00:00Mr. Basit, you said in the last few days that Babar should step down.
00:06But do you think it was a non-starter to accept him as the captain?
00:10Especially when he was removed and brought back to Shaheen.
00:14When he was offered, he should have called Shaheen.
00:20Because he was removing Shaheen.
00:21And this group was a very strong group.
00:25The conflict started from there.
00:27Which group was strong? Shaheen's group?
00:29All three, Babar, Rizwan and...
00:31In one category, Shaheen, Babar and Rizwan.
00:35Right.
00:36So, Babar should have called Shaheen.
00:38He should have said, you were the captain and he offered me.
00:41Yes.
00:42What would he have said?
00:43If he would have said, okay, you can accept him.
00:46Then he should have done it.
00:46If he would have refused, then Babar should not have accepted him as a friend.
00:50Okay.
00:51Shahid Khan Afridi is also talking about this.
00:55We heard a statement from Afridi before this.
00:57We were at an event where we asked Afridi.
00:59He said, either Babar should not have been removed from the captaincy.
01:05Shaheen should not have been made the captain.
01:07Or if he was made, then he should not have been removed.
01:09He should have continued.
01:11What is he saying in all this?
01:12Shahid Khan Afridi.
01:13And of course, he has a connection with Shaheen Afridi.
01:15There is no secret.
01:16What is he saying? Shahid Afridi, show us.
01:18I think, the captaincy he took again...
01:22The captaincy he took again was a wrong decision by the selection committee.
01:29And Babar's decision to take the captaincy again was also wrong.
01:32Okay, if you had said that he will remain the captain till the World Cup.
01:36Then I think Babar should have supported Shaheen there.
01:41That no, if you have made him the captain, then we are ready to play in his captaincy.
01:46Because Shaheen has been playing with me for a long time.
01:49So, if he has made him the captain today, the selection committee has made him.
01:54Okay, I will support Shaheen and I would like to play in his captaincy.
01:58Babar should have taken this stance.
02:00Babar's respect would have increased a lot from here.
02:02Babar is such a great player.
02:04He took such a great decision.
02:06And that boy set an example.
02:10He also says that he was not taking Babar as a responsible player.
02:13But still, Babar should have done this.
02:14Do you agree with this?
02:15I agree 100%.
02:16Okay.
02:17Babar should have taken the captaincy.
02:19First, his relationship with the team and the team's environment should have been ruined.
02:23You, Basit Bhai, just now said...
02:25Do you remember, in your program, the 2022 World Cup was coming from Zimbabwe.
02:30What did I say in Al-Ahmad Dhaar?
02:32If Babar wanted to play long runs and release pressure, he should have left the captaincy.
02:36Immediately after the World Cup.
02:39If he had left it, then maybe...
02:41He was not supposed to be the captain.
02:43He was supposed to be the captain after 2-3 years.
02:46He was supposed to benefit from it.
02:47Pakistan was supposed to benefit from it.
02:49But I think no one wants to leave a captaincy seat.
02:54Keeping Pakistan, the team, cricket and the boys in front of you,
02:59I don't think Nasha likes to give such a responsibility to anyone else.
03:04But I think if he hadn't taken the captaincy,
03:09his name, reputation and respect would have increased a lot.
03:12I want to add something.
03:13He won't be the captain now.
03:15Babar.
03:16I told you, after 8 months, he will be the captain again.
03:18He won't be the captain again.
03:20If he had left it, he would have been the captain again.
03:23I'll come to Shahid Bhai.
03:24Najeeb Bhai, being devil's advocate,
03:26if I am Babar Azam,
03:28there is no secret in this.
03:30Why would anyone not want to be the captain of the team?
03:33And I didn't make anyone fall on the gunpoint and present my name.
03:37One management removed me and I went home.
03:39The same management, the same PCB, the same faces.
03:42They are offering me the same.
03:43So what did I do wrong in accepting it?
03:45Being devil's advocate, what do you have to say about this?
03:47First of all, the word here is compromise.
03:50When you compromise for your own benefits,
03:54the team struggles.
03:55How did Babar compromise by accepting the captaincy?
03:57He compromised in such a way that you agreed to a lot of things.
04:00When you were offered the captaincy,
04:02along with that, a lot of things came up.
04:03This player will play, this player will play.
04:05You had to stay quiet in that.
04:06You had to surrender.
04:09That's not possible.
04:10The people who were talking to you on TV six months ago,
04:13they came to the team and the atmosphere was good.
04:16This is not possible.
04:17So Babar had to surrender on the request of the board.
04:21Because he took the captaincy.
04:22The panel is saying that if Babar...
04:24I agree 100% with Shahid Khan Afridi.
04:28Yes.
04:28If Babar didn't accept the captaincy this time,
04:32the team's reputation would have increased.
04:33Before, we used to lose.
04:36The team used to be on the same page.
04:38Now, you have to deal with the groupings again.
04:40Now, it's divided into parts.
04:42And then you see...
04:43Are you facing the groupings for the first time?
04:45No, it happens a lot of times.
04:46But that's the thing.
04:47Earlier, it didn't happen in this team.
04:49Earlier, it was said that...
04:51This time, it's more open.
04:52Yes, this time it's more open.
04:53Earlier, it was said that they are all on the same page.
04:56Now, it's an open secret.
04:57Now, it's an open secret that your conflicts are coming up.
05:02So, you...
05:03According to me, you shouldn't have taken the captaincy.
05:06And you should have focused on your runs.
05:08Because let's be very clear.
05:10He is not a good captain.
