00:00Welcome to Sports Room, I am your host Najeeb Ul-Husmain.
00:19The year 2025 will be the bumper season for Pakistan Cricket.
00:24Pakistani players will be home and away.
00:27We will see them in action.
00:28This year is full action packed.
00:30To talk about this, obviously such a great season is coming.
00:34There is so much cricket.
00:36Our preparation is also full of enthusiasm.
00:38Along with that, we have to avoid the mistakes that we make.
00:41To talk about this, we have with us.
00:43You all know him.
00:45He is a specialist of limited overs.
00:47Sohail Tanvir is with us.
00:49Sohail, Assalam-o-Alaikum. Welcome to the show.
00:51First of all, I would like to tell you that 2025 is a very important year for Pakistan.
00:58There will be Tri Series, Champions Trophy.
01:01After that, there is Asia Cup, PSL in Pakistan.
01:05And there are many international series.
01:07So, the mistakes that we have made in the past.
01:10We don't want to repeat them.
01:12We don't want to do that now.
01:13What do you say?
01:16Yes, Assalam-o-Alaikum.
01:17Najeeb, obviously, as you said.
01:20There is a lot of cricket coming for Pakistan this year.
01:23Champions Trophy, Asia Cup, which are major events.
01:27After that, there is Tri Series, PSL, which is your domestic season.
01:31In which all the players will be involved.
01:32So, there is a lot of cricket coming ahead.
01:34I will say that we need to be a bit more smart in terms of picking the players.
01:41Already, we have started doing that.
01:44Overall, if I talk about 2024.
01:47I think a lot of people have spoken about it.
01:51That we have seen a little bit of a lack of unity in the team.
02:00In the beginning of 2024, especially in the World Cup T20.
02:06I hope that things are starting to look better on screen.
02:12I hope that boys will carry it on and will get better.
02:16Now, we both agreed that it is a very packed season.
02:19So, it is very important to save the players from injuries.
02:23For this, our rotation policy has to be very strong.
02:25It is very important to rotate.
02:27What do you think?
02:29See, now we have talked that the packed season is coming.
02:33A lot of cricket is coming.
02:34So, for that, obviously, you need fit players.
02:38So, you can see the example all over the world.
02:41You pick and choose.
02:43Recently, if you have seen, we have started giving chances to youngsters.
02:50We have picked and chose.
02:52We thought that we can give chances to our youngsters.
02:58Or to the domestic performers.
03:00So, this way, you pick and choose.
03:02Which series is important?
03:04Which event is important?
03:05For example, Champions of Asia Cup, you go with your full strength.
03:07And when you get such opportunities, where you can try new faces.
03:13So, you do it this way.
03:14And I am happy to see that we have adopted that pattern all over the world.
03:21Let's talk a little bit about the test.
03:23Then, we will go to the Limited Overs Series and Champions Trophy.
03:27We will talk about that.
03:28First of all, tell me, I would like to ask about Shan Masood.
03:31Pakistan lost 8 test matches.
03:34Out of 10, Shan was the captain.
03:36Out of 4, 3 series were whitewashed.
03:39He looks quite mature.
03:42He talks sensibly.
03:44He performs well on and off.
03:46But still, the results are not what we were expecting.
03:50Do you see any flaw in his captaincy?
03:56Look, Shan is getting better.
03:58Obviously, we all know he is well-spoken.
04:02He understands the game well.
04:03It's not only about speaking English.
04:05I have had discussions with him.
04:08Whether while playing or later.
04:10He understands the game very well.
04:13Not only his own game.
04:14But overall, his cricketing knowledge is very good.
04:16So, I hope that he will start producing results.
04:19Obviously, he got 10 test matches as a captain.
04:22That is good enough time.
04:23Now, he should be producing results.
04:25I hope that he will.
04:27I won't say flaws.
04:29I think, as a team management, we made some mistakes.
04:38Especially, we lost to South Africa.
04:42If you talk about the bowling unit.
04:44You played 3 pacers.
04:47All 3 were of the same type.
04:49All 3 were new bowlers.
04:51Obviously, you can get 2 new bowlers.
04:54Whenever you bring a new bowler for the first change.
04:58He is not that effective.
05:01Because, I was a new bowler.
05:03I know the difference between old and new bowlers.
05:07I think, we miss the trick here.
05:11In terms of picking the playing 11.
05:14If I am not wrong.
05:16I think, we did the same in Pindi.
05:18You played 3 similar type of bowlers.
05:21Then, in the middle overs.
05:23Where you need some pace.
05:25You struggled there.
05:27I think, small things like this.
05:30Creates a big difference.
05:32The sooner you learn.
05:34As a leader.
05:36It is better for you.
05:37Next test is against West Indies.
05:39I think, WTC cycle is over.
05:43Both teams have no benefit from this.
05:45How important is it to give a chance to the youngsters.
05:48I mean, the performers of Quaid-e-Azam Trophy.
05:51How important is it to give a chance to them.
05:54How important do you think?
05:56I don't think.
05:58We need to make a lot of changes in this team.
06:01It is about the horses.
06:03In South Africa.
06:05Sajid Khan.
06:07He played very well in the last series.
06:09For Pakistan.
06:11He played a very important role in our victory.
06:14Obviously, in South Africa.
06:16You can't carry two spinners.
06:18Obviously, he will be back in the team.
06:22I don't see a lot of changes.
06:25The performers are domestic.
06:27Obviously, you induct them.
06:29When you see an open spot.
06:33For example, Saim has been injured.
06:35He won't be available.
06:37You can look for him.
06:39If you want to replace Saim.
06:41You should bring the opener.
06:44In the past, we have seen.
06:46To accommodate the performers.
06:49Or to show.
06:51We bring them.
06:53You bring the middle order.
06:55You bring the opener instead of the middle order.
06:57You put the opener in the middle order.
06:59It is not good for anyone.
07:01Neither for the team.
07:03Nor for the player.
07:05Who has performed at a specific number all his life.
07:08When he has to get a result.
07:11His hard work.
07:13You put him in a place.
07:16Where he is never used to.
07:18You should give him a chance.
07:20But where it is necessary.
07:22You have touched on the topic.
07:25Which is in everyone's mind.
07:27The topic of Saim Ayub.
07:29Saim has made himself.
07:31A superstar of Pakistan.
07:33The game changer.
07:35Modern day cricket.
07:37He plays in that style.
07:39Do you think.
07:41If Saim is injured.
07:43He won't be available.
07:45For the Champions Trophy.
07:47We are keeping our fingers crossed.
07:49It is a big loss for Pakistan.
07:53Saim.
07:55In the last 6 months.
07:57The way he has performed.
07:59Not only for Pakistan.
08:01He is being recognized worldwide.
08:03I am sure.
08:05In the coming years.
08:07He will become more famous.
08:09In world cricket.
08:11Definitely.
08:13When you have such an explosive batsman.
08:15If you have a match winner.
08:17Saim.
08:19When he performs.
08:21He has that ability.
08:23To win the game single-handedly.
08:25If he plays 20-25 overs.
08:27He takes the game to his team.
08:29That's a big setback.
08:31For Pakistan cricket.
08:33I hope.
08:35He will recover soon.
08:37And will be available for the Champions Trophy.
08:39If not.
08:41Teams don't last more than 1-2 plays.
08:43You have to play as a unit.
08:45You have to deliver.
08:47Your cricket should be strong.
08:49That's why.
08:51Your back-up should be strong.
08:53You should make it strong.
08:55So that.
08:57You don't get a question mark.
09:01If a player is out.
09:03Will Pakistan win?
09:05Yes.
09:07There are match winners in every team.
09:09But not always.
09:11I hope.
09:13Saim recovers soon.
09:15If not.
09:17We will have a plan.
09:19You will feel the absence of Saim.
09:21But the result matters.
09:23Very well said.
09:25It's true.
09:27There are match winners.
09:29You depend on them.
09:31But you can't rely on one person.
09:33I want to know.
09:35You have played cricket for a long time.
09:37You have seen your fair share of injuries.
09:39How long does it take for Saim to recover?
09:41What do you think?
09:43Can he play in action?
09:47Injuries vary.
09:53I saw a video today.
09:55After his check-up.
09:57It was a good sign.
10:01I assume there is no fracture.
10:03If there is no fracture.
10:05The healing process is quick.
10:09We will wait for a clear report.
10:11Then we will decide.
10:13But for now.
10:15The initial tests.
10:17I think.
10:19It shouldn't take long.
10:21It should be available.
10:23For Champions of E.
10:25But again.
10:27I will repeat.
10:29When the results are conclusive.
10:31After the medical assessment.
10:33You can decide.
10:35You can decide.
10:39Assistant coach.
10:41Azhar Mehmood.
10:43Medical team.
10:45Doctors.
10:47Why didn't they come?
10:49You never know.
10:53We will take a commercial break.
10:55We will discuss further.
10:57Sohail Tanvir is with us.
10:59Don't go anywhere.
11:01We will be right back.
11:05Welcome back.
11:13Welcome back to Sports Room.
11:15Sohail Tanvir is with us.
11:17We were talking to Sohail.
11:19About Saim Ayub and his fitness.
11:21Abdullah is not in form.
11:23We talked about Saim's fitness.
11:25If he wasn't in form.
11:27Fakhardaman and Imamul Haq should be in form.
11:29What do you think?
11:31What options do we have?
11:33Fakhar has a lot of space.
11:35If Saim is in form.
11:37If I am in form.
11:39I will never let Fakhar out.
11:41He is a match winner.
11:43Like Saim.
11:45He is an explosive batsman.
11:47On their day.
11:49They win you a game single handedly.
11:51You have a lot of players.
11:533-4.
11:55Who can win you a single handed match.
11:57You don't sit your match winner out.
11:59Fakhar was ill.
12:01His medical treatment.
12:03Was going on.
12:05He said in his statement.
12:07He was out of cricket for 2 months.
12:09If he is fully fit.
12:11He should be in.
12:13Regardless.
12:15If Saim is in form or not.
12:17If Saim is not in form.
12:19He is your automatic choice.
12:21If I am in form.
12:23I will never let Fakhar out.
12:25For batsmen.
12:27PCB has prepared a strike force.
12:29You have a plan.
12:31For bowlers.
12:33You don't need to do this.
12:37Like in white ball cricket.
12:39Power hitting.
12:41You see an element.
12:43Where you need improvement.
12:45I think.
12:47Pakistan's fast bowling.
12:49Especially in white ball cricket.
12:51In death bowling.
12:53I see.
12:55Variation is not used.
12:57As it should be.
12:59Other teams do.
13:01Different ideas.
13:03I don't see.
13:05Pakistani bowlers.
13:07Slow bouncers.
13:09Variation is not used.
13:11Obviously.
13:13Upcoming players.
13:15Not only.
13:17Mainstream bowlers.
13:19Who are playing for Pakistan.
13:21Other domestic players.
13:23In modern day.
13:25White ball cricket.
13:27Bowling has changed.
13:29Batsmen.
13:31Have developed different shots.
13:33Ram shot.
13:35In test cricket.
13:37White ball cricket.
13:39Bowlers need to enhance their skills.
13:41For that.
13:43I hope.
13:45Those who have taken the initiative.
13:47They will take it for the bowlers.
13:49We need to develop skills.
13:51Pakistani bowlers.
13:53They were famous.
13:55Now.
13:57They are not so fast.
13:59Do you want to help.
14:01With coaching?
14:05If I am asked.
14:07If they need my services.
14:09Especially white ball.
14:11T20 cricket.
14:13Variation.
14:15I have shown my interest.
14:17I have spoken about it.
14:19Lot of time.
14:21You do not go.
14:23To talk.
14:25If someone needs.
14:27He calls you.
14:29If needed.
14:31You know me very well.
14:33How passionate I am.
14:35About Pakistan.
14:37If you need my service.
14:39Why not.
14:41There are many more options.
14:43You can utilize them.
14:45The idea is.
14:47Those who have played.
14:49I think.
14:51They can transfer their knowledge.
14:53To youngsters.
14:55It is not only about.
14:57Pakistan team players.
14:59More importantly.
15:01It is about transferring the knowledge.
15:03To youth.
15:05Domestic players.
15:07Who want to serve Pakistan.
15:09If needed.
15:11Why not.
15:13My first experience.
15:15I left playing cricket.
15:17I accepted a job.
15:19I tried my best.
15:21I worked hard.
15:23I do not want to repeat it here.
15:25It did not end well.
15:27But anyways.
15:29For Pakistan.
15:31My services are available.
15:33Thank you so much.
15:35For your time.
15:37Tanvir is in Canada.
15:39He gave us time.
15:43I hope you liked the program.
15:45Take care.
15:47Allah Hafiz.
