00:00Hello and welcome to SportsZoom. I am your host, Najeeb ul-Hasnain.
00:16Pakistan is a little different from the rest of the world.
00:18When something good happens in the world, things get smoother in the future.
00:22But in our country, despite winning the Test Series from England,
00:26the tension in Pakistan has increased.
00:29We will show you the details in this report.
00:32Tensions and Pakistan Cricket are going hand in hand.
00:35After winning the Test Series against England, tensions have increased.
00:40Head coach, changes in the team, selection committee, central contract,
00:44appointment of a new captain and a new captain.
00:47Where to start and where to end.
00:49Gary Kirsten came for two years, but left in six months.
00:53He also left the tension.
00:55Tensions in the central contract.
00:57Someone went down, someone came out.
00:59Former captain Shaheen Afridi was eliminated.
01:02Fakhar Zaman and Imam ul-Haq were out.
01:04A new debate broke out.
01:06The squad was announced for the tour of Australia and Zimbabwe.
01:09Babar was also criticized for giving rest in the Zimbabwe series.
01:12Changes in the selection committee again and again gave air to the tension.
01:16Now Bizwan is the captain.
01:18The tour of Australia is a difficult test.
01:20After the series, no new tension should arise.
01:24Former wicketkeeper, Kamran Akmal is with us to talk about all these issues.
01:29Kamran, Assalam-o-Alaikum. Welcome to the show.
01:31As you just saw the report,
01:34the situation is such that when teams win all over the world,
01:38bad things improve.
01:40In our country, it's the opposite.
01:42Matters are getting more complicated.
01:44And we were expecting such a big success against England
01:48that things would be better.
01:50But things are getting worse.
01:52What do you say?
01:54Assalam-o-Alaikum, Najeeb. Thank you.
01:57Najeeb, I think you have a very short memory.
02:02We have just won a series.
02:05The problem of 5-6 years of Pakistan's cricket
02:10is not going to be solved so soon.
02:12If you are going to win a series and fix your problems,
02:16it will take a long time.
02:18We have to be patient.
02:20There are still a lot of tests to be done.
02:22As far as PCB is concerned,
02:24definitely PCB will never want such issues to arise.
02:28The sooner the issue is solved, the better.
02:31But what can we do?
02:33The situation is such.
02:35The planning has been excellent for the past 5-6 years.
02:38I don't think it's going to be easy or quick for it to be solved.
02:43Kamran, there is not much time left in the Champions Trophy.
02:46Gary Kirsten has resigned.
02:50How much damage will it do to Pakistan?
02:53No, Najeeb. I don't think it's good for Pakistan.
02:57You know that he is the world's number one coach.
03:01I will say he is the world's champion coach.
03:04When he won the World Cup with the Indian team,
03:07if the international media hears about him,
03:12they will make fun of him.
03:16I am with my board when it comes to the news in Pakistan.
03:23Because the Pakistan Cricket Board has done the right thing.
03:26Gary has violated the media report.
03:30I have not met him or contacted him.
03:34But from what I have heard,
03:37I think the Pakistan Cricket Board has done the right thing.
03:40Because you don't want to live in Pakistan.
03:42You don't want to watch domestic cricket.
03:44You don't know about the players.
03:46You just want to come on tour and join the team.
03:49You want to go to the camp with the team.
03:54Then how can you make such demands?
03:56You are a professional coach. You are the number one coach.
03:59Then I look at the other side as well.
04:01When Gary speaks internationally,
04:03what will be his impression at that time?
04:06Will Pakistan's cricket become a joke?
04:09Or will there be a strong mock-up of the Pakistan Cricket Board?
04:12Okay, you talked about the media reports.
04:15The Pakistan Cricket Board's concept has come to light
04:17that they did not spend time in Pakistan.
04:19No one should be blackmailed.
04:21I agree with this.
04:22But Gary says that he made a promise of power.
04:25He did not get it.
04:26He did not have a say in the selection.
04:28So who is right here?
04:30First of all, what you are saying about the PCB,
04:35he said that he did not spend time in Pakistan.
04:38He was doing what he wanted.
04:41He wanted to bring people into the management.
04:44In the selection, the powers were over.
04:48I think that he did not want to spend time in Pakistan.
04:52That was not right for Pakistan's cricket.
04:55The Pakistan Cricket Board did the right thing.
04:58But as a cricketer, I am saying that every coach has a right
05:02to have a say in the selection.
05:04He should have a team of his own.
05:06He should have his own opinion.
05:08Maybe he wants to do something good for the team.
05:10Maybe he wants to talk about good players.
05:13But for that, you have to know the culture of Pakistan's cricket.
05:17You look at the domestic.
05:19You have an idea.
05:21You look at the junior tours.
05:23You have an idea.
05:24Then you demand these things.
05:26It feels good.
05:27Because Gary, no doubt, is a very professional coach.
05:30We have never heard of him working with any team.
05:37Maybe he tried to use his extra powers.
05:42Or maybe he was dominating.
05:45We have seen it in the IPL.
05:47We have seen it internationally.
05:49With the Indian team.
05:50With the South African team.
05:51We have seen it with different franchise cricketers.
05:54I think Gary can tell you this.
05:57But you should have the authority.
05:59You should take their advice.
06:01Let's talk about the central contract.
06:03The 25 players who have been given the central contract.
06:06They have been deprived of it for a long time.
06:08The reason for this is what they tweeted about Babar Azam.
06:11We all said at the time that this should not have been done.
06:13It is also being said that the reason they talked in the connection camp
06:17could also be a reason.
06:18Do you think this is the reason?
06:20Or is their problem with fitness?
06:23Najeeb, as far as the central contract is concerned.
06:29Honestly, it was a surprise for me.
06:32You have not kept players like Fakhar Zaman in the central contract.
06:36Ever since he came to the Pakistan team.
06:39His impact performance has been great.
06:42You can say that as long as Fakhar Zaman is on the crease.
06:47The Pakistan team has not lost the match.
06:50He is not losing.
06:51He is on the verge of winning.
06:53This is his reputation.
06:54He sets up a match on one side.
06:56Impact player, performer, team man, fit.
07:00And we have not seen any such issue in his career.
07:03The team complained, the management complained.
07:06There is no such thing.
07:08But it should be in the central contract.
07:10I think this Australia tour and Zimbabwe tour.
07:14I said on my YouTube channel that they will take it back.
07:18It is very important to give a message.
07:20To Fakhar Zaman and the rest of the boys.
07:23How can you leave it on tweets?
07:27You are talking about a policy.
07:29You have dropped anyone.
07:32He did it on his performance.
07:34Can you ever think of dropping the one who is doing a hundred?
07:37It is not possible.
07:39That's why you have to make some decisions.
07:43The Pakistan cricket board took a decision 5-6 years ago.
07:48The trends that have been run on the media.
07:51If you had done these things at that time, it would have been today.
07:54You are right.
07:55But I think it has become too harsh.
07:58Because in Pakistan, every other day, every player says what he wants.
08:01You had to make an example somewhere.
08:03But it seems a little harsh.
08:05What do you think, who will sit in the case of Oot Fakhar Zaman?
08:08Because you just said that he is the match winner.
08:11Obviously, we will need him in the Champions Trophy.
08:13Rizwan has also said that he will feel his absence.
08:17So what do you say?
08:19Look, Najeeb is definitely our match winner in the Champions Trophy.
08:24You are in the Champions Trophy in Feb.
08:26You will see this on the South Africa tour.
08:29This will happen.
08:30And without him, it is very difficult for us to survive.
08:34Because we don't have a settled batsman.
08:37We don't have an opener who can create such momentum.
08:41We don't have an impact player.
08:43Because you know what type of cricket the other players are playing.
08:48If you compare it with modern cricket, there is no one better than Fakhar in Pakistan.
08:53Rizwan has also said this.
08:55But Rizwan has said something in double words.
08:59If his demand had been fulfilled, which was first on the media,
09:03then maybe he would have taken Fakhar.
09:05But the board didn't listen to Garry and didn't listen to Rizwan.
09:08We have heard the demands.
09:10Like we have seen and heard Garry's reporting on the media.
09:14And when the captain, Baba, resigned,
09:17there were talks from Rizwan's side.
09:20So all those things were not accepted by the Pakistan Cricket Board.
09:23So I think it is very far.
09:24You will see it on the South Africa tours.
09:26This is our impact match winner.
09:28Come on, I have some names in front of me.
09:30Apart from Fakhar, who was deprived of the central contract,
09:34there are Imam, Sarfaraz, Imad, Nawaz, Usama, Dhani, Mohammad Haris, Zamaan Khan,
09:40Ehsanullah, Fahim Ashraf and Iftikhar.
09:43Some are understandable and some are not at all.
09:46What do you say?
09:47Najeeb, you didn't mention the central contract.
09:51I think you have announced the South Africa team.
09:54So many players didn't get the central contract.
09:58Look, it is a performance base.
10:00You can say that Fakhar should get it.
10:03The whole of Pakistan says so.
10:06All the fans of Fakhar in the world would say so.
10:10Because he has shown such a performance.
10:12What about Imam?
10:13Imam should definitely get it.
10:16He has an average of 50.
10:18He didn't give a good performance in the World Cup.
10:20In 3-4 matches.
10:21So you took him out of all the cricket.
10:23You took him out before the test matches.
10:25After that, you see,
10:27Osama Mir.
10:29What is the issue of Osama Mir?
10:31That is also the issue.
10:33That you are with Fakhar.
10:34It was not discussed so openly.
10:37It was done, but not as much as we are doing now on Fakhar.
10:42So I think these 3-4 players should definitely get it.
10:46But you know, in Pakistan,
10:48whether they announce the team or the central contract,
10:51something or the other is left.
10:53So that's why these players,
10:55even if they didn't get it,
10:57but the Pakistan Cricket Board should keep coordination with them.
11:00That they should not be sidelined at all.
11:03Don't ignore them at all.
11:05You can't take everyone to the central contract.
11:08You can't bring the entire domestic system in 15 teams.
11:13Wherever you get a place,
11:15wherever you get an opportunity,
11:16you should definitely get it.
11:17But Osama, Imam and Fakhar,
11:19I hope they will get it.
11:22Shaheen Afridi has come in the A to B category.
11:25And our red and white ball captains,
11:28they have been kept in the C category.
11:31How do you see that?
11:33I think I have spoken to the media before.
11:38That our South Shaquille is a regular member of the Test match.
11:42He is also a performer.
11:43And he has made such a great century.
11:46And he has made a match-winning century.
11:49So I don't think he should have been kept in the C category.
11:52He was also a regular member of One Day.
11:54I am surprised that why he was not kept in the Australia One Day series.
11:59Because he is not with the team today.
12:02It was not in his plan.
12:04How can you accept someone's demand like this?
12:06He was a regular member of the World Cup.
12:08Then to give value to the Test match,
12:10you should think of better ways for the Test players.
12:14You respond.
12:17You take care.
12:18And this is one thing.
12:20I don't think he should be kept in the C category.
12:23This is my statement for Salman Ali Agha.
12:26I have also said.
12:28These two players are not in the C category.
12:31You should keep them in the B category.
12:33Agha plays One Day regularly.
12:36He also plays Test.
12:37He has been giving such a great performance for a year and a half.
12:39He has also become a part of the T20 squad.
12:41He has also become a vice-captain.
12:43I don't think he should be kept in the C category.
12:45Then our great Test captain.
12:48You see what he has done in front of him.
12:50That is for me.
12:51I don't understand.
12:52Subject to captaincy.
12:54I don't understand.
12:56Does he want to change the captain of Red Bull Cricket?
12:59I think so.
13:01I don't think such things should be mentioned.
13:04About his captain.
13:06And these players definitely.
13:08I think they should be in the B category.
13:10Okay.
13:11Kamran Akmal is with us.
13:12Let's take a break.
13:13Don't go anywhere.
13:14We will be right back.
13:30Glad to have you back once again to Sports Room.
13:32Kamran Akmal is with us.
13:33Kamran, tell me.
13:34This series is very important for Babar Azam.
13:38Because he has already dropped from Test Cricket.
13:41Now it is very important for him to perform here.
13:44What do you think about him not going to his place from Monday?
13:49I don't think there is any issue for Babar.
13:53And Babar will think so.
13:55He has always performed well in Monday.
13:58He is number one batter.
14:00And I hope that he will perform as well as he did in the past.
14:06He will win the match.
14:08Yes, it is a matter of time before he performs.
14:11But Babar has to think that he will be a threat for Monday as well.
14:17This will be very unfair to Babar.
14:20I don't think so.
14:21If I were him, I would tell Babar to play the next 10 matches.
14:25You have to play.
14:27I don't want to put it in his mind that this tour is very important for him.
14:31If he doesn't perform, he will be out of the team.
14:34I don't think anyone should think like this.
14:39We have talked a lot.
14:41It is said that Aqib Javed is a strong candidate for the head coach.
14:46Do you think this will be the right decision?
14:48Mohsin Naqvi has said that there are 4-5 options.
14:51And we will focus on that.
14:53What do you think?
14:56I have heard that there is a discussion with 5-6 people.
14:59But I think if we look at the scenario of Pakistan's cricket,
15:08and the decisions they have taken,
15:10then we can take a chance on Aqib Javed.
15:13Because before this, he was with the Pakistan team.
15:16But he was not the head coach.
15:18If he was not the head coach, I would never say that Aqib should be the head coach.
15:21He was the bowling coach.
15:23So maybe he should be the head coach.
15:25Give him a chance.
15:26He will do well.
15:27As long as he is doing well, it is better for Pakistan's cricket.
15:31Keep him continued.
15:33But give him a chance.
15:34The other names that I am hearing,
15:36the ones that are being recommended by the players,
15:39I don't think they should go on that.
15:42If they go on that,
15:43then you can understand what we have been saying for 5-6 years.
15:48May Allah protect Pakistan's cricket.
15:51The way they are taking it,
15:52the way they are playing cricket,
15:54then the same thing will start again.
15:56So that is why we have controlled it.
15:58There is a little damage control.
16:00A good thing is happening in Pakistan's cricket.
16:03Keeping that in mind,
16:04as it is.
16:06Thank you very much.
16:07Thank you very much.
16:08Kamran Akmal was with us.
16:09And he was sharing his opinion on many issues.
16:13That's all for today's program.
16:15Give your host Najeeb-ul-Hasnain permission.
16:17Take care of yourself.
16:18Allah Hafiz.
