00:00Hello and welcome to Sportsroom. I am your host, Najeeb Ulhasnain.
00:17The New Zealand team has reached Pakistan to play the Champions Trophy and Tri Series.
00:22As you know, the Tri Series has been going on for a week now.
00:25Are the preparations complete?
00:26Yes, the first match will be played on 8th February.
00:28I have with me in the studio, our sports correspondent, Mr. Shahid Hashmi.
00:31Mr. Shahid, Assalam-o-Alaikum. Welcome to the show.
00:32Wa-alaikum-as-salam.
00:33So, the preparations have begun. The preparations are excellent.
00:36First, there is the Tri Series. After that, there is the Champions Trophy.
00:39And from the Tri Series, as everyone is accepting, you will get good practice from this.
00:44The New Zealand team has reached.
00:45For South Africa, we have recently come to know that Gerard Kotze is having a problem.
00:51What will you say about this?
00:52He has come and gone.
00:53He has come and gone.
00:54We selected him in the team.
00:55And we came to know that he has a tight groin.
00:57He has ruled out of the Champions Trophy.
00:59He has ruled out of the Tri Series.
01:00Now, he is also having SA20.
01:02Because of which, he has to bring 6 new players for the first match.
01:06And his main 2-3 players, Rassi Wander Dasan, Keshav Maharaj, will be available after the first match.
01:12I don't know if they will be available or not.
01:14Obviously, the SA20 will be the final.
01:16If they leave from there, will they be able to reach the 2nd or 3rd match or not?
01:20So, South Africa has some problems because of this SA20.
01:23The New Zealand team is at full strength.
01:25The Pakistan team is at full strength.
01:27And come February 8, this will be a very good tournament.
01:31You will get a chance to prepare very well.
01:33All three teams will get the Champions Trophy.
01:35What you said is questionable and debatable.
01:39That the Pakistan team is at full strength.
01:41We are the team that…
01:44I am saying that the team that is announced to be at full strength.
01:46Because we cut the branch that we sit on.
01:48Because such a good team was running for so long.
01:51There was no need for much changes.
01:53Now, I am surprised.
01:54Somebody that I think has a good vision and speaks well.
01:57Aqib Javed is defending that.
02:00And he said that…
02:02He has spoken about many things.
02:04Many things are like this.
02:05In the last week, the team that came to us.
02:07A day ago, it was Aamir Jamal's name.
02:09Aamir Jamal also showed his frustration.
02:11Suddenly, Faheem Ashraf's name came up.
02:13So, if you combine both the records.
02:15Aamir Jamal was new.
02:17In white ball cricket.
02:18In red ball, what he did in Australia.
02:20He did a great job.
02:21In red ball, he played very well against England.
02:24He caught the catches very well.
02:25He has established himself in red ball.
02:27In white ball, he had a little competition with Faheem Ashraf.
02:30Faheem Ashraf is not a bad player.
02:32The criticism that is being put on him.
02:34Everyone is after Faheem Ashraf with a stick.
02:37That there is a political selection.
02:39He is also our player.
02:40And two years ago, he played a big league with Hobart Hurricanes.
02:45In seven matches, he scored 8-9.
02:47The four sixes that he scored in 61.
02:50In total, in seven innings, 61 was his total.
02:53But the four sixes that he scored.
02:55It seemed that Faheem Ashraf is progressing.
02:57But a lot of our players go two steps ahead.
02:59And four steps behind.
03:01But Shahid sir, gap of two years.
03:03You don't have any planning.
03:05You don't have anything like that.
03:07Thank God, four years later, the player didn't come.
03:09Faheem Ashraf is not the captain.
03:11In Pakistan, if there is a comeback, it is with the captain.
03:15Thank God, Rizwan is a good captain.
03:17Otherwise, Faheem Ashraf could have been the captain.
03:20When he is talking, he is saying that
03:22There was a lot of talk on Aamir Jamal.
03:24He was also on consideration.
03:26But he couldn't make his place.
03:28So Faheem Ashraf's position was made.
03:30And if you are considering Big Bash.
03:32It's been a long time.
03:34You are coming on BPL.
03:36And BPL's standard will be equal to the Champions Trophy.
03:39What kind of thing is this?
03:40It's a T20 tournament.
03:42And we are saying again and again that
03:44There was no standard of Bangladesh Premier League.
03:46If there was anything good about Bangladesh Premier League.
03:48It was the local crowd.
03:50There was a lot of participation.
03:52It's their own league.
03:54But forgive me, there was no standard.
03:56There were no good bowlers there.
03:58There were no good batsmen.
04:00If there was a good league, it was SA20.
04:02Then ILT20.
04:04And Big Bash is obviously on their own talent.
04:06So based on that,
04:08Selecting on that basis.
04:10May God not backfire.
04:12May God support.
04:14Khujdil and Faheem Ashraf made both runs.
04:16So in the first two matches.
04:18You will know where the Pakistan team is standing.
04:20It is very important to win the first match.
04:22We have to talk about the discussion on the spinner.
04:24We have to talk about the opener.
04:26But let's take a break here.
04:38Glad to have you back once again to Sports Room.
04:40Mr. Shahid Hashmi was with us.
04:42And we were talking about Aqib Javed's press conference.
04:44He said one more interesting thing.
04:46And that was.
04:48Only one spinner plays in the playing eleven.
04:50What does this mean?
04:52It means that it won't be in your squad.
04:54And according to the condition, you can play two.
04:56India is being forced so much.
04:58That Varun Chakraborty's form.
05:00They should also be kept together.
05:02They have kept him with England in one day.
05:04In the Champions Trophy.
05:06Because they already have four players.
05:08Four extraordinary spinners.
05:10Three of them are great batsmen.
05:12Kuldeep Yadav doesn't bat much.
05:14Otherwise, they have every base cover.
05:16If they get a shock of Bumrah.
05:18Then it will be a big shock.
05:20Because if India gets a shock of Bumrah.
05:22Because Bumrah is the leader of the pack.
05:24Bumrah is such a performer.
05:26Very unique.
05:28Even if he doesn't take wickets in 10 overs.
05:30But he will induce the other end bowler.
05:32So much pressure.
05:34That he will take chances on the other bowler.
05:36And give wickets to the other bowler.
05:38For Pakistan.
05:40There is only one thing.
05:42You have to pick the best 11 players.
05:44Out of these 15.
05:46You have to pick the best 11 players.
05:48With this in mind.
05:50There can be a point.
05:52That there are only three matches.
05:54In three matches.
05:56You have to pick the best 11 players.
05:58Two of them have to win.
06:00If three of them win.
06:02Then it is up to Rizwan.
06:04To pick the best 11 players.
06:06According to the rival team.
06:08According to the condition.
06:10But Shahid.
06:12It sounds easy.
06:14But when it comes to the opposition.
06:16Who will open.
06:18You don't have a set plan.
06:20Rizwan wanted pride.
06:22Tell us.
06:24Rizwan wanted pride.
06:26But he didn't get it.
06:28Now he will have to work with Khujdil Shah.
06:30But again.
06:32Against New Zealand.
06:34You have to pick the best 11 players.
06:36And in the best 11.
06:38Abrar will come.
06:40If you think.
06:42He will come to hit.
06:44And Abrar.
06:46He played in Hyderabad.
06:48He hit the spinners.
06:50And in 140.
06:52He had 10 sixes.
06:54So Rizwan has a responsibility.
06:56To select the best 11 players.
06:58If it is in the hands of a selector.
07:00Like S.H. Shafiq said.
07:02We will go and select the best players.
07:04This power should be with Rizwan.
07:06Absolutely right.
07:08Let's see what happens.
07:10Shahid.
07:12You know.
07:14Bhoomra had a back injury.
07:16And now he is not in this series.
07:18Which is starting against England.
07:20And it is being said.
07:22That he will not be available.
07:24Harshit Rana.
07:26What will be his replacement?
07:28He has 3-4 very good replacements.
07:30If he wants.
07:32He can bring anyone.
07:34Right now India has the biggest advantage.
07:36That they have very good backup players.
07:38Whether you take T20.
07:40Whether you take test.
07:42Whether you take ODI cricket.
07:44They have a great backup.
07:46Whatever replacement Bhoomra will get.
07:48He will not be Bhoomra.
07:50But if he shows the way.
07:52Instead of Bhoomra.
07:54When Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will leave.
07:56It will be more exciting.
07:58Because Abhishek Sharma.
08:00Tilak Verma.
08:02In T20.
08:04There is a revolution.
08:06They have a different team.
08:08And the place where they are playing.
08:10I think they are playing cricket on earth.
08:12Like England.
08:14Like South Africa.
08:16Like South Africa.
08:18And their thinking.
08:20Like Gautam Gambhir.
08:22In one match.
08:24He was out.
08:26But in the next match.
08:28He came again.
08:30And you saw.
08:32The way he batted against England.
08:3495-96 runs in power play.
08:36In the last one.
08:38The power play.
08:40Forced the other team.
08:42And now.
08:44After so many successes.
08:46Now Gautam Gambhir.
08:48And the media is saying.
08:50They need bowlers.
08:52Where will they go?
08:54Will they do 350-400?
08:56The most underrated cricketer.
08:58In the world.
09:00Pat Cummins.
09:02He is injured.
09:04He won't be in the Champions Trophy.
09:06We are talking about Steve Smith.
09:08And Travis Head's captaincy.
09:10This is tricky.
09:12Without Pat Cummins.
09:14They can have a team.
09:16But the captaincy.
09:18For Travis Head.
09:20He can bat.
09:22Smith has already done it.
09:24He can handle it.
09:26But three big cricketers.
09:28Won't be in the Champions Trophy.
09:30Mitch Marsh.
09:32A great player in the ODI World Cup.
09:34Pat Cummins.
09:36A great bowler.
09:38And Josh Hazlewood.
09:40Josh Hazlewood.
09:42The way he bowls.
09:44Babar Azam will be happy.
09:46Babar Azam doesn't play in Australia.
09:48If he gets a chance.
09:50In the semifinal or final.
09:52Australia will be shocked.
09:54The players who will replace him.
09:56Won't be experienced.
09:58Bob Webster.
10:00He hasn't played ODI cricket.
10:02He has a good backup.
10:04But these three players.
10:06Will hurt Australia's chances.
10:0840%.
10:10Thank you Shahid Hashmi.
10:12For analyzing the teams.
10:14And Aqib Javed.
10:16For talking to the media.
10:18That's all for now.
10:20I will leave now.
10:22Take care.
10:24Allah Hafiz.
