00:00The Champions Cup is starting in Faisalabad from tomorrow and the biggest question in the minds of the audience is that what will change in the Champions Cup this time that Pakistan will start getting young players?
00:19The players of Pakistan who have not been performing for years will get a replacement. What will happen this time?
00:27Because this tournament is being started with a lot of enthusiasm and the way a Hab is being created, it seems that PCB is also hopeful this time.
00:41And I am not saying this wrong, it is obvious that when problems are coming in your team, you are not getting talent, then your eyes go to domestic cricket.
00:53But my question here is that the top performers of the recent domestic events of Pakistan, have we given them their right?
01:05If not, then what is going to change now?
01:11Because in the case of Pakistan, which I tell you in detail, how many players have we given a chance to those players who make a place in the top 10 players?
01:25And in the Champions Cup, if we assume that the class of the event is low, there is a big gap between the coming players and international cricket, then the question arises that why do we waste so much time and money on such domestic cricket?
01:45So what will happen in the Champions Cup, will their top performers get a chance or not, this time will tell, but here I am putting some spices in front of you.
02:01I will also remove the bowlers from the events that took place in Pakistan in 2024-2023, I will only talk about the batsmen, because you will see most of these players in action in the Champions Cup, so that you know which of these players have given outstanding performances in recent events.
02:23If we talk about the President Cup Grade 1, which took 50 overs, Hussain Talat had the most runs, 364, played 5 innings, was not out twice, and did the most centuries of 2 centuries 150.
02:42Kamran Ghulam was second, Hussain Talat's average was 121 because he was not out twice, a strike rate of 104, and Kamran Ghulam's average of 72, a strike rate of 98, he also did 2 centuries, these were the only two players who did more than one century in the President Cup.
03:01Abdullah Shafiq had a good performance, whose average was more than 49, a strike rate of 94, Hasibullah Khan had a strike rate of 98, a run average of 87, played only 4 innings, scored 1 century and 2 fifties, Muhammad Huraira was successful in making 257 runs, a strike rate of 104, an average of 85.
03:21Sharjeel Khan had a strike rate of 133.69, a strike rate of 50, Tayyab Tahir had a strike rate of 78, an average of 48, and Saad Naseem was 8th with 240 runs.
03:36So here the question arises that we gave a chance to one of these players, who is the top scorer of Pakistan's main Wunder Cup, and then comes the President Cup Trophy Grade 1, which consisted of 14 matches.
03:53Abdul Fasih did the most runs, 637, 3 centuries and 1 fifty, and Saad Naseem also did 3 centuries, his average was 59. Abid Ali, who had made double centuries for Pakistan, was at number 30, and apart from that Umar Ameen, Saad Khan, Asad Shafiq, Umar Akmal, these are the players who had been giving performances for Pakistan.
04:20Here I will also talk about Iftikhar Ahmed, who played 6 innings in first-class matches, and did 464 runs, 2 centuries and 2 fifties, and also played 155 runs, so did we give him a chance? No, we did not give anyone a chance in the test format.
04:39Apart from that, in the National T20 Cup 2023-2024, Sehzada Farhan did the most 400 runs, and the biggest thing was that his strike rate was 178.91. After that, Kamran Ghulam played with a strike rate of 140, Sajid Ali Hashmi played with a strike rate of 143, these were the players who were at the top position in terms of runs, but we did not give anyone a chance.
05:07And apart from that, if we talk about the Pakistan One Day Cup, which was played in the first-class format, Sam Ayub made 397 runs in 8 innings and got the honor of being the top scorer, he had a strike rate of 115, Shan Masood had a strike rate of 102, and with an average of 62, he made 372 runs and was at number 2.
05:28Sharjeel Khan was also at number 3 in terms of runs and had an average of 57 and a strike rate of 124, which was the highest strike rate of any batsman in this event. So did we give him a chance? We have not given Sam Ayub a one-day format yet.
05:47If we talk about Shan Masood, he is already a flop, Sam Ayub is already a flop, if we talk about Sharjeel Khan, he is making runs in domestic cricket, we call it modern day cricket, if anyone in Pakistan has the highest strike rate, it is Sharjeel Khan, but we do not give him a chance.
06:17Overall, the question that arises here is that do we fulfill the decisions that we are making or the planning that we are doing? When will the system of injustice with the players stop? Will these players get their rights in the Champions Cup if they give performance?
06:45If it comes to Sharjeel Khan's fitness, or if it comes to the fact that he is over 35 years old, then he should be separated from domestic cricket, he should clearly say that we do not like you, we do not want to play for boys over 35 years.
07:02On the other hand, Azam Khan is not playing because he is playing for the Caribbean Premier League, PCB has no problem with his fitness, the problem is with Sharjeel Khan's fitness.
07:22Some players are tired of giving performances in domestic cricket, they do not get a chance, some players are such that they play a few rings and they are immediately called to the Pakistan team, Abdullah Shafiq is a big example of this, there are many other players who are playing in the Pakistan team.
07:44And despite being unsuccessful here, it is being played with the hope that they have a lot of talent, one day their talent will come in front of them, now they do not know when the talent will come in front of them, then the question arises that if these players are so talented, then why are they not included in the top players in the domestic events of Pakistan?
08:05And why don't we include the players who are repeatedly in the top players, who are giving more strike rates and why don't we include them?
08:14It is a different story to test our talent, it is a different scale, whoever we say is talented, even if he is out on zero in three innings, we call him talented and keep him in the Pakistan team.
08:28But the problem is that we have now put a new slogan in the name of the Champions Cup that we will get a lot of benefit from this, we will get new talent, new talent, but the question arises that these players have already come here after giving performances from year to year.
08:56If they were not given the right earlier, will they be given the right this time? This is a big question.
