00:00Hello and welcome to Sports Room. I am your host, Najeeb-ul-Hassanain.
00:09For the Tri-Nation Series, Pakistan will start preparations from next week.
00:14They will start preparations, but we don't know about the team yet.
00:16And everyone is surprised as to why Pakistan has not yet announced its squad for the Tri-Nation and Champions Trophy.
00:23It is still being said that the decision will be made in a day or two.
00:26When will we get to know about the squad?
00:28We have with us sports correspondent Mr. Shahid Hashmi.
00:31Mr. Shahid, Assalam-o-Alaikum.
00:32Wa-Alaikum-Assalam.
00:34Mr. Shahid, what is the update?
00:35Why is the team so secretive?
00:37All the teams in the world have announced their squad.
00:41We don't know about Pakistan yet.
00:43We are waiting for February 11.
00:46By February 11, we will gather 15 players and announce it.
00:51We should have done it earlier.
00:53I feel that the preliminary squad of 25 players has been given to the ICC.
00:58No confirmation has been made about it yet.
01:01The people of the Pakistan Cricket Board keep saying that it will be in the next 48 hours.
01:08Friday is a day when everyone's wish is fulfilled.
01:13So, it is possible that our wish will also be fulfilled.
01:15Mr. Shahid, I don't understand what is the reason for keeping it a secret.
01:18Because if you have a question mark about Saim Ayub,
01:21then India has also written on Bumrah,
01:23subject to fitness, you say replacement.
01:25That is also possible.
01:26Is there any other player?
01:28I think AB de Villiers Sachin Tendulkar.
01:31Is there anyone for whom you are waiting?
01:33What is the reason for such a delay?
01:35Earlier, it seemed that Saim Ayub's fitness reports,
01:39all the medical reports of Saim Ayub will come.
01:42Now it is known that Saim Ayub is in a difficult situation in this Champions Trophy.
01:46His game is over.
01:48Even the chairman has ruled out him.
01:50They don't want him.
01:51He is a priceless player.
01:53He has to play cricket in the future.
01:55He is young.
01:56Obviously, he cannot take risks.
01:58So, I don't know what to expect.
02:00The Pakistan Cricket Board knows that you can announce 15 squads by February 11.
02:05After that, you will have to take permission from their technical committee for any injury or replacement.
02:11So, it should be done on Thursday or Friday.
02:15Okay, let's talk about the tri-series.
02:17There are four matches in the tri-series.
02:19But their importance is that they will give you a very good preparation for the Champions Trophy.
02:24Not only for Pakistan, but for the other two teams as well.
02:27How do you see?
02:28Where is the Pakistan team standing?
02:30And what will be the benefit of these matches?
02:33The Pakistan team has just come from Australia.
02:36They have won the series in Australia.
02:37We won the series after 2002.
02:39We won the series after 22 years.
02:41It was a relatively easy series in Zimbabwe.
02:44We won the series there.
02:45After that, we won the series in South Africa.
02:48It was a remarkable series.
02:50Although, they didn't have two or three fast bowlers.
02:52Despite that, they had a very strong team.
02:55Pakistan winning 3-0 there is a sign that Pakistan's one-day team is in very good form.
03:01We are on the ranking of number three.
03:03We are in the top three favorites of the Champions Trophy.
03:06Absolutely right.
03:07And Pakistan will get a chance to make good preparations in this tri-series as well.
03:10The first match of Pakistan's Champions Trophy was in New Zealand.
03:13The first match of the tri-series was in New Zealand as well.
03:15So, if there are two matches in New Zealand,
03:18the first match and the final,
03:20then there will be more preparation for the opening match of the Champions Trophy.
03:24And overall, for the Champions Trophy,
03:26all three teams will get a good preparation.
03:28We will become famous from the ground.
03:30And from the conditions here,
03:32we will become even more famous in South Africa and New Zealand.
03:34Do you believe in that school of thought
03:36that because of the pitches in the test series,
03:38our batters who are playing the Champions Trophy,
03:41they will have a big problem in that.
03:43They didn't make runs here.
03:45According to me, this is a different format altogether.
03:47But do you think that this has caused a loss?
03:49Not at all.
03:51Keep that in mind.
03:53Forget it.
03:55And all the boys from Multan must have taken Sohan Halwa.
03:58They must have forgotten to eat the halwa and forget everything.
04:01We should keep that in mind.
04:03The performance was disappointing.
04:04Especially in the second test, the batting failed.
04:06Otherwise, our formula was absolutely fine.
04:08According to me, it was fine.
04:10Like Aqib Javed and Shahan said,
04:13this formula was fine.
04:15But to lose to a weaker team,
04:17an inexperienced team,
04:19is really disappointing.
04:21But there are so many players.
04:23Rizwan, who is in the test,
04:25Salman Agha and Kamran Ghulam.
04:27These are the two or three players who will be in your one-day.
04:30And they must have forgotten everything.
04:32They must have remembered that tour in white ball cricket.
04:34Like the tour of Australia.
04:36Babur Azam is not making runs from Babur Azam.
04:38Babur Azam is also there.
04:40There are three or four players.
04:42Your bowling will be different.
04:44If Abraar gets selected,
04:46Abraar will be selected in one-day.
04:48Abraar was such a bowler who is in this team and will be in that team.
04:50So your team is very different.
04:52White ball cricket.
04:54According to me, there is no chance of defeating West Indies.
04:56I would like to ask you one last question.
04:58Let's move from Pakistan and talk.
05:00ICC's CEO, Jeff Lardis,
05:02has left his position.
05:04He has been dismissed from his position.
05:06He has worked for ICC for 13 years.
05:08And now it's time to
05:10take a step back.
05:12What happened suddenly?
05:16A week has passed.
05:18It was December 8th or 10th.
05:20Jeff Lardis told
05:22an official in UAE
05:24that he was completing his day.
05:26At that time,
05:28Jeff Lardis was
05:30awarded a watch-up
05:32in the T20 World Cup
05:34The tournament was a watch-up.
05:36The budget was out.
05:38Preparations were not good.
05:40The logistics of the teams were not good.
05:42The board members were
05:44very angry with him.
05:46Apart from that,
05:48Alex Marshall,
05:50the head of the anti-corruption
05:52unit of ICC,
05:54has also resigned.
05:56Chris Tetley,
05:58the event manager of ICC,
06:00has won many world cups,
06:02including the T20 World Cup.
06:04Claire Fallon,
06:06the head of marketing,
06:08has also resigned.
06:10She was also accused of
06:12mismanagement in the T20 World Cup.
06:14The fourth official
06:16has also resigned.
06:18Recently,
06:20an official from the Asian Cricket Council
06:22has also resigned.
06:24Bharti Najabi,
06:26the event manager of ICC,
06:28has also resigned.
06:30The Indian lobby will get stronger.
06:32After some time,
06:34you will see that the head office
06:36of ICC has shifted to India.
06:38Thank you very much, Shahid Hashmi.
06:40He was giving his opinion on all the topics.
06:42We were talking about the Champions Trophy
06:44and its preparations.
06:46The website selling tickets
06:48for the ICC Champions Trophy
06:50has crashed.
06:52Due to the online rush,
06:54the sale has been temporarily
06:56stopped.
06:58The sale started in the afternoon of April.
07:28The ticket window will open soon.
07:30You will be able to buy tickets
07:32from the Shaikhin Mukarrara branch.
07:34We have updated you about the tickets.
07:36How is the work of the stadiums going on?
07:38How far has the gradation process
07:40reached? Let's go one by one.
07:42First of all, we will have with us
07:44our representative Raja Mohsin from Pindi.
07:46Pindi's work is in its final stages.
07:48Raja, please tell me
07:50how many final stages
07:52we have been hearing for many days.
07:54How far has it reached?
07:56Chairman PCP Mohsin Naqvi
07:58has also visited the stadium.
08:00Today,
08:02the Chairman of Pakistan Cricket Board
08:04reached Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium in the morning.
08:06He took a detailed look
08:08at the gradation process
08:10and evaluated it.
08:12If I talk about Pindi Cricket Stadium,
08:14there is not much
08:16construction or
08:18gradation related work here.
08:20Only the chairs
08:22are being installed here.
08:24This work will be completed
08:26in the next 2-3 days.
08:30The finishing stages
08:32of these chairs
08:34are being completed.
08:36The digital screen
08:38has also been completed.
08:40It has been completed
08:42to the last stage.
08:44When the Chairman PCP came here
08:46in the morning,
08:48he clearly said that
08:50he will do the best arrangements
08:52as far as Pindi Stadium is concerned.
08:54The main pavilion,
08:56media box,
08:58and other facilities
09:00have already been completed.
09:02The installation of the chairs
09:04will be completed in the next 2-3 days.
09:06Tell me one thing,
09:08when we watch the Pindi match on TV,
09:10it looks like a Karnataka match.
09:12There are clothes on the chairs.
09:14It looks like a wedding ceremony.
09:16It won't be like that now, right?
09:18There will be an international stadium feel, right?
09:20Yes, exactly.
09:22These are the 2 general stands
09:24where the wedding chairs
09:26used to be installed.
09:28These chairs have been installed
09:30there.
09:32After the installation of the chairs,
09:34only the cleaning,
09:36finishing, and pant work
09:38are left.
09:40It is hoped that
09:42cricket will not only see
09:44excellent cricket, but also
09:46excellent facilities in the stadium.
09:48The matches are scheduled for the Champions Trophy.
09:50On February 24, Bangladesh
09:52will play against New Zealand.
09:54On the 25th, Australia will play against South Africa.
09:56On the 27th, Pakistan will play
09:58against the host team.
10:00Thank you very much.

11:18With cameraman Mustansar Hussain,
11:20Ali Hassan, ARY News, Karachi.
11:32Construction work is in the final stages.
11:34Now let's go to the Kazafi Stadium.

11:40Mr. Jawad Kazi,

11:52You can see
11:54that our chairs are almost complete.
11:56We will complete them by tomorrow night.
11:58Lights have been energized.

12:18Now we are going to
12:20the finishing of the
12:22second, third and fourth floors.
12:24Apart from this,
12:26you must have seen
12:28that we have started the exterior development
12:30in full swing.
12:32The roads, Liberty End
12:34and Kazafi Ferozepur End

12:40Now we have to put a layer of varying surface
12:42on it. We will put it at the end.
12:44The Kazafi Stadium is ready for the Champions Trophy.
12:46This was the director of
12:48Infrastructure, PCB,
12:50Mr. Jawad Kazi. He was telling us
12:52that the work of the chairs has been completed
12:54by tomorrow night.
12:56Mr. Shehzad Malik is also present there.
12:58He will tell us
13:00about the process of upgradation
13:02of the Kazafi Stadium Lahore.
13:04Shehzad.
13:06I am present at the Kazafi Stadium
13:08where the work of the upgrade
13:10of the Kazafi Stadium
13:12has entered its final stages.
13:14The date of 30th January
13:16was given by the Pakistan Cricket Board.
13:18But a lot of work is still left.
13:20A while ago,
13:22the director of Infrastructure,
13:24Mr. Jawad Kazi,
13:26briefed us and said
13:28that the work will be completed

13:46They are the latest lights.

14:00The stadium will be ready
14:02at the ICC level.
14:04The teams will come
14:06and play a match
14:08on 8th February.
14:10Before that, they will practice.
14:12Thank you very much.
14:14Shehzad Malik was with us.
14:16We have shown you the process
14:18of all three stadiums.
14:20Let's take a short break.
14:22We will be right back.
14:26Glad to have you back
14:28once again to Sports Room.
14:30Before the break,
14:32we were talking about
14:34Champions Trophy and
14:36preparations.
14:38Let's talk about the
14:40recently concluded
14:42Test Series.
14:44Former Test Cricketer
14:46Asim Kamal has joined us.
14:48There is a lot of criticism
14:50on this formula.
14:52Do you think Pakistan cricket's
14:54growth is stopping because of this?
14:56Our growth will not stop.
14:58It has stopped.
15:00When there are matches
15:02at home, you take
15:04advantage of everything.
15:06Don't finish your cricket.
15:08You are getting out of spinners
15:10and taking 20 wickets.
15:12Are your fast bowlers
15:14strong enough to take
15:16such spells?
15:18You have to think about
15:20your future.
15:22You don't have to play at home all your life.
15:24You have to go away.
15:26You will get good wickets at home.
15:28You will get flat tracks.
15:30What will you do on flat tracks?
15:32You will have fast bowlers
15:34with good line length
15:36and variations.
15:38You should see that.
15:40You have taken all your fast bowlers
15:42out.
15:44You go from two spinners.
15:46There is no need for a third one.
15:48How many have bowled?
15:50You should at least include
15:52a fast bowler.
15:54You don't need
15:56all the fast bowlers.
15:58You have spinners.
16:00You should have at least
16:0220-25 fast bowlers.
16:04Whoever comes to the press conference,
16:06they give examples
16:08of what happens in Australia and India.
16:10For example, there is a test match
16:12and Australia has scored 330 runs.
16:14There is no such break.
16:16These examples
16:18play well at other places.
16:20What will you say?
16:22If you are playing top cricket,
16:24you will have to become top as well.
16:26At least tell me
16:28that you are making spin wickets
16:30and the results are in your favour.
16:32How many batsmen are
16:34chipping in or giving extraordinary performances?
16:36Except for one,
16:38I don't think
16:40you have seen
16:42many survival batsmen.
16:44If you want to bring Babar to the form,
16:46you will have to make tracks
16:48to spend time on wickets.
16:50Unless you spend time on wickets,
16:52you can't make long runs.
16:54You are very good at spinners.
16:56If you look at fast bowlers,
16:58there are a lot of things
17:00that can be improved.
17:02Thank you very much, Mr. Asim.
17:04We will talk about this in detail later.
17:06That's all for today.
17:08Take care. Allah Hafiz.
