00:00Hello and welcome to SportsZoom. I am your host, Najeeb Ul-Hasnain.
00:18The second T20 International between Pakistan and Australia will be held in Sydney tomorrow.
00:24The host team has an advantage of 1-0. It is very important for Pakistan to win tomorrow's match to save the series.
00:31Former fast bowler Abdul Raouf is with us to talk about this.
00:35Raouf, Assalam-o-Alaikum. Welcome to the show.
00:37First of all, I would like to tell you that the start of the T20 series was not good.
00:41We are all saying that it is difficult to analyze a 7-7 match.
00:47But our team seems to have less firepower in the T20 squad. What do you say?
00:53I think the expectations of Pakistan were very high.
00:59And when you start winning, the expectations also increase.
01:03The whole community gets involved and wants to see Pakistan winning every match.
01:09The second basic thing was that the Australian main squad had a fast-bowling attack.
01:15Kaman, Hazlewood and Mitchell Stark were all absent.
01:19They were released for the Indian series.
01:23So there was a lot of expectation in this.
01:26There are a lot of experienced players in Pakistan.
01:33Apart from Babar Azam, Rizwan, Salman Azwar, you had a fast-bowler's battery.
01:38Naseem Shah, Shaheen Afridi and Harith Raouf.
01:42You had all three of them.
01:44It was strange.
01:47You can't do anything about it.
01:51Because the match was limited because of the rain.
01:54And a player like Maxwell can come and change it at any time.
01:58So this went against Pakistan.
02:00I think if the next match is in Sydney, Pakistan will try to perform better.
02:08I have a question.
02:10In English, we say horses for courses.
02:13If it was a 7-over match, we didn't even play it accordingly.
02:17We had set our numbers accordingly.
02:20What was the need for Babar Azam to go in such a match?
02:23You could have sent the power hitters.
02:25You could have increased your batting.
02:27Babar could not have made a run according to 12-14.
02:30What I mean to say is that we didn't make any special planning.
02:34Haseeb Ullah is coming down in the batting order.
02:37What's the point?
02:39I think Pakistan should have started preparing for the T20 World Cup earlier.
02:44If you remember, when Australia won the last 2023 World Cup in India,
02:49the T20 series was between India and Australia.
02:52Australia's team was completely changed.
02:55All the new players played against India.
02:58India also changed almost the same team.
03:00This is how other countries build their teams.
03:04But Pakistan has not started the preparation process yet.
03:08To take Babar Azam to the T20 World Cup is a prime example.
03:14To carry on Shaheen Afridi and Arif Rao.
03:17These are glimmering examples.
03:19We didn't give the new players a lot of opportunities.
03:24You are right.
03:25Babar Azam should have made a place in the T20 series.
03:29New players should have tried.
03:31As far as Haseeb Ullah is concerned,
03:33Haseeb Ullah has been playing with Pakistan for a long time.
03:39He started with PSL.
03:43He was given one or two matches in PSL.
03:45His number was shuffled.
03:46He didn't perform.
03:47He was left out of five matches.
03:49You have a domestic event.
03:51You have an upcoming player who you are grooming with the Pakistan team.
03:55You are not giving him all the matches in a domestic event.
03:59Then you took him to New Zealand.
04:01You gave him one match there.
04:03He was left out of four matches.
04:04You got him batting at number 6.
04:06Then your champion was scuffed.
04:08His approach and thinking...
04:10The selection committee of Pakistan...
04:12They kept Mohd Rizwan and Haseeb Ullah Khan in the same team.
04:16You know that you have to keep Haseeb Ullah with all the important players.
04:21He was left out of all the matches there.
04:23You gave him one or two matches.
04:25When you take a youngster and try an opponent at number 6.
04:29His definite result will be the same.
04:32Tell me something.
04:34You said that you are not preparing for the future.
04:36You are not giving chances to your youngsters.
04:39According to me, the series of giving chances is in the home.
04:43Or against weaker opponents.
04:45Going to Australia and putting all of them together.
04:48Although Saabzada Farhan deserves it.
04:52Everyone's performances are there.
04:54But going there in this condition...
04:57I felt that everyone was panicking.
05:00Seeing the target of 94, everyone was panicking.
05:03What do you have to say?
05:05Absolutely.
05:07In the 7 overs, when Stonis and Maxwell changed the total scenario.
05:14In the 7 overs, when you needed an average of 13-14 runs in the first half.
05:21Australia did not give a chance to Pakistan's batters.
05:25To play proper cricketing shots and cross the boundary.
05:29That's why Pakistan had to play big shots.
05:33They made mistakes.
05:35It was a complete disaster.
05:37As far as preparation is concerned.
05:39In the past, the series against weaker countries.
05:43We missed that opportunity.
05:46Our problem is that we don't have a layout.
05:52We don't have a long-term planning.
05:54We don't know when to include whom in the team.
05:57When to remove whom.
05:59Which youngsters are included in our future planning.
06:02Whom to keep together and groom.
06:04Whom to try in a different format.
06:06As long as we don't focus on this.
06:10And don't go with a long-term planning.
06:12Then you will see these things again and again.
06:14Despite the fact that you have produced good results in the last 8-10 months.
06:18You are absolutely right.
06:20I would like to say a few things about the captain.
06:23Rizwan is obviously doing very well in the limited overs.
06:26Because his body of work is still very less.
06:30So we can't say that he is a very good captain.
06:32It's only been a short time.
06:34He is doing well.
06:35And it seems that he is on his toes.
06:37He makes decisions immediately.
06:38But I feel one thing.
06:40Maybe he doesn't trust the spinners.
06:42Did you feel the same in this tour so far?
06:47I don't think any exceptional spinner has been given to Rizwan in the Australia tour.
06:52Just like the one-day series.
06:54All the four pace bowlers of Pakistan dominated there.
06:58Because of this, the spinners didn't get a place.
07:01And Pakistan kept winning.
07:03I still think that the deficiency of the spinners is definite.
07:06But I know one thing.
07:07When you come to the subcontinent and play.
07:09When you have to play in the champion trophy.
07:12Then you have to develop a spinner.
07:15And until you have two good spinners, you won't win matches.
07:19But I think that Rizwan has a very suitable choice of fast bowlers in the Australian tradition.
07:25So that's why he is going to them.
07:27But there is a definite difference.
07:29Shah Al Masood or Babur Azam.
07:31The major difference between them and Rizwan's captaincy is that.
07:35They were reactive type captains.
07:38When the other team used to react.
07:40And the water used to pass through.
07:42After that, their reaction used to start.
07:44But Rizwan's plus point has been seen.
07:47Which he has led so far.
07:49The way he led the champion trophy in Multan.
07:52Because he is a proactive type captain.
07:54He makes a strategy before any batsman comes.
07:57Discusses with his bowlers.
07:59And tries to trap the batsman.
08:01Similarly, he is going with a good strategy in batting.
08:04So I think there is a difference in both their leadership.
08:09Absolutely right.
08:10One question that the public is asking a lot.
08:13And a lot of people are obviously not following it.
08:16They are surprised that Saim Ayub is not there.
08:19So they don't remember that he was just there.
08:22He was not a part of the T20 squad for one day.
08:25So this question is being asked again and again.
08:27That when he gave a good performance in one day.
08:29Then why didn't they stop him for the T20 series?
08:31First of all, the story is that we don't have Fakhar Zaman.
08:36We are already missing him.
08:38Because he is a game-changer type player.
08:40Aamir Jamal's performance in Australia is good.
08:42He was also sent back.
08:44Saim Ayub was running there.
08:46He also came back.
08:48So how do you see this?
08:51I think this is a very relative question.
08:54Saim Ayub is a very utility player.
08:56When you don't have a player like Fakhar Zaman.
08:59And you also discarded him with the team.
09:02After that, Saim Ayub was very important for the T20.
09:06Because he is basically a T20 specialist.
09:08He performed very well in ESL.
09:10He had a good performance last year as well.
09:12And he is a very good player in white ball cricket.
09:14Because you can get him to bowl as well.
09:16And he can pass your time well for 1-2 overs.
09:18After that, he is a very outstanding kind of a fielder.
09:21So when you announce him in 4-5 teams.
09:24And you don't announce anything on any VM.
09:27And you keep creating pressure on yourself.
09:30Then such decisions are not normal in Pakistan cricket.
09:35Because Babar Azam's victory in T20.
09:39And Saim Ayub and Fakhar Zaman's absence.
09:41This is a very big question mark.
09:45Let's take a commercial break.
09:47We will be right back.
09:48We will be right back.
09:56Glad to have you back once again to Sports Room.
09:58And Abdul Rahul is with us.
10:00Rahul, tell me.
10:01We have talked a lot about the match.
10:04I want to know about the Champions Trophy.
10:06The upcoming update is that.
10:08ICC has asked BCCI for a written answer.
10:11That they don't want Pakistan to give a strong reason.
10:15So what are you seeing?
10:17What will this camel do in the future?
10:20I don't think they have a strong reason.
10:23And this is not a security issue.
10:25These are just lame excuses.
10:28And I think there are political issues in this.
10:30You will see that this story starts.
10:32Before and after May 2014.
10:34The scenario is different.
10:36Before May 22, when there was another government there.
10:38They had signed Big 3.
10:40Had taken a vote from Pakistan.
10:41Pakistan's TV chatters were coming.
10:43That somehow or the other.
10:44Give us a vote for Big 3.
10:46Pakistan gave a vote.
10:47MOU was signed.
10:48There were 6 bilateral series.
10:49Which was going to be in Pakistan and India.
10:514 were going to be in Pakistan.
10:53After that, when the BJP government was formed there.
10:56After May 2014.
10:58After that, the whole scenario changed.
11:00They refused to come.
11:02Then you will remember that in September 2015.
11:04Shahriar Khan.
11:06Anura Tarkar, who was their BCCI secretary.
11:08He had written a letter.
11:10That you have promised us.
11:12The written MOU was signed with us.
11:14You can follow it.
11:16You can follow our bilateral series in the UAE.
11:18But no answer was given from there.
11:20Then Pakistan took the matter to the international court.
11:22And how it happened there.
11:24Everyone knows.
11:26I think this is a political issue.
11:28And until the political decision is not made there.
11:30It will be very difficult.
