-back pitch.
03:58I have not seen this.
04:00Or your creators don't know how to make a break pitch.
04:03They wanted to make it.
04:05I think this planning was done by the Pakistan team.
04:11Two years ago, they should have made a team like this against England.
04:14They should have played with this bowling line-up.
04:16At that time, we went with a negative approach.
04:19We went with the approach that we should play a draw.
04:22Our batsmen should make long runs.
04:24And there will be no pressure by giving a draw.
04:27When you bring such negative things in Pakistan's cricket,
04:31then your cricket will never go up.
04:33See today, why did we have to do this today?
04:35If this was the first test match draw,
04:37then I will tell you the conditions.
04:38This does not happen.
04:39We should have made a pitch like this.
04:41But the credit goes to the England team.
04:43The way they fought,
04:45the type of cricket they played,
04:47the way they took the match,
04:49game awareness, excellence.
04:51Ben Stoke is absolutely right.
04:52The top teams play for the result.
04:54They don't play with a negative approach.
04:56If we want to improve ourselves,
04:59then we have to play positive cricket.
05:01In our home series,
05:03we should go with this bowling line-up.
05:05When a white team comes,
05:07England, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand.
05:09We should play with this attitude.
05:11You can play with this team.
05:13It won't be easy to play with such a bowling line-up.
05:17Absolutely right.
05:18What Kamran is saying is absolutely right.
05:20I would say that this is not a timely decision.
05:22You are late.
05:23Anyway, we have to take a break here.
05:25We will come back after the break
05:26and continue the discussion.
05:27Stay with us.
05:38Let's have you back once again to the sports room.
05:40Before taking a break,
05:42let's continue the discussion.
05:43I was moving towards Mr. Shahid.
05:44Mr. Shahid, tell me,
05:45what Kamran was saying,
05:47why are you calling this decision a rest?
05:50Tell me clearly,
05:51did you drop because of the performance?
05:53Why is there so much of an issue on this?
05:5618-19 innings have been made of failure.
05:59And if it is not possible,
06:00our T20 World Cup has also gone bad.
06:02Before that,
06:03why is there so much of an issue on this?
06:05The T20 World Cup has also gone bad.
06:07Before that,
06:08the One Day World Cup has also gone bad.
06:10Now this is the third format
06:11in which we are having a downfall.
06:13This was need of the hour.
06:15Now this team of Pakistan
06:17is running its feet in the sea
06:19for its survival.
06:21So we should back this.
06:23These decisions are correct.
06:24What will you say?
06:26Absolutely right.
06:27But since Babar Azam is a big player,
06:29he has played 55 tests,
06:31his name is known all over the world,
06:33he is very patient.
06:34He is using this word that
06:35our situation is such that
06:36we have given him a rest.
06:38When Babar Azam was asked about him,
06:40he said that Babar Azam is the best batter
06:42of Pakistan.
06:44We have not dropped him,
06:46we have given him a rest.
06:47Now our three away tours are going on,
06:49Australia, Zimbabwe and South Africa.
06:51So we have given him a rest.
06:53But I want to come back to the selection.
06:56There are 11 people
06:58who choose the 11-rupee team
07:00or 16-rupee team.
07:027 members who have voting rights
07:05and 4 members who have non-voting rights.
07:08So this does not happen anywhere in the world
07:10that such a big selection committee
07:12is working for us in this cricket.
07:16I am out of my mind.
07:18If we lose the toss,
07:20then what will we do
07:22if they have made 500-500 runs
07:24in 1.5-2 days.
07:26According to me,
07:28the 11-rupee team will select
07:30the selection committee.
07:32There will be no action
07:34by Gillespie and Shahan Masood.
07:36Kamran, let me come to you.
07:38Our selection committee
07:40is less and more like a common man's party.
07:42More than cricketers,
07:44non-cricketers have started coming in.
07:46First there was Hassan Cheema,
07:48I did not understand that either.
07:50You can keep someone with you
07:52to help with data and things.
07:54Making a member and then Alimdar.
07:56So Alimdar has such a great
07:58interest as an umpire career.
08:00So I don't understand
08:02that you have kept him with you.
08:04Shahid Bhai, what do you have to say about this?
08:06Alim Bhai, no doubt.
08:08Pakistan has pride in this.
08:10Like they have done umpiring internationally.
08:12Like they have made Pakistan's name.
08:14This is what Pakistan Cricket Board
08:16is doing wrong.
08:18They are putting those people
08:20in such a position
08:22which is not in their domain,
08:24which is not professional.
08:26You make them head of umpiring.
08:28Like you have made Pakistan's umpire.
08:30Like you have made Pakistan's umpire.
08:32Like you have made Pakistan's umpire.
08:34Like you have made Pakistan's umpire.
08:36Like you have made Pakistan's umpire.
08:38Like you have made Pakistan's umpire.
08:40Like you have made Pakistan's umpire.
08:42Like you have made Pakistan's umpire.
08:44Like you have made Pakistan's umpire.
08:46Like you have made Pakistan's umpire.
08:48Like you have made Pakistan's umpire.
08:50Like you have made Pakistan's umpire.
08:52Like you have made Pakistan's umpire.
08:54I think the board has told
08:56that you 11 people
08:58tell your own boy.
09:00And one more important thing.
09:02Our anchors are very big on YouTube.
09:04They have said that
09:063 or 4 selectors
09:08have more payments
09:10of 10,000 dollars
09:12per month.
09:14Wow, wow, wow.
09:16See,
09:18I have said that
09:20we bring such people from abroad
09:22and we give them money.
09:24Why shouldn't we give it to our own people?
09:26They deserve it.
09:28But you have kept it less.
09:30You have kept it less.
09:32You have kept it less.
09:34You have kept it less.
09:36You have kept it less.

10:58You have kept it less.
11:00You have kept it less.
11:02You have kept it less.
11:04You have kept it less.
11:06You have kept it less.
11:08You have kept it less.
11:10You have kept it less.
11:12You have kept it less.

11:32You have kept it less.
11:34You have kept it less.
11:36You have kept it less.
11:38You have kept it less.
11:40You have kept it less.
11:42Why did this happen?
11:44Why did this happen?
11:46If you are talking about
11:48getting a rest against England
11:50Didn't Zimbabwe play with Nepal?
11:52Didn't we play with Ireland?
11:54Didn't we play with Bangladesh?
11:56Very true.
11:58We should have taken a decision
12:00to get a rest against them.
12:02It was Babur's fault.
12:04It was Babur's fault.
12:06I will blame the management.
12:08Why didn't they handle this player?
12:10Why did they not take a decision?
12:12The premier is a player
12:14without whom it won't be 11.
12:16Today, they had to drop him.
12:18Why are you taking
12:20the cricket of Pakistan?
12:22I don't understand
12:24why you are using the word rest.
12:26And to get a rest against England?
12:28Virat Kohli was out of form.
12:30But his board,
12:32his selectors,
12:34they kept him in and out
12:36from the white ball cricket.
12:3850-50.
12:39Yes, the average performances were coming, this was not the case.
12:43This was not the case, but I would say, the players will play like this, you keep on making them play like this.
12:50But understanding, maturity, how to deal with the players professionally, how to make a friend,
12:56all that is done by those who have the cricket in their hands.
13:00Absolutely right.
13:01Mr. Shahid, I come to you, let's see this from this angle that if England had such a down performance in all three formats,
13:08see, they had given up their lives for the World Cup in 2023,
13:12that our focus was more on T20 and Test cricket, we didn't focus so much on One Day.
13:17But if all three formats were coming like this, then I would have seen, they would have spoken like this.
13:23Now I don't know what is in Babar Adam's mind, obviously,
13:27neither has he tweeted nor has he posted anything on Instagram,
13:32he had also announced his resignation from Instagram.
13:37So, we don't know what his attitude is.
13:39Mr. Shahid, you are very mischievous.
13:44Okay, we don't have much time, I would like to ask both of you one thing.
13:49We were all very surprised by Fakhar Zaman's tweet.
13:52It is very important to stop this thing, that how can you go against the board's decisions?
13:58I am very surprised, because I like Fakhar Zaman a lot anyway.
14:01He comes up with a statement every other day,
14:04that I will not bat on that number, I am a tail-ender.
14:07Now, how wrong is it to tweet directly on the board's decisions?
14:10Quickly, from both of you. Kamran.
14:12See, Nadeem, this is the weakness of the board.
14:15This is a cowardly board, they don't deal professionally.
14:18Which team, till date, let me tell you one thing,
14:21in the world, has tweeted for a board player, a centre-contender, a player.
14:25I don't understand.
14:27You show how weak you are.
14:31If you had punished Harith today, he would have gone straight to the NLC.
14:36Today, no other boy would have said that.
14:39See, there should be support.
14:41There should be team-play.
14:43Shahid sahib, quickly, with a final thought, your time is running out.
14:47I would say that Fakhar's tweet is a cowardly one,
14:50and our players and teammates should be supported.
14:53But you are going against the board, a central-contracted player, Shahid sahib.
14:56Freedom of opinion. Freedom of opinion in this country.
15:00That's all for today's program.
15:02Give your permission to Nabil Hussain. Take care of yourselves. Allah Hafiz.
