00:00Today's big development, today's big news.
00:02The ICC has unanimously agreed to a hybrid model of the Champions Trophy.
00:09What Pakistan wanted.
00:11If India doesn't come to play here, our matches will also be at a neutral venue.
00:17Mr. Shahid is here with me.
00:19Today you first broke this news.
00:21There is some peace because we were all anticipating for a long time.
00:27When will it happen? What will happen?
00:28Let's give it a PCB name. Partnership and Fusion.
00:31Fusion Formula.
00:32Hybrid model is the same as the Asia Cup.
00:35At that time, the chairmen were different. Now the chairmen are different.
00:38So the Partnership and Fusion model has been approved.
00:42According to me, millions of fans who want to see Pakistan in India,
00:46millions of fans who want to see Indian players in Pakistan,
00:50there is a big loss for them that they will be at neutral venues.
00:54Timbuktu or Colombo or Kuala Lumpur.
00:58Who is interested to see Pakistan-India match?
01:00If this match is in Lahore, if this match is in Ahmedabad, then what a great thing.
01:05And now the way our government is moving forward,
01:09the economy is also getting better, the conditions should also be good.
01:12So we should end the political tension from India.
01:15And for that, the first step should be taken towards cricket.
01:18That you didn't come to the Champions Trophy,
01:21the story is over.
01:22For the next 2025-2026, for the next few years,
01:27why are we depriving Generation Z, Generation X, Generation Y,
01:32that they want to see good players in Pakistan and good players in India.
01:39Absolutely right.
01:40Rauf, what to say, we had such a situation that we used to accept everything easily.
01:47We were convinced. There were not so many options.
01:50But this board, this chairman, at least put up this case.
01:55And it seems that this is the victory of Pakistan.
01:59What to say?
02:01But I think that the love of Pakistan, the hybrid model of love,
02:05Pakistan has maintained that.
02:07And India is also on its own path.
02:10I don't think there was any such reason,
02:12that there is a security issue or other concerns,
02:15because of which India doesn't tour Pakistan.
02:17I don't think so.
02:18When the world's top teams like Australia, England,
02:22your West Indies and New Zealand teams,
02:24they have been completely safe here.
02:27They didn't have any scottish concern.
02:30So I think that if India had come to Pakistan,
02:32there would have been no problem.
02:34But when they have involved it in their indifference,
02:37and not only in Pakistan, they are not involving politics in sports.
02:41In fact, you must have seen that when Rana Dungar,
02:44a strict statement came out,
02:46when he criticized Jaisalmer a lot,
02:49when he put an extra day on the match between India and Pakistan at the Asia Cup,
02:53when Sri Lanka was hosting the Asia Cup,
02:56he didn't give an extra day.
02:59So he said that their indifference is ruining Sri Lankan cricket.
03:03And in the same way, after the World Cup in Agra,
03:05the ICC denotified Sri Lanka,
03:08because the entire Sri Lankan cricket board was destroyed.
03:12So I think that politics should be kept aside from cricket.
03:15And India should have done a tour of Pakistan,
03:18because Pakistan has also done a tour of India three times.
03:20So if that doesn't happen, then okay, hybrid model,
03:23you play at your place, we played our matches in Dubai,
03:25so we will also not go to India,
03:27we will go and play the matches of Pakistan in Sri Lanka.
03:30So in this way, cricket or sports,
03:32or the millions of spectators of sports,
03:35the players of India and Pakistan,
03:37as Shahid Bhai has said,
03:40so you are depriving them of their fundamental basic rights.
03:46And I think it is a very sad news to involve politics in sports.
