00:00 Kamran, there was a news that our two main T20 players Babur Azam and Mohammad Rizwan are being given rest.
00:08 But you yourself are an advocate that when you have to feed new players, you don't make much changes at once.
00:16 And second, this is New Zealand, not an ordinary team. So was there any such thing going on?
00:21 Wouldn't it be a big problem if they were given rest?
00:25 First of all, let me tell you that neither the selection committee nor the team management thought about it.
00:33 And there was no such thing that you should give rest to these two best players.
00:38 We said that they are our best players, it was an automatic choice.
00:42 They will have to be given security and we will give them a chance to play with the junior players.
00:48 So the players will get confidence, they will be ready to back up. Where necessary, you must give them rest.
00:56 Because without them, our team or any big event, ICC, cannot be complete without them.
01:02 Like Shadab is for us, Babur is also a big player, a match winner, leading the team, leading the batting.
01:10 Razwan is in the top 10, in the ICC rating. So I think we cannot ignore these things.
01:18 And we will definitely do this, where necessary, team management or us,
01:24 against the junior team, we will give them proper rest and give confidence to the rest of the boys.
01:30 Everyone is happy that the domestic performers have got a chance.
01:35 But when it comes to making a combination, you have made it very difficult for team management.
01:40 There are 5 openers, 3 wicket keepers, how will the team combination be made?
01:45 Yes, absolutely, Najeeb. And I will say this again, whether we are there or not,
01:52 domestic cricket will have to be valued.
01:55 It should be selected with its performance.
01:58 The performance of PSL should not be based on performance, which we have seen for 6-7 years.
02:02 Pakistan's cricket has gone down because we have reduced the value of domestic cricket.
02:09 And that's why you see that every boy wants to play PSL.
02:12 And domestic cricket, which is 4-day cricket, 1-day cricket, they don't want to play with so much enthusiasm.
02:19 Everyone's attention is on PSL.
02:21 So that's why this selection has been made.
02:23 Then I will say, as far as the 5 openers are concerned, see, now the team is in management.
02:27 How to rotate them, how to manage the workload, Babur Rizwan is our automatic choice.
02:33 Without him, the team cannot be complete.
02:35 Any big event comes, it is an automatic choice.
02:38 Security is on our side.
02:40 But now the team is in management, how to feed Saim, Babur, Rizwan, they can tell.
02:48 But our job, for which we have come, we have come to make our backup players.
02:56 Now I want absolute honesty from you.
02:59 As a former player who has represented Pakistan a lot, do you think this team has the ability to defeat New Zealand in New Zealand?
03:08 Yes, absolutely.
03:10 And you see that everything is in this team.
03:13 And this team has always given a good performance in Pakistan in T20.
03:17 And you must have seen before the World Cup that there was a three-nation tournament.
03:22 Pakistan won, won from New Zealand.
03:24 His whole team was there.
03:26 So this team has bowling, batting, spin.
03:29 You see that bowling is a good combination.
03:32 Batting is also complete.
03:35 Azam Khan has a great performance.
03:37 Let's see in the form that he will get a chance.
03:40 He should play with the same intent, with the same approach.
03:44 And then see how great the openers are with you.
03:47 Whoever will play with Babur, whoever will play with Rizwan, Saim Ayub, Saibzada Farhan.
03:53 This team has the ability.
03:55 And aggressive, positive cricket and good plan is won.
03:59 In such a tough condition, against big teams, no doubt New Zealand is a very good team.
04:04 They perform very well in their condition.
04:06 But the Pakistan team has also won the T20 series there.
04:09 And the three-nation tournament was held before the World Cup.
04:12 He also won.
04:13 So this confidence is with the Pakistan team.
