00:00Assalam-o-Alaikum, hello and welcome to Sports Room. I am your host, Najeeb-ul-Asnain.
00:10Viewers, another propaganda of Indian media has failed.
00:15They have started a propaganda against the Champions Trophy.
00:19Pakistan is not ready for this.
00:21Before the Mega Event, there is going to be a tri-series.
00:24Indian media has got the answer.
00:27We will show you the details in this report.
00:30Indian media has failed in another propaganda to damage the Champions Trophy.
00:37Indian media has made the construction work of the stadium in Karachi and Lahore a joke.
00:42They have left the entire Champions Trophy UAE project.
00:45But DCB has announced the tri-series and has given a shut-up call to Indian media.
00:50Before the Champions Trophy, Pakistan, New Zealand and South Africa will take part in the tri-series.
00:56This series will be a rehearsal for the Champions Trophy.
00:59The tri-series will be against the West Indies after the test series.
01:02The Champions Trophy will be over soon.
01:05There are less than 40 days left in the beginning of the Mega Event.
01:08Pakistan will reach Pakistan in the second week of June-February.
01:11The action will start from 19th February.
01:13India will play in Dubai.
01:16To talk about this, we have with us the former Test Cricketer, Tauseef Ahmed.
01:19Tauseef Bhai, Assalam-o-Alaikum, how are you?
01:23Wa-Alaikum-Salam, I can hear your voice.
01:28Tauseef Bhai, can you hear me now?
01:30Yes, I can hear you now.
01:32The propaganda of Indian media has failed again.
01:36The talks against the Champions Trophy were going on.
01:40What will you say about this?
01:43I will say that there is no need to give them any justification.
01:50When the talks are over, we will talk about it.
01:57There is no point in talking about it.
02:00I don't think they should be given any justification.
02:03We have the trophy.
02:05We will talk about it.
02:07We will do it on purpose.
02:09We will try to do more such things.
02:12So that we don't get damaged.
02:15But there is no need for that now.
02:16We have made such a big decision and succeeded in it.
02:19I don't think there is a need to be worried.
02:22All the people and all the ex-players,
02:26we are definitely with PCB and with this tournament.
02:31First, the scene was going on that they will come here to play.
02:34They gave so many options.
02:37Then we went to the formula which is called the fusion formula.
02:41All this happened.
02:43But don't they have any idea that when the tri-nation will happen,
02:47the picture will become clearer in front of the people
02:49that how much we are ready for this event.
02:52See, if the tri-nation is related,
02:57this is in our favor.
02:59It is good that we will get practice.
03:02Everything will happen in its place.
03:04But if we have to show them that this is how it is,
03:09I say to myself that if we are close to them,
03:13then we should slap them.
03:15Like you said, you gave a shut-up call.
03:19I am saying that they will do something now.
03:23There is no use of that.
03:24I say from that point of view,
03:27the tri-nation that we are playing,
03:31we have started getting a lot of benefit from it.
03:33We will get practice.
03:34We will make our combination.
03:37Okay.
03:38Thank you very much.
03:39Tauseef Bhai was with us.
03:40Mr. Tauseef Ahmed was sharing his opinion
03:43on the Indian media's propaganda
03:46regarding the Tri Series and the Champions Trophy.
03:49Now we are talking about the preparations.
03:51So let's see that one by one.
03:53First of all, the construction work in the National Stadium, Karachi.
03:57The time for the ICC has also come.
03:59They visited there.
04:01Ali Hassan is giving a report in this regard
04:03that how ready is the National Stadium, Karachi.
04:06So let's go to him.
04:26The International Cricket Council is satisfied with the arrangements
04:29because the construction work in Karachi
04:31has been completed by 90%.
04:33The ICC representatives examined the newly built building in detail.
04:36New chairs were installed in the general enclosure.
04:38The work of putting the grill on the side of the ground is also being completed.
04:41In the next phase, the stadiums of Lahore and Rawalpindi will also be visited.
04:45Ali Hassan with cameraman Mohammad Adnan.
04:47ARY News, Karachi.
04:48This is about Karachi.
04:50And Ali Hassan said that almost 90% of the work has gone towards completion
04:55and the work is going on very fast.
04:56What are the scenes in Khazafi Stadium, Lahore?
04:58Because we are also seeing there that the work is being done day and night
05:01with the upgradation of the ground.
05:03So let's have a look.
05:04The preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy,
05:06the upgradation of the Khazafi Stadium,
05:08has entered the final stage of completion.
05:10The number of spectators has been increased to 35,000.
05:13New chairs have also been installed in the entire stadium.
05:16In order to increase the standard of broadcast,
05:18480 new LED lights have been installed.
05:21The audience will get a great viewing quality all over the world.
05:25To make the experience of the spectators even better,
05:28two giant VPS screens will also be installed by next week.
05:36Day and night work is going on to complete the construction of the stadium.
05:40The chairman himself comes every few days to inspect the stadium
05:43and takes a look.
05:44The new and beautiful Khazafi Stadium will be inaugurated in the last week of January.
05:50We saw Karachi, we saw Lahore.
05:52Raja Mohsin is with us from Pindi.
05:55He will update us on how the work is going on in Rawalpindi
05:58and at what speed this progress is moving forward.
06:02So over to you Raja.
06:04What do you say, how is the work going on
06:07and how soon will this work be completed?
06:10Yes, absolutely.
06:11All the preparations for decorating the Champions Trophy are complete.
06:16Rawalpindi Stadium is also included as a venue in the Champions Trophy.
06:21If we talk about the upgradation work,
06:24minor touch-ups are still to be done.
06:27If my cameraman Fayyaz can show you,
06:29this main building where there are pavilions,
06:32hospitality boxes are also here.
06:34All the preparations and construction work is complete here.
06:39The work to install 10,000 chairs is still going on.
06:44According to the Pakistan Cricket Board officials,
06:47this work will be completed well before 25th January, which is the deadline.
06:52All the upgradation work that has been done here at Pindi Stadium,
06:55during that time, it was made sure that the ground part
07:00can also be kept healthy and fresh.
07:03Three Champions Trophy matches will be played at this venue,
07:06in which Pakistan versus Bangladesh is also included.
07:08Pakistan is the home team.
07:10There is a lot of excitement that Pakistan will play a match here.
07:15There is a lot of excitement for the Pakistan-Bangladesh match at Pindi Stadium.
07:20If we talk about the preparations at Pindi Stadium,
07:25they will be completed well before 25th January
07:28because minor touch-ups are still to be done.
07:31Thank you very much.
07:32Raja Mohsin was with us.
07:34We showed you the Kazafi Stadium, National Stadium, Pindi Stadium.
07:38The work is going on very fast.
07:41It will be completed well before the deadline.
07:44I think the neighboring media will also be relieved
07:48by seeing that we are ready for the Champions Trophy
07:50and the Tri Series before that.
07:54Let's take a short commercial break.
07:55Don't go anywhere. We'll be right back.
08:04We are back once again to the sports room.
08:07Test cricket is going to be divided into two divisions.
08:14This is a big problem.
08:16As soon as Jai Shah became the chairman of the ICC,
08:19he started applying the same Big 3 formula.
08:23Let's show you the details in this report.
08:35Once again, the Big 3 formula was used in cricket.
08:37This formula was used 10 years ago as well.
08:40After Jai Shah became the chairman of the ICC,
08:42India once again started trying to make a difference in cricket.
08:46India has been defeated by the Big 3 formula in 2017,
08:49but it is not taking the name of improvement.
08:51This time, India has brought England and Australia together again.
08:55Suhana has started showing dreams.
08:57According to Zarai, the ICC World Test Championship
09:00is planned to be divided into two divisions.
09:03India, England and Australia will be in the first division.
09:06The rest of the teams will be in the second division.
09:08This will fill the pockets of all three countries,
09:11but it will destroy cricket.
09:13Sri Lankan cricket legend Rana Tunga
09:15has criticized India, Australia and England's new plan.
09:18He said that India should get out of selfishness
09:20and look at the benefits of cricket.
09:22South African former captain Graham Smith also said
09:25that only three teams in the world play in this game.
09:28In 2017, England and Australia,
09:31eight countries voted against the Big 3,
09:34but this time India will enter the field with a new plan.
09:38On this, we will talk to our sports correspondent,
09:40Mr. Shahid Hashmi.
09:41Mr. Shahid, first of all, tell us that
09:43India has already failed in the Big 3 formula.
09:48Now, has it come with full preparation?
09:51What is the BCCI looking for?
09:54The BCCI was already looking for a split,
09:59India, Australia and England wanted the Big 3.
10:04But when the Big 3 happened in 2014,
10:07other test-playing countries like Sri Lanka and Pakistan
10:12protested a little.
10:14Associated countries like Ireland and Afghanistan
10:17also protested a little that the Big 3 should not happen.
10:21And at that time, the BCCI's secretary,
10:23I remember Anurag Thakur,
10:25Anurag Thakur ended the conversation by saying
10:28that we want to keep test cricket alive.
10:32So if you want to keep test cricket alive,
10:34then you will have to bring more cricket teams.
10:37Two small teams, Afghanistan and Ireland,
10:39do not play test matches with big teams.
10:41England refused, Australia refused
10:43that we will not play bilateral series with Afghanistan.
10:46Afghanistan does not want to play so much with Pakistan.
10:50We don't want to play either.
10:51So when small countries will not play with each other
10:54and big countries will not play with small countries,
10:56then how will test cricket survive?
10:58This is a way to curtail test cricket
11:00and try to keep it only up to the top three,
11:03which other nations should not have.
11:06Mr. Shahid, after hearing all this,
11:08did you get surprised to see the Big 3 matter rising again?
11:11Or did you have an idea that this would happen?
11:14I was not so surprised
11:16when the split decision of the Big 3 was taken.
11:19It was going on since 2014 that the Big 3 will go separately,
11:22they will play more cricket.
11:24And now the test cricket demands
11:27that there should be a good team,
11:29more crowd, 3,73,000 crowd came
11:32in 5 test matches of India and Australia.
11:35So the Big 3 was going on for a long time.
11:38And if you look at the score books and all the records,
11:42then after 2019,
11:44all the test series that have been done,
11:46if India, England and Australia are involved in it,
11:49then it is of 3 or 5 test matches.
11:52For example, if Sri Lanka and Pakistan play,
11:54then there will be 2 tests.
11:55If Pakistan and West Indies play,
11:57then there will be 2 tests.
11:58If Sri Lanka and West Indies play,
11:59then there will be 2 tests.
12:00But where Australia will be West Indies,
12:03there will be 3 tests.
12:04Where India, Zimbabwe, West Indies or Bangladesh,
12:13then there will be 3 tests.
12:16But most of the Big 3 were playing 3 or 5 test series.
12:21We were already playing 2 test matches.
12:23Now Pakistan has to improve its performance of test cricket.
12:27If the performance of test cricket improves,
12:29then you will get more cricket.
12:31Otherwise, these three will keep playing.
12:33And this is crowd-based.
12:35The more the crowd, the more the team will play.
12:38Thank you very much.
12:39Mr. Shahid Hashmi was with us
12:41and was updating about this important issue.
12:43We were talking about test cricket.
12:45Now let's talk about the Champions Trophy.
12:47We all know about you.
12:49Kamran Akmal believes that
12:51for the Champions Trophy,
12:53it is very important to be in the team of Fakhar Zaman.
12:55He also said that the initial games are very important.
12:59Let me show you what else he had to say.
13:02We have with us the former test cricketer,
13:05Mr. Kamran Akmal.
13:07Let's talk to him.
13:08Which two teams can play the Champions Trophy final?
13:10It's too early to predict the Champions Trophy final.
13:15We want Pakistan to play in the final.
13:18Pakistan has the momentum and confidence.
13:21For that, you will have to do better.
13:23You will have to play better cricket.
13:25Every child of Pakistan wants Fakhar to play.
13:29The issue is in front of everyone.
13:31He has been punished for it.
13:33All the teams are very strong.
13:35There is a match with India.
13:37Then with New Zealand.
13:38The first two matches are very important.
13:40We cannot afford to make a mistake there.
13:43As you can see, Mr. Kamran Akmal says that
13:46Fakhar Zaman and Imamul Haq should be included
13:49in the playing eleven of the Champions Trophy.
13:54Kamran Akmal says that Fakhar Zaman and Imamul Haq
13:57should be included in the squad of the Champions Trophy.
13:59Obviously, the problem for us is that
14:02Pakistan's star batter, Saim Ayub, is injured.
14:06His treatment is going on in London.
14:08The doctors believe that the report will come.
14:11Then we can tell you how long it will take.
14:14Zayed Noor is with us from London.
14:17He will update us on Saim's injury and his treatment.
14:22Zayed, tell us what is going on with Saim Ayub's injury?
14:28National cricket team batter, Saim Ayub,
14:31reached London from Cape Town on Tuesday
14:33for his injury treatment.
14:35He was examined by Dr. Arthur in Harley Street Clinic.
14:40He was tested and his reports are expected today.
14:45He has been there for the past two hours
14:48for his test reports and other examinations.
14:51These test reports will be kept in front of the medical panel
14:55who will give a time frame for his treatment and fitness.
14:58After this treatment and time fitness,
15:01we will know if he will be able to play the Champions Trophy or not.
15:07When Saim Ayub came to the clinic,
15:09his assistant coach, Azhar Mahbood,
15:11said that everything will be fine.
15:14There is a lot of positive news.
15:16Whatever the medical board decides,
15:18it will be given to everyone.
15:20The day Saim Ayub reaches London Airport,
15:25he will bring him on a wheelchair.
15:28When Saim Ayub came to the clinic,
15:30he walked on the clutches himself.
15:32The Pakistan Cricket Board is taking care of all his medical expenses.
15:36The Pakistan High Commission is supporting him in London.
15:39Tell us about the reports that are expected today.
15:43Then the doctors will tell us.
15:45What is the update on this?
15:47The reports of the people who were tested yesterday
15:51will come today.
15:53Saim Ayub's second patient has also been called.
15:56The reports will be kept in front of the medical panel.
15:59Azhar Mahbood was talking to the media.
16:02He said that the reports will be kept in front of the medical panel.
16:07How long will his treatment last?
16:11When will he be able to play again?
16:13He is still in the clinic.
16:16There is no news about him.
16:18Let's see what Saim Ayub has to say about his injury.
16:24He said that he can play in the stable weight.
16:27Other than that, the reports will be sent to the medical panel.
16:33The medical panel and the doctors will tell us.
16:36I am not a doctor.
16:42Zayed Noor was with us.
16:44He was updating us about Saim Ayub.
16:46You yourself heard what the doctors had to say.
16:49Let's see how Saim Ayub is waiting for his treatment.
16:53Hopefully, he recovers soon.
16:56Pakistan needs him.
16:58Let's talk about domestic cricket.
17:02The National T20 Cup will be held on 18 teams in March.
17:06The PCB has announced the domestic cricket schedule for 2025.
