00:00Assalam-o-Alaikum. Hello and welcome to Sports Room. I am your host, Najeeb-ul-Hasnain.
00:07As you know, Pakistan has announced its squad for the Bangladesh Test Series.
00:13Along with that, Shaheen has also been announced. We will talk about that as well.
00:18Sahu Shakeel Shaheen Shah Afridi has been appointed as the Deputy Captain.
00:22Who has succeeded in making a place in the team and who has not?
00:25We have prepared a report on this issue. Come, let's show you that first.
00:29Viewers, you have seen the package. Our Sports Correspondent, Mr. Shahid Hashmi is present in the studio.
00:33Mr. Shahid, Assalam-o-Alaikum. Welcome to the show.
00:35Assalam-o-Alaikum.
00:36Mr. Shahid, looking at this squad, the first question that comes up is, why 17?
00:42When you have a home series, 15 is more than enough.
00:46Outside, there are 13-13.
00:48According to me, it should be 18.
00:50But isn't 17 too much?
00:52You are giving a chance to the players of domestic cricket.
00:56Huraira has come, Kamran Ghulam has come.
00:58They are good things.
00:59And some Australian colours are also visible.
01:01It is obvious that Gillespie will be included as an input.
01:04Damien Hough has come, he is a curator.
01:06Because of this, the pace is loaded.
01:08There are 6 fast bowlers.
01:09There is only one front-line spinner.
01:11Okay, my next question is, is there only one spinner?
01:14Is that enough?
01:15The second spinner is Salman Ali Agha.
01:18We are imagining that Agha Salman will do off-break bowling.
01:21He is a good spinner.
01:22Yes, he is a good spinner.
01:23But it is obvious that you cannot call him a front-line spinner.
01:25True.
01:26Sajid Khan was on the tour of Australia.
01:28Noman was there.
01:29Noman could not even play.
01:30Maybe he went to Australia to get his appendix operated.
01:34So, he is not even that.
01:36So, one front-line spinner is an Australian mentality.
01:39That 4 fast bowlers or 3 fast bowlers and one spinner.
01:42Australian mentality will be used in Australia.
01:45We have brought a curator from Australia to make fast pitches.
01:50Let's see what happens.
01:51It is a good recipe to defeat Bangladesh.
01:53That you will go with fast bowlers.
01:55Because they have been playing left-arm spinners since childhood.
01:57That is true.
01:58There are 200-300 left-arm spinners.
02:00They always have domestic left-arm spinners.
02:02Secondly, it is not such a big challenge.
02:05So, those who are taking this risk, they can take it.
02:07But the missing factor here is, when you dropped Imamul Haq.
02:11Saim Ayub was not lucky that he got the chance.
02:14Saim has played only one test match.
02:16And in one test match, his score was 0 and 33.
02:19So, we cannot drop him in just one test match.
02:21But according to me, you dropped Imam on the basis of just one series.
02:25He is a good player.
02:26His average is 37-38.
02:28Absolutely.
02:29Maybe because Abdullah Shafiq's style is better.
02:32He tries to play fast.
02:34His average is around 44.
02:36But in the last test match, Abdullah Shafiq has a pair in Sydney.
02:400 in both innings.
02:41Absolutely.
02:42He is a good player.
02:43And he has always selected him on the basis of potential.
02:46Instead of selecting him on the basis of performance.
02:48Misbah, Mansoor, everyone has praised him.
02:51Because he has potential.
02:53But he is not showing that bravery and mindset.
02:56He has to develop that.
02:58Because if a player is good, as you can see,
03:00the England team selects Harry Brooks on the basis of potential.
03:04They selected Saqib Bashir and Tom Hartley on the basis of potential.
03:06They showed potential by changing their performance.
03:09We were talking about Saim Ayub.
03:11They selected him on the basis of potential.
03:13In T20 as well.
03:14In T20 as well.
03:15But they were not able to do anything.
03:16Obviously, with Imam.
03:17He was getting established.
03:19Coincidentally, even after the 2019 tour,
03:23he was dropped to Australia.
03:25He came back.
03:26He made century in each innings against Australia in Pindi.
03:28Although the pitch was very straight.
03:31But despite that,
03:32century in each innings is a big achievement.
03:34When you look at this team,
03:37do you feel sorry for Saabzada Farhan?
03:40Saabzada Farhan had a chance.
03:42The team that went to Australia,
03:44Shaheen's team.
03:45In that,
03:46there were two matches.
03:48For one place, there were two matches.
03:50One was Mohd. Huraira.
03:51One was Saabzada Farhan.
03:52Huraira scored a double hundred.
03:54He did a good batting.
03:55He impressed Gillespie.
03:57Saabzada Farhan played one or two good innings.
03:59He scored 50.
04:00He scored a 64 as well.
04:01But that match, Pakistan Shaheen's lost to Bangladesh.
04:03With 4-5 runs.
04:04If they had won there,
04:06maybe the coach would have imagined that
04:08this boy is also good.
04:09I have to adjust him somehow.
04:11Saabzada Farhan has been performing well for 2-3 years.
04:13He is performing well.
04:14But he didn't get a chance.
04:15This is also a problem.
04:16When your two openers,
04:18Abid Ali,
04:19couldn't come back.
04:20Although Abid Ali's performance was good.
04:22He had a heart problem.
04:23He couldn't come back to the team.
04:24Similarly, if Imamul Haq goes back,
04:26Huraira will get a chance.
04:27Or Kamran Ghulam.
04:28Kamran Ghulam is a middle order player.
04:30This means that
04:31in the first test match,
04:32it is likely that
04:33Huraira and Shaheen will open.
04:35So you gave a chance to Huraira.
04:37Similarly, in the middle order,
04:39Saud Shakeel and Agha Salman are solid.
04:41Agha did a very good batting in Australia.
04:43Although he couldn't score a long time,
04:45but he made 50s.
04:46So where will you accommodate Kamran Ghulam?
04:48If you win the first test,
04:51then in the next test match,
04:52you will try 2-3 extra players.
04:54That's why I am saying,
04:55you are confusing yourself too.
04:58Where will you give these boys a chance?
05:00Secondly,
05:01if we are talking about Saabzada Farhan,
05:03he didn't do so well.
05:04He was performing overall.
05:05So why isn't he in Shaheen?
05:07You didn't keep him in that team too.
05:09A lot of players
05:10who are playing in the Pakistan team,
05:12they are also playing in Shaheen.
05:13Yes, he should have kept him in Shaheen.
05:15He has scored regularly
05:17in all three formats
05:19of domestic cricket.
05:21So on the basis of one tour,
05:23if you are not keeping Saabzada Farhan,
05:25this is also unfair to him.
05:27Then we talked about Umar Ameen.
05:29You gave a good example of him.
05:31A player retired after playing 97 test matches.
05:34Bad luck to him.
05:36When he made his debut in 2010,
05:38he was a very promising player.
05:40One day, T20.
05:41He played everything.
05:42But he couldn't cement his place.
05:45Similarly,
05:46there is a player on whom I am very disappointed.
05:48He is Sohaib Maqsood.
05:49He is so talented.
05:50When he came,
05:51people said,
05:52he is just like Inzamam Ul Haq.
05:53Maybe it was because of Multan.
05:54In Multan,
05:55you get Sohan Halwa too.
05:56He is just like Inzamam Ul Haq.
05:57So from the beginning,
05:59he couldn't justify himself.
06:01He also got good chances.
06:03Similarly,
06:04Umar Ameen.
06:05He was a talented player.
06:06At one time,
06:07people were talking about making him the captain.
06:08Yes, people were talking about it.
06:09I remember it very well.
06:10There are 7 wicket keepers in Shaheen's team.
06:13There will be a lot of talk about it.
06:14And there will be more.
06:15What is Haseebullah's fault?
06:17I like Saab.
06:18I like him a lot.
06:19He is my schoolmate too.
06:20I think he has a good future.
06:22But Haseebullah...
06:23He is junior to you.
06:24Yes, a lot.
06:26With many players,
06:27they go on one tour.
06:28Then they drop from the next tour.
06:30The selectors should also see
06:32that they have kept one player on one tour.
06:34So they should give him one more chance.
06:36It is not right to drop him after one tour.
06:39And you have the example of Zach Crawley.
06:42Despite his criticism,
06:44everything happened.
06:45But Brendan McCullum
06:47and his selection committee
06:48gave him a chance.
06:50Tauseef Ahmed has joined us.
06:52Tauseef, we know
06:53what he is thinking about these teams.
06:56Yes, Tauseef.
06:58Yes, Shaheed has said a lot.
07:01Shaheed has said that
07:03it is fine.
07:04But if it was like this,
07:06there are 17, I think.
07:07Yes.
07:08There are 10 players.
07:09It could have been 18.
07:11They could have made one more season.
07:13They could have dropped Saabzada.
07:15Farhan.
07:16So...
07:17The team overall is fine.
07:18They are the same players.
07:19Everything is fine.
07:20But it is fine.
07:21They are changing and seeing
07:22what is there and what is not.
07:23But I think
07:24Farhan should get a chance.
07:28I think he got it there
07:29the way he got it there.
07:30Okay.
07:31And there is a performer here.
07:33If not here,
07:34then they have removed him from Shaheed too.
07:35So, it is not at all...
07:36I think the analyst
07:38has done everything.
07:41And okay.
07:42There is a performer too.
07:43Everything is fine with him.
07:44And...
07:45In my opinion,
07:49it has been handled.
07:50The problems that have happened,
07:52they have been tried to handle.
07:54That is why
07:55two wicket keepers have also come.
07:57And...
07:58Shaheed has also come.
07:59So, these things have been tried.
08:02That...
08:03So many things were happening.
08:05So much was happening.
08:06So, they have tried to handle it.
08:09And it is good.
08:10It is good.
08:11If it is understood,
08:12then it is a very good thing.
08:13Because...
08:14If you look at it from that perspective,
08:15no one was tried to make unhappy.
08:19They have brought everyone inside.
08:21The two you talked about,
08:22they are in their place.
08:23That too...
08:24Yes.
08:25If one or two more problems were matched,
08:26then maybe someone else would also get a chance.
08:28But...
08:29If there are 7 wickets on that side,
08:31then what will Sarfaraz play?
08:34Or what will he do?
08:35We have to see that.
08:36Then,
08:37two wicket keepers are out of my understanding.
08:40On this,
08:41I will also talk to Shaheed bhai.
08:43Tauseef bhai,
08:44stay with us.
08:45Now, a lot of people
08:46have the objection of two wicket keepers.
08:48But,
08:49because of concussion,
08:50you have to immediately
08:51send the other wicket keeper
08:52if there is any problem.
08:53You cannot go to the test match
08:55with two wicket keepers.
08:56So,
08:57this issue of two wicket keepers...
08:58You can call them in the home series.
08:59You can call them.
09:00Do you still think so?
09:01Even with Sarfaraz,
09:02Sarfaraz,
09:03a year ago,
09:04was a player of this series
09:05in the New Zealand series.
09:06So,
09:07you cannot remove him suddenly.
09:08One test match,
09:09his performance was bad in Australia.
09:10After that,
09:11Rizwan came.
09:12Rizwan gave a good performance.
09:13So,
09:14this competition should continue.
09:15It will continue.
09:16But,
09:17the question is actually
09:18about Shaheen.
09:19What is Sarfaraz's role in Shaheen?
09:20If you have kept Saad Baig,
09:21would you have kept any other youngster?
09:22He wants
09:23some players
09:24from his team
09:25to play with the test team
09:26in Shaheen
09:27so that they get
09:28a chance to practice.
09:29So,
09:30I have kept him.
09:31That's why Bangladesh
09:32has kept Mushfiq-ur-Rahim
09:33and Momin-ul-Haq
09:34in their A team
09:35in their Shaheen.
09:36That's why
09:37they will practice
09:38on the Pakistani ground
09:39before the test match.
09:40So,
09:41it's not a bad idea.
09:42But,
09:43obviously,
09:44you gave Bhasibullah a chance.
09:45He went from the tour
09:46and came back.
09:47He came back.
09:48So,
09:49this is a little...
09:50There is no consistency.
09:51Absolutely right.
09:52Tauseef Bhai,
09:53the Pakistani team
09:54and all the other
09:55fast bowlers
09:56will play with Saad Baig.
09:57First,
09:58let me talk about this.
09:59See,
10:00Saad Baig
10:01will be sitting outside
10:02to practice.
10:03Saad Baig
10:04will be sitting outside.
10:05So,
10:06I think
10:07if they play,
10:08it will be bad.
10:09But,
10:10as far as it is concerned,
10:11it has been managed here.
10:12And,
10:13Rizwan
10:14didn't play.
10:15Sarfaz
10:16did play for a few days.
10:17But,
10:18Sarfaz was the first choice.
10:19And,
10:20that's cricket match.
10:21So,
10:22it has been taken care of
10:23there as well.
10:24That,
10:25if something was happening,
10:26they should take Saad.
10:27So,
10:28after two wickets,
10:29you can call him anytime.
10:30It's not necessary.
10:31It's happening in Pakistan.
10:32You went to England,
10:33you went to Australia,
10:34you went there.
10:35You worked
10:36with every receiver.
10:37So,
10:38I think,
10:39I think,
10:40they have tried to manage it.
10:41And,
10:42it's good.
10:43Let's go.
10:44If they manage it like this,
10:45it's good.
10:46If everything
10:47gets better,
10:48it's a very good thing.
10:49But,
10:50the way you talked about
10:51the spinners,
10:52yes.
10:53Earlier,
10:54it came later
10:55when Bangladesh
10:56trapped him
10:57in fast bowling.
10:58And,
10:59you put
11:00six fast bowlers
11:01even now.
11:02Yes.
11:03So,
11:04the aim was to remove
11:05the spinners.
11:06So,
11:07the two men
11:08who were removed,
11:09Noman's performance
11:10was good.
11:11Yes.
11:12Not alone
11:13in Australia.
11:14Whatever happened,
11:15his performance was good.
11:16But,
11:17the stories
11:18of age factor
11:19were different.
11:20Yes.
11:21So,
11:22in Shaheen,
11:23you mentioned
11:24that
11:25you were worried
11:26about it.
11:27Yes.
11:28Umar Ameen,
11:29which pressure
11:30did you take?
11:31I mean,
11:32I don't understand
11:33what pressure
11:34did you take.
11:35Anyway,
11:36they managed it.
11:37But,
11:38the team,
11:39I think,
11:40it's not a bad team.
11:41It's not a bad team.
11:42It's a good team.
11:43They took the spinners.
11:44That's why
11:45they took the spinners
11:46to work with fast bowlers.
11:47One young
11:48wicketkeeper,
11:49I think,
11:50if you give
11:51a positive
11:52justification,
11:53he is a part
11:54of the atmosphere
11:55of Shaheen's
11:56or Pakistan's
11:57test team.
11:58I remember
11:59Damien Martin
12:00very well.
12:01The Australian team
12:02took Damien Martin
12:03for three years
12:04and didn't let him play.
12:05In the same way,
12:06they kept Ricky Ponting
12:07in the beginning
12:08to give a test team
12:09and an international
12:10atmosphere.
12:11Okay.
12:12Thank you very much
12:13Tauseef Bhai.
12:14Tauseef Bhai was with us
12:15and shared his opinion.
12:16Before going to the break,
12:17when this team
12:18was announced,
12:19we came to know
12:20that there was
12:21no surgery.
12:22There was nothing
12:23like that.
12:24There was talk
12:25that a disciplinary
12:26committee will be formed
12:27and that will decide.
12:28We used to laugh
12:29at Shaheen's
12:30social media
12:31that there will be
12:32a year's ban.
12:33I don't know
12:34what will happen.
12:35Everything happened.
12:36I think
12:37if we had reached
12:38the World Cup
12:39semi-final,
12:40it wouldn't have been
12:41such a good scene
12:42that everything
12:43has been suppressed
12:44and we are moving
12:45forward.
12:46I think
12:47we should
12:48go with
12:49Matipao.
12:50Matipao was
12:51bad in the
12:52World Cup
12:53but in the
12:54whole world,
12:55you will
12:56defame it
12:57and ban
12:58it and
12:59sack it
13:00and do
13:01this and
13:02that.
13:03You should
13:04go with
13:05it positively.
13:06Your performance
13:07was bad.
13:08You lost
13:09two matches
13:10but you
13:11could have
13:12won both.
13:13If you
13:14could have
13:15won both
13:16the World
13:17Cup
13:18and
13:19the
13:20World
13:21Cup,
13:22you
13:23could have
13:24won both
13:25the World
13:26Cup
13:27and
13:28the
13:29World
13:30Cup.
13:31You
13:32could have
13:33won both
13:34the World
13:35Cup
13:36and
13:37the
13:38World
13:39Cup.
13:40You
13:41could have
13:42won both
13:43the World
13:44Cup
13:45and
13:46the
13:47World
13:48Cup.
13:49You
13:50could have
13:51won both
13:52the World
13:53Cup
13:54and
13:55the
13:56World
13:57Cup.
