00:00Rahul, this World Cup has given only pain to the Pakistani fans.
00:04When we talk about the need for a lot of changes,
00:09the planning is short-term and long-term.
00:12According to you, what should we do in the future?
00:15As you have asked, the Pakistani fans are very disappointed.
00:24Similarly, for the cricketers, the World Cup has been a nightmare.
00:30We couldn't even imagine that Pakistan's short-format team
00:35has been able to perform very well.
00:41I think this decline is not only due to the lack of selection.
00:45The overall structure is suffering.
00:48It needs to be overhauled.
00:51You have talked about the past, present and future.
00:55We haven't learned anything from the past.
00:59We are still playing on a one-man show.
01:01What work have we done in the present?
01:03Was our selection worthy of participating in the World Cup?
01:07Did we bypass the selection criteria?
01:12Did we run the management, coaching staff and the entire system?
01:16Does a strong cricket board work like this?
01:20We haven't learned anything from the past.
01:23We don't want to do anything in the present or in the future.
01:26This is the biggest nightmare for Pakistan's cricket.
01:29Until we don't plan for the long-term,
01:32it will be very difficult for the system to move forward.
01:36India won the World Cup.
01:38We always say that their system is very strong.
01:41They don't have player power.
01:43Friendship doesn't work there.
01:46This is one reason.
01:48What do you think is the reason for the failure of Pakistan?
01:51India won the World Cup with their performance.
01:54They were unbeaten in this tournament.
01:57They defeated every team.
01:59Their captains and bowlers controlled their nerves against Pakistan.
02:0349 runs on 49 balls.
02:06Pakistan had 7 victims.
02:08Despite this, their captain Rohit Sharma played with outstanding strategy.
02:13His bowlers responded.
02:15What are our bowlers doing?
02:17If we have 18 runs, we can't save them.
02:19If there is a Super Bowl, we lose 19 runs.
02:21If there is a point in the semi-final, Shaheen Afridi loses 20 runs.
02:25In the World Cup, we lost 18 runs to Haris Rauf Kohli.
02:28This is happening again and again.
02:30This means that we are not out of form.
02:33We are failing on a consistent basis.
02:35The selection of the Indian Cricket Board for the World Cup was perfect.
02:40The top players bypassed the first-class cricketers.
02:46They broke their central contracts.
02:48They removed them from the team.
02:50The new players were selected by the team.
02:54Strong cricket boards take such decisions.
02:57They don't take a retired cricketer back.
03:00They don't take a UAE qualifier back.
03:04They don't take an unfit cricketer back.
03:08They don't take an out-of-form cricketer back.
03:11There is no such system in the world.
03:14If we want to move forward and compete with a big team,
03:17we will have to look into our own graves.
03:20We will have to hand over the system to the educated and visionary people.
03:26Rauf, we are talking about change.
03:29This is nothing new.
03:30Whenever the Pakistan team loses a big event,
03:32we go into the rebuilding phase.
03:35We start talking about change.
03:37Where do you think we should start from?
03:41Do you have any suggestions?
03:43What will you do about the changes in the team?
03:47You have left nothing for the Pakistani nation.
03:50You have ruined the entire system.
03:54You don't have a replacement.
03:56The people who have been with the Pakistan team for the last 8-10 years,
03:59they should be asked where the replacement is.
04:02If you talk about cricket legacy,
04:04you should learn it from Mohd. Nabi.
04:06He qualified the Pakistan team for the top events of the ICC.
04:14He didn't just qualify,
04:16he defeated a lot of teams in the last World Cup.
04:19He qualified for the semifinals of this World Cup.
04:21This is the legacy of cricket.
04:23Our seniors are leaving the legacy.
04:25We don't have a replacement, a bowler, a batsman,
04:29we don't have any auditors,
04:31we don't have a plan for the T20 format,
04:33we don't have a bowler, we don't have a test.
04:35We have made a superhero.
04:37This won't work like this.
04:39This is the legacy of cricket.
04:41Rauf, there are talks of changing the coach and the captain.
04:45But this is a routine in our system.
04:49I would like to know that Rahul Dravid
04:52was systematically brought from the bottom to the top for coaching.
04:56He won the World Cup.
04:58Why are foreign coaches after him?
05:00You have talked about the coach and the captain.
05:04Let me say this again.
05:08You made Mickey Arthur the coach.
05:10You had no vision.
05:12You knew that he would sit in London and coach.
05:17The Pakistan team played here.
05:19For the first time in the history of the world,
05:21online coaching was introduced in cricket.
05:23Then the Asia Cup started.
05:24We joined the team three days ago.
05:27Then he went to the World Cup.
05:29We put him back in the academy.
05:31We did our own loss.
05:33We had to pay the entire staff.
05:35We had to pay their salaries.
05:37We should remember one thing.
05:40We spend a lot of money on foreign coaches.
05:44You should live in your home.
05:47You should spread your wings.
05:49Where is your club cricket going?
05:51You don't have money for food.
05:53You don't have money to travel.
05:54You don't have money to buy shoes.
05:56You have to play a match.
05:58You don't have money for ground booking.
06:00You have to travel on a wagon.
06:02You don't have money for that.
06:04You are wasting crores of rupees on them.
06:06You can't play in the right format.
06:08You have lost 4-5 times.
06:10You have spent crores of rupees on them.
06:12Your genuine players are suffering.
06:14Foreign coaches call you from outside.
06:16The result is 0-0.
06:18Your own coaches are not worth it.
06:21The people who have been running your system for 20 years
06:24have created such a mess here
06:26that your entire system has been destroyed.
06:28All your friends have prayed for you.
06:30Not a single coach is worthy of coaching at the international level.
