00:00I know they will get a lot of love in Pakistan, this is a fact and I have toured in 2004-2006, I know.
00:07Okay, I agree, if I was in the place of Pakistan Cricket Board, I would also say, tell me what is this?
00:13But is the Pakistan Cricket Team and the Pakistan Cricket Board ready for sanctions today?
00:18The rest of the sports, I also told you in my introduction, the team came after 59 years for the Davis Cup.
00:24The blind cricket team is coming, apart from this, you keep coming to other games of athletics.
00:30Only in cricket, security concerns are mentioned.
00:34So why cricket? Do you think because it has a political impact?
00:39Cricket and politics are mixed on both sides.
00:43Even your local regimes have a very close relationship with them.
00:47So these Pakistan-India relations, do they keep flexing through cricket boards?
00:52You are right, I want to know, was the name of India's Davis Cup captain known to everyone in Pakistan? No.
00:59How many people are coming to the blind cricket team? No.
01:03And again, I am not one of those people who do cherry-picking, that I say, this is right, that is wrong.
01:09Okay, if that is wrong, then that is right. I believe that it has to be standard.
01:13But at the same time, again, I told you earlier on my channel,
01:19I can confirm you, Maria ji, that some players had given reservations to the BCCI.
01:26Now, again, this is not my emotion.
01:30Shahid bhai is a little emotional right now, he is angry, and it is a matter of course, that I am not saying this.
01:35But I am telling you the news without emotion, that some Indian cricketers had also expressed their reservations.
01:42Now, I know they will get a lot of love in Pakistan, this is a fact.
01:46And I have toured in 2004, 2006, I know.
01:50But today the situation is different.
01:52You cannot explain to today's players that you will get so much love in Pakistan or not.
01:57Secondly, the stadiums that you are talking about, there will be matches.
02:02The host of the Champions Trophy is Pakistan.
02:05Pakistan will get all the hosting rights money.
02:09If Pakistan is a hybrid model Champions Trophy,
02:12the three stadiums that you upgraded, whatever money was spent, there will be matches.
02:17The only thing is that India's matches will be played in Dubai, including India-Pakistan game.
02:22And I think what can happen now, if we talk without emotion, what does Pakistan have right now?
02:28Pakistan has a bargaining chip.
02:30I am saying bargaining chip, I am not saying game over.
02:33This is a chess game, one move will go from there, one move will go from here.
02:38Ultimately, there will be a Champions Trophy.
02:40Ultimately, the luck will be in the hybrid model.
02:43But now the moves that Pakistan has, that is, let's do one thing.
02:47We will forfeit the India-Pakistan match.
02:50Okay, make it hybrid.
02:52So we will not go to Dubai.
02:54In that case, the ICC will say, what is happening?
02:58India-Pakistan match is a showpiece event.
03:01On the basis of this match, the ICC tournaments are sold.
03:04So the ICC will be worried.
03:06But then the broadcaster comes in this too.
03:08Because every match has value in the host agreement signed by Pakistan.
03:13Then the broadcaster will say, let's do one thing, let's make you lose this much.
03:18So all these things will happen.
03:19But yes, if Pakistan has to draw the line, put their foot down,
03:24put the foot down will be for the future.
03:26Maybe I will tell you about the Champions Trophy Pakistan.
03:29What I was just talking about in the ICC,
03:31he said that the Pakistan Cricket Board also knows from within that it will be a hybrid model.
03:37And this is going to be Dubai.
03:39This is Shahid Bhai's right.
03:41Before this, the BCCI did not say that we will not come.
03:44But I also want to know when did the BCCI say for the last time that we can think or we can go.
03:50If you can see that the patient is on ventilator,
03:54then I don't think that until the doctor tells me, I will not believe that he is sick.
03:58The doctor has not yet said that he is sick.
04:00I don't know why he is sick.
04:01He is on a ventilator.
04:02So this did not happen at any stage.
04:04Yes, when the ICC awarded, the BCCI was sitting in it,
04:08then did the BCCI agree?
04:11I don't know that.
04:12But I believe that now what I see from here,
04:16Pakistan will definitely do optics.
04:19He will also go to his government.
04:20He will also explore options.
04:22But ultimately, this will be the Champions Trophy.
04:25Pakistan and Dubai.
04:27You think it will be on the hybrid model.
04:29A quick closing comment, Mr. Shahid.
04:31Do you also think that eventually, it will go towards the hybrid model, Mr. Shahid?
04:36Pakistan is not on such a strong footing.
04:38Vikrant is absolutely right about this.
04:41Pakistan is not on such a strong footing.
04:43Then don't accept the hybrid model.
04:44He said that you have done the whole tournament in the UAE.
04:47Pakistan will have hosting rights.
04:49And then there is a good performance there.
04:51With today's victory, Pakistan has said to Australia that
04:55we belong to the international cricket community.
04:58We will give a good performance.
05:00If Pakistan gives a good performance in the Champions Trophy
05:02and wins the Champions Trophy again and retains it,
05:06then it will be a strong reply on the field.
05:08Because off the field, I have a little problem.
05:10There are no two opinions on this.
05:11There are no two opinions.
05:12What is your original craft, what is your game,
05:14you can give from that.
05:15Thank you both very much.
05:16We were trying to get the perspective of both Pakistan and India.
