00:00 Pakistan's quality is that if there is a lowly ranked team, like the Minnows,
00:05 they will play at their level.
00:06 And if it's England, they will play at England's level.
00:08 So are you hopeful that England will play at England's level?
00:10 Of course, it will happen because Pakistan's team is a pusher.
00:13 They got pushed and got shocked in Ireland.
00:16 The shock that the battery needed to get, Ireland gave it to them.
00:20 Pakistan played well in the next two matches.
00:22 They played fully charged, with the battery, chased both.
00:25 Fakhar played, Babar played, Rizwan played, everyone played.
00:28 Saim didn't play.
00:30 So I think in England's series, they will try Saim and Usman.
00:34 And different combinations.
00:36 You still have four matches.
00:37 You can see what your final combination is.
00:40 First, it should have happened that everything should have happened 5-6 months ago.
00:44 But maybe you give a little space to Pakistan team management.
00:48 The board has also changed.
00:49 Then last year, our whole England team was playing 50 overs at the World Cup.
00:54 We kept playing 50 overs.
00:55 We still played the series.
00:58 This is England's first T20 international match this year.
01:01 Absolutely right.
01:02 And it's completely different.
01:03 It's true that all the players were playing IPL, so they got practice.
01:06 But as a team, as a unit, it's very important for you to play.
01:10 As a team, you need a different environment, different vibes, different practice.
01:14 England will get that.
01:15 Today's match seems like it will rain.
01:18 So in Leeds, in May, keeping T20 in that.
01:22 If this series had started in London and then went to Leeds,
01:27 at the end of May, there would have been a little space.
01:30 But in mid-May, in the third week of May, it rains in Leeds.
01:34 Absolutely right.
01:35 Okay, no one has a second opinion that Pakistan team is capable.
01:39 They play at the same level.
01:40 But there are some problems in form, some runs are not getting made.
01:44 No, but we got that start.
01:46 In one match, we got chased from Ireland.
01:50 We couldn't defend.
01:51 Then we gave them 193 runs, I mean runs in which
01:56 162 runs were given by fast bowlers, top 2 bowlers gave 93 runs.
02:01 So we have achieved everything.
02:03 Now we got that rustiness, that push start.
02:07 Now Pakistan team will perform well.
02:09 Because they know that after 4 matches, the World Cup will start.
02:13 Absolutely right.
02:14 Now tell me, the scores have been announced all over the world.
02:16 Pakistan is left.
02:17 And we know what will happen, but it has not been announced yet.
02:20 They thought that in today's match, they will test 15 players.
02:26 And somehow after today's match, they will announce it tomorrow.
02:29 But if it rains today, then tomorrow's match, then 25th match,
02:33 or 25th match, they won't give a guarantee to ICC.
02:36 No, there are 2-4 players who we have to check.
02:40 By putting some current runs.
02:42 So we will give you the team on 26th after 25th.
02:44 Although Pakistan has given the team.
02:46 But there will be some changes in it.
02:50 If 25th match is left, then there will be an email to ICC.
02:53 ICC will allow it, but it is not written on stone that you will do it on 25th.
02:56 We will give it to any team for a couple of days.
02:58 I think there is an example of this in the past.
03:00 Okay, if we talk about Hassan Ali, he has left the squad.
03:04 And he will fulfill his county commitment.
03:07 So people were very surprised at Hassan Ali's first entry.
03:11 There was a lot of criticism.
03:13 And the selection committee and team management,
03:16 whoever was involved, Babar was also involved.
03:18 With such decisions, you get criticism, you get favoritism.
03:22 You are saying that since Hassan Ali was in England,
03:26 we called him from there.
03:28 If you had taken someone,
03:30 at least he would have had an experience of Ireland and England.
03:34 Hassan Ali is a very good bowler in this selection.
03:37 He took 14 wickets for Karachi Kings in PSL.
03:40 But there was a lot of criticism in this selection.
03:42 And secondly, if you had done this in the New Zealand series after PSL,
03:47 maybe there wouldn't have been so much talk.
03:49 Yes, if you had called him in the New Zealand series and fed him,
03:52 you would have known how much water he was in.
03:54 And you would have an idea whether he was suitable for England or Ireland.
04:00 Or if we need a backup in the World Cup,
04:02 whether he is suitable or not.
04:04 But you didn't call him in New Zealand,
04:06 you called him directly to Ireland.
04:08 And you played only one match and then he left.
