00:00India was facing a huge issue with the Champions Trophy.
00:02Pakistan has to host the Champions Trophy.
00:04But you know, India is always ready to make a mess.
00:07And this time too, they said that the rest of the teams will host it.
00:11But our security is different.
00:13The security in Pakistan cannot be fulfilled.
00:15Whether it is England, West Indies, Australia, Sri Lanka or Bangladesh.
00:19Their security is different. India's security is different.
00:22So due to this, a lot of deals have been going on.
00:25But now we are hearing that in the Champions Trophy,
00:27a hybrid model, a fusion model has been decided.
00:32Now this has not been announced yet.
00:35But is this Pakistan's victory or not?
00:38This becomes an important question.
00:39And to answer this important question,
00:41Mr. Kamran Akmal is with us.
00:43He is a well-known cricketer.
00:45And he has already called himself Ghazi.
00:47In my previous show, I will call him Ghazi Cricketer.
00:51Mr. Kamran, thank you very much for joining me in the program.
00:54First tell me, is fusion Pakistan's victory or defeat?
00:58Or is it something in between?
01:00Look, as a Pakistani, I will never think that it is our victory or defeat.
01:06I will definitely think that this fusion model should not happen.
01:12Pakistan should host the entire Champions Trophy.
01:16But the excuses they are making, they are making their own joke internationally.
01:21Look at the security reasons.
01:23Because all the teams have come to play in Pakistan.
01:26We have done a lot of programs.
01:28But now it's okay.
01:30There is no need for us to be happy about this.
01:32I think their public will also have to host a hybrid model for the next 3 years, until 2027.
01:41So I don't think this is a victory for cricket.
01:44I think this is a defeat for the fans globally on both sides of the public.
01:49100%
01:50Because the amount of revenue and excitement that comes from India and Pakistan's matches,
01:55it may not be anywhere else.
01:57But now you have talked about 2027.
02:00There is news that we will have a draw.
02:03All the matches that we will have to play somewhere else, at some other venue.
02:07We will be given a draw for that.
02:10But India will not be given in 2027.
02:12Because this is India's decision.
02:14Can this be a draw for Pakistan?
02:17Look, a lot can happen on India-Pakistan matches.
02:21The world's biggest match is said to be India-Pakistan.
02:25And look, their public will not be happy with this decision.
02:31And as far as Pakistan is concerned, I think we should appreciate all the steps and statements that Pakistan has taken so far.
02:40We should feel proud that this time we were not flexible in this matter.
02:45We have kept our respect, Pakistan's respect first.
02:48Then we talked about something else.
02:49And our chairman has been on the same stance.
02:51Before this, the Pakistan Cricket Board used to be a little flexible.
02:55Like the Asian Cup.
02:57But this time, I think we have been on our own.
03:00Whatever the result is, whatever the decision is, it has to come officially.
03:05The ICC has to do it.
03:07But I think whatever decision is taken in the future for Pakistan, for Pakistan's cricket,
03:13I think Pakistan Cricket Board is handling it with great maturity.
03:17Our chairman, Mohsin Naqvi.
03:20So I think things will be better in the future.
03:24But there is also a loss of India in this.
03:26I will not be so happy that India's three tournaments will be on a hybrid model.
03:31I will be disappointed.
03:32I will be happy that India hosts the entire tournament.
03:35If we host the entire tournament, it is better for both countries.
03:38If you do not play in this area, how will there be progress?
03:42How will the complaints of each other end?
03:45It will be the same situation.
03:47These things will happen.
03:49Sports will go to each other and play.
03:51Some matters will be better.
03:52Whatever complaint you have, you sit and talk on the table.
03:56Backdoor diplomacy should run on both sides.
03:59Those who are better for this area should work on it.
04:02Things will not be better than this.
04:03Thank you very much for joining me in the program.
