00:00Pakistan has come strongly that no, we will not accept hybrid model, you can do it without us.
00:05But now is the time, a member board should say that the governance of ICC should change.
00:12The countries should not run it, but there should be independent directors.
00:16And from the same country, all the money of ICC should come,
00:19from the same country, the broadcaster of ICC should come.
00:21This is the most dangerous thing, it should change.
00:24Mr. Shahid, what do you think about this?
00:26Look, stand-off is going on, there is complete silence in ICC.
00:29Since the Pakistan Cricket Board has emailed them,
00:32no one is answering their official, no one is answering their SMS,
00:36nor are they telling anything.
00:38Obviously, now they will directly write an email to the Pakistan Cricket Board.
00:42After that, BCCI, PCB, in reality, should come to the table of negotiations.
00:47The chairman of BCCI should come, the chairman of PCB should leave from here,
00:51the three or four officials of ICC should sit down,
00:54and a middle solution will have to be found.
00:57Indian media, BCCI is repeatedly saying that
01:00when you accepted the hybrid model at the Asia Cup,
01:03now you should accept the hybrid model again.
01:06At that time, the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board, Zaka Sharaf,
01:09took credit for it, that I have brought a Super 4 match to Pakistan,
01:12so we should get credit for it.
01:14Now they are saying that when you had accepted the hybrid model once,
01:17then do it again.
01:19But the situation in Pakistan should be like this, and it will be like this,
01:22that if you make a mistake once, or if we bow our heads and listen to you once,
01:25then we will not listen to you again and again.
01:27We accepted your hybrid model at the Asia Cup,
01:30or the hybrid model given by PCB,
01:33because we had anticipation that after the 2023 World Cup,
01:37you will come to us for the Champions Trophy.
01:39You came at that time, the Pakistan Cricket Board wanted a hybrid model,
01:43that we are going for a hybrid model,
01:45you give us assurances that you will come for the Champions Trophy or not.
01:48You give us written assurances,
01:50but still they take out the lid,
01:52they take out the lid that yes, there will be a government approval.
01:55So you should not have gone for the hybrid model at that time.
01:57Now you have gone once, so they are forcing you again and again.
02:00But right now, the government is not agreeing.
02:02Now the Pakistan Cricket Board is not agreeing,
02:04but we have to see how strong the Pakistan Cricket Board is at this time,
02:08because the hosting fees will be 65 million dollars to Pakistan.
02:12So this is also a very big amount,
02:14but Pakistan's position is that we can sustain on our PSL,
02:17on our bilateral series, on our broadcaster rights,
02:21so we do not want this money.
02:23The problem is that your advice is 100% correct,
02:26but every time we have bowed down, agreed,
02:30everything has been taken care of by them,
02:32now they do not bring us to any account.
02:34The problem is that they are not even ready to sit at the table.
02:36It will be a very long process,
02:38because Pakistan is the same thing that I said yesterday,
02:41that when the award was given, Rameez Raja was the chairman,
02:44when the hybrid model was accepted, Najam Sethi was there.
02:47When the hybrid model started to be implemented,
02:49Zaka Sharaf took the credit that I suggested the hybrid model,
02:53I have brought another game of Super 4.
02:55After that, when the topic of Champions Trophy came up,
02:58then Chairman Mohsin Naqvi sahab,
03:00so our own people are also not so consistent,
03:02that we cannot even lobby.
03:04Now is the time that Pakistan has come strongly
03:06that no, we will not accept the hybrid model,
03:08you can do it without us.
03:10But now is the time,
03:12a member board should say that
03:14the governance of the ICC should be changed.
03:17The countries should not run it,
03:19but there should be independent directors,
03:21and all the money of the ICC coming from the same country,
03:24the broadcaster of the ICC coming from the same country,
03:26this is the most dangerous thing,
03:28and it should be changed,
03:30whether it is now, two years later, three years later,
03:32but the style of the ICC's governing,
03:34and in 2011, Haroon Lodgat had raised it,
03:36they were snubbed.
03:38If the governance of the ICC changes,
03:40more independent directors will come,
03:42then you will get to see neutral decisions,
03:44otherwise you will always bow down in front of India.
