00:00Assalam-o-Alaikum. Hello and welcome to Sports Room. I am your host, Najeeb-ul-Asnain.
00:20The test match between Pakistan and Bangladesh is going on in Pindi. Due to rain, the match will be played in 48 overs, which seems to be very difficult.
00:31Bangladesh won the toss and decided to field. In the beginning, Pakistan faced a lot of difficulties.
00:38After that, Sau Shakeel and Saim Ayub are present on the wicket and are showing a lot of resistance.
00:44Our Sports Correspondent, Shahid Hashmi, will be with us in the program. He will be live from Pindi via DSNG.
00:51Tauseef Ahmed will also join us. Shahid, I will come to you.
00:55First of all, tell us, the start was not good. First of all, due to rain, a lot of time was wasted.
01:02As soon as the match started, we were worried that the aggressive mindset and winning mentality would disappear after today.
01:13It happens, but you took a bold decision. You announced your team two days ago.
01:20Your strength is that you are a fast bowler. You don't have a spinner of this quality.
01:24You can out Bangladesh on a fast bowler than a spinner.
01:27Pakistan made a wise move. It is important to praise it.
01:32Pakistan lost the toss in the beginning.
01:36If we had won the toss, we would have bowled earlier.
01:41It meant that Pakistan wanted to take advantage of the green top wicket.
01:44Pakistan did not take advantage of it in batting.
01:47We are tired of saying that Abdullah Shafiq is a very talented player.
01:52Misbah-ul-Haq, Mansoor Ranan, Waqar Yunus, and Mickey Arthur all backed him.
01:59He is a very talented player, but he is not able to deliver.
02:03Although he has an average of 44, he did a double hundred a year ago.
02:08But he is getting out like this.
02:10In Australia, the last test he played, there was a pair.
02:12Even today, he is very bad. He got out while hitting a wild shot.
02:16Shahan Masood is a little unlucky.
02:19It looks like he is not able to see the pad.
02:24The umpire in front of him is called Don Bredman of the umpires.
02:29He usually does not make a mistake.
02:31But we are all puppets of mistakes.
02:34In fact, we are big puppets.
02:36Martin Guff can also make a mistake.
02:42In the commentary of Crick Info, a few people said that they made a hasty decision.
02:47They should have watched the replay more.
02:49Shahan usually does not get angry like this.
02:53He argued a lot with the on-field umpires.
02:57At the end, the umpires told him to go.
03:00We want to continue the game.
03:02I have never seen such an approach of Shahan.
03:06He was very hurt.
03:08He looked very irritated.
03:09He showed the replay to the umpire.
03:11The umpire was very frustrated.
03:16Mr. Shahid, you said that we are tired.
03:19You said that Abdullah Shafiq has a lot of talent.
03:22I think we are talking about all the players of Pakistan.
03:27We are talking about the talent.
03:29We do not see the performance.
03:32My question is about Babar Azam.
03:39What has happened?
03:40He has not been seen in the test for the past two years.
03:43Usman Samyuddin wrote a very good article on Crick Info.
03:48It seems that Babar Azam read it.
03:51He wanted to prove that he can come in the form.
03:55Babar Azam has not been seen since the T20 World Cup.
04:01He was invisible.
04:02He did not give a press conference.
04:05He did not tell us why he lost the T20 World Cup.
04:08He was away from cricket.
04:11That is why this happened.
04:12The way he is getting out on the balls coming in.
04:15That is a moment.
04:16He played 14 test matches at home.
04:19This is his first zero.
04:21This is a big thing.
04:24People expect Babar Azam to score a good 50 or 100.
04:28He has not scored a 50 in a long time.
04:31Initially, he seems to be in a panic.
04:38He seems a little nervous.
04:40He is so talented.
04:41He is one of the best players in the world.
04:43He should not show nervousness.
04:45Usually, when a batsman comes on the pitch, he is nervous.
04:51You do not expect this from a player like Babar Azam.
04:55Shahid, you were talking about what Shahan Masood said.
04:58Let us show you that too.
05:21Tauseef Ahmed has joined us.
05:46Tauseef, you were talking about what Shahan Masood said.
05:51He said that if he had won the toss, he would have fielded.
05:53Obviously, the way he has prepared the pitch.
05:55He could have taken an advantage.
05:57Which Bangladesh took in the beginning.
06:00Shahan said that the rest of the test matches are at home.
06:04We have to take advantage of that.
06:06Here, we are getting stuck with Bangladesh.
06:10Like we were stuck in the beginning.
06:11When England comes, they will dominate us.
06:15What do you think?
06:16You are absolutely right, Najeeb.
06:19It is our home advantage.
06:23The plan that Gillespie has made.
06:28All of them have made it.
06:30All they had in mind was that we have to make a pitch at home.
06:35We did not even put in a regular spinner.
06:40They have 2-3 spinners with them.
06:45So, looking at the weather and all that,
06:49you have made the plan at your place.
06:51I think 4 pitchers were not made yet.
06:54This test match will be on and off.
06:59If Pakistan was here, they would have made it 6-7 today.
07:04The toss is at its place.
07:06We will have to see.
07:09What Shahan has said,
07:13and what you have pointed out,
07:16whether we will do something against England or West Indies,
07:21there is moisture on them.
07:23Their bowling is not that good.
07:26If you look at the outs,
07:28Shahan's was doubtful.
07:34We did not see their pace bowling.
07:39They took the wickets.
07:41The team was at its place.
07:43If there was someone else in the team,
07:46they would not have given so much time.
07:48They would have made it 6-7.
07:51You are right.
07:53You agree that Bangladesh's bowling is not that good.
07:57If they had taken advantage of this pitch,
08:00many of us would have been out.
08:02You are taking the home series very easily.
08:08You are not thinking of facing the best bowlers.
08:12I think Bangladesh has made a mistake.
08:17They have played two fast bowlers who have played only one test.
08:21Ahsan has played only one test.
08:23Nahid Rana is new.
08:25Khalid Ahmed has taken 28 wickets in 14 tests.
08:29He has experience.
08:31He knows that they have played two fast bowlers who have played only one test.
08:36I don't know if I am wrong or not,
08:41but both teams have played one spinner less.
08:45Pakistan has not played a front line spinner.
08:48Muhammad Ali or Khurram Shehzad,
08:50one of them should have played and kept one spinner.
08:53Similarly, Bangladesh should have played Taijul Islam with two fast bowlers.
08:58He is a wicket-taking bowler.
09:00He has played 195 wickets.
09:02Pakistan has a known frailty and weakness
09:04that they give more wickets to left-arm spinners.
09:06They give more wickets to home spinners.
09:08So, don't feed Taijul Islam and don't feed Abraar.
09:11Like Shahan said, if cracks can fall,
09:14it shouldn't be costly for any team.
09:16So, Pakistan will have to score long in the first innings
09:19so that there is no pressure in the third innings.
09:22Tauseef Bhai, we were just talking.
09:24Shahid Bhai was answering.
09:26Saim Ayyub has been out.
09:28He has scored 56.
09:30Hassan Mahmood has outed him.
09:32Mehdi Hassan has taken the catch.
09:34This is not a good news
09:36because Saim was the one who was scoring the major.
09:40You are right. I am travelling.
09:42I am going home.
09:44You gave me the information from the car.
09:47I think, if we look at the position we were in,
09:52both the youngsters have outed us to a great extent.
09:56But, in the upcoming batsmen,
09:59we have a good batting.
10:02So, I think, they will have to bat
10:06at least 250-300.
10:08Even if they bat 250+,
10:11it is not that difficult.
10:14But, one or two things that Shahid Bhai has done
10:17are absolutely right.
10:19Look, they didn't use their spinners properly.
10:22They must have made their own strategy.
10:25Or, the pacer we are talking about,
10:27he didn't use his strategy in his place.
10:29But, here,
10:32if the sun shines,
10:36it will be a good pitch.
10:39We have to get a good pitch.
10:41Yes.
10:42The spinners, the left-arm spinners,
10:44who always put us in trouble,
10:46they should not put us in trouble.
10:49But, I think, if you run so much,
10:52it won't be so difficult for you.
10:56Okay. Thank you very much, Tauseef Bhai.
10:58Shahid will be with us.
11:00We will return after the break.
11:02We will talk about how India wants to control international cricket
11:05on the other side of this break.
11:07Stay with us.
11:13Glad to have you back once again to Sportsroom.
11:15India's plan to take over international cricket.
11:18Mr. Khalid Mehmood has joined us.
11:20Former chairman of PCB.
11:21Mr. Khalid, Assalam-o-Alaikum.
11:22Welcome to the show.
11:25Assalam-o-Alaikum.
11:26Assalam.
11:27Mr. Khalid, first of all,
11:28this situation is going back to the Big Three.
11:32India wants to take control of international cricket.
11:36For this,
11:37it has got the support of Australia and England.
11:40Once again, the situation is stopping there.
11:44This is a very important news.
11:47But it is not a sensational news.
11:50It is not a sensational news because
11:52India has been under the control of the ICC for a long time.
11:56And you will know that
11:59whatever they distribute about the issues,
12:03about 40% of it goes to India.
12:08And their argument is that
12:10money is generated from here.
12:13There is a lot of corporate support for cricket in India.
12:16That's why they get more rights.
12:18And unfortunately,
12:20the other members,
12:22especially the important members,
12:24England and Australia,
12:26they also get along with them.
12:28Because in this chaos,
12:30they get better support than other countries.
12:34Now it is left to take over.
12:37We have been hearing about this for a long time.
12:41But I think that
12:43Australia and England will not agree to this easily.
12:47But the Australian Akhbar Sheikhs,
12:50as you have said,
12:52I feel that they are all ready.
12:55They must have been given a lollipop
12:58that you will also get a share from this.
13:01So they are taking over.
13:03And suppose,
13:04even if there is no Indian member in the ICC,
13:07on any important issue,
13:09then the matter is heard by them.
13:11It is believed by them.
13:13Everything is done by them.
13:15So it won't make much difference practically.
13:19Because whatever they want,
13:21like you mentioned about Big Three,
13:24at that time,
13:25there was probably no Indian member in the ICC.
13:28But they got their formula made.
13:31And the distribution of money is also being done accordingly.
13:35So if they want to come into this practically,
13:38then what can be done?
13:40Mr. Khalid Mehmood,
13:41the 3 billion dollars that the ICC is going to get from the broadcaster,
13:45which were the legal rights,
13:47if they are talking about halving it,
13:50then the 34 million that Pakistan used to get,
13:53will that also make a difference?
13:55The small votes will go into more trouble.
13:58Yes, absolutely.
13:59The reality is that there is no solution for the small countries.
14:03They are leaving these 3 countries,
14:06Australia, England, and the rest.
14:09These 3 are making decisions together.
14:13All 3 of them are very strict on their share.
14:19And the rest of the small countries,
14:21it doesn't matter to anyone what they get.
14:24This is a very long process, I think.
14:27Even now, if the small countries think about it,
14:30because the votes are equal for everyone,
14:32if the small countries think about it,
14:34they should all come together.
14:36And there are no such small countries.
14:38Pakistan is not a small country.
14:40South Africa is not a small country.
14:42New Zealand is a small country,
14:44but it is a very old member of the ICC.
14:48It is a member before Pakistan.
14:50So if these people cannot agree for their rights,
14:54cannot unite, cannot come together,
14:56then the same thing will happen to them
14:58as the Australian news is saying.
15:01Okay, thank you very much, Khalid Mehmood,
15:03for sharing your opinion.
15:05Let's go back to Shahid Hashmi.
15:07Shahid, this is a matter of great concern.
15:10Jai Shah wants full control.
15:13And after that, we talked about the financial issue.
15:16What other problems will arise?
15:18Is it a matter of danger for Pakistan?
15:22Absolutely, it is a matter of danger.
15:24It is a matter of danger for all the small countries.
15:27Khalid Mehmood was absolutely right
15:29that there was control from the beginning.
15:31He wants to increase his control further.
15:33And Jai Shah, if you become the chairman of the ICC,
15:36he will get the support of Australia and England.
15:39And on 27th August, the boards will have to give their nominees
15:42that they will fight for the chairman.
15:44It seems that Jai Shah will be elected without any competition.
15:47And after that, his first action,
15:49the first step out of two or three actions,
15:51will be that he will take the chairmanship of the ICC to India.
15:54Because India has raised objections many times,
15:57through my sources,
15:59that the operational cost of the ICC in Dubai
16:02is approximately $45,000 per month.
16:05And all the money of the ICC,
16:0780% of the money goes to India.
16:09His second step will be
16:11to make the top tier of four teams.
16:13He will play more test cricket.
16:15Imagine that this is already happening.
16:17After 2019,
16:19if in any test series,
16:21Australia, England and India are not involved,
16:23then it is only of two test matches.
16:25If Australia, England and India are involved,
16:27then it is of more than two tests.
16:29Now, Sri Lanka has got three tests,
16:31after five or six years.
16:33So, the second tier of test cricket is already going on.
16:36So, we will have to order our house in that.
16:39We will have to improve our team.
16:41We are going very far in the test.
16:43We have to bring our team's performance in the top three in the test.
16:46If we lose in the first round of T20 World Cup,
16:48if we lose like this,
16:50then no one will give us a lift.
16:52You are absolutely right.
16:54Australia and England will support India
16:56because their TV rights are already very good.
16:59Australia's TV rights are worth 1.5 billion dollars for four or five years.
17:05England's TV rights are worth 1.52 billion pounds.
17:09We are having a lot of problems in selling our television rights.
17:14The market is also slow.
17:17If our team's performance is not good,
17:19then we will not get money for our television rights.
17:22If the amount of 34 million dollars is half,
17:26then we will have to struggle more.
17:28Mr. Shahid Hashmi was with us.
17:30It was a big development and big news today.
17:32We will continue to include the updates in the program.
17:35Our representative, Shehzad Malik, has joined us now.
17:39There are great competitions going on in Mixed Martial Arts.
17:42Shehzad will update you.
17:44Yes, the semi-final stage is still going on.
17:48The final line-up will take place by evening.
17:51Pakistani fighters performed very well today.
17:55One or two fighters had to face defeat,
17:58but the rest of the fighters were successful.
18:01The biggest success was in Bano Butt,
18:04who was in the junior category.
18:06He defeated an Indian fighter in the senior category in the third round.
18:11This is a very happy thing.
18:13Bano Butt also expressed his happiness.
18:16His coach told him that if he fights in the senior category,
18:19it will be better.
18:21So he fought in the senior category,
18:24and defeated an Indian fighter.
18:27Thank you very much, Shehzad Malik.
18:29He was updating us about our representatives and Mixed Martial Arts.
18:32That's all for today's program.
18:34Take care of yourself. Allah Hafiz.
