ARY NEWS

Transcript

00:00 India, we expect the same from you.

00:04 But you shouldn't do this at such an international level, at such a big event.

00:08 Obviously, there are many people's eyes there, the international community is also watching.

00:13 But the Pakistan cricket team has not yet received an Indian visa.

00:16 Now this squad will go to India.

00:20 All the other teams participating, all the players and officials have received visas.

00:26 But only the Pakistan team has not yet received a visa.

00:30 They have to go to India today.

00:31 What do they have to find out?

00:32 There are so many famous players, international matches, you play with them on different avenues.

00:37 And, sorry, you play at different venues.

00:39 And let me tell you, there is no direct flight.

00:41 Our players will go to Dubai first, and then to India.

00:45 This is the Vagabonder 7.

00:47 But because of the strictness of India, relations are always at this point.

00:53 So this is the situation. They are saying that the visa is being processed.

00:57 They are writing it by hand.

00:59 So, Tauseef Ahmed is with us.

01:02 Let's talk to him.

01:03 Tauseef, obviously, we should talk about what strategy should be used.

01:09 Our team is relatively new.

01:11 There is talent, it's an oozing talent pool.

01:14 And we will have a lot of challenges in bowling and batting.

01:17 But we are talking about the visa.

01:19 And obviously, if it doesn't go, how will it perform?

01:22 And you tell me, as a player, you have a lot of mental warfare, physical attributes.

01:29 How much mental warfare and nerves matter?

01:32 You should have been there, but you didn't.

01:34 So this also affects the player's psyche a lot.

01:38 Yes, thank you.

01:40 Yes, it does.

01:42 And the real thing is that if they don't bother us, they don't feel at ease.

01:48 That's the whole thing.

01:50 We have been seeing for a long time that the difficulties are being put.

01:56 Anyway, there is some logistical problem.

01:59 And our team has also been announced a little late.

02:03 Usually, the names of 18-20 boys go first.

02:06 Then a particular date is given that you can change it and announce your score.

02:13 Our team was a little late.

02:16 Anyway, thanks for telling us.

02:20 And the news is that we are traveling.

02:23 Yes, what Sadaf just said was really very painful.

02:27 Here, a person can jump in and go in.

02:31 And we have to go again from Dubai.

02:35 Because I also just took the Bangladesh team when I was in Pakistan.

02:40 It was very hectic.

02:42 It was very hectic.

02:44 I mean, I had to stay there for 6-7 hours and then go ahead.

02:48 But this is one thing.

02:50 And Tauseef sir, in that situation, our players are coming to Lahore to play, sometimes going to Sri Lanka.

02:55 We played a match like this.

02:57 When did this edition happen?

02:59 Yes, there are difficulties.

03:01 Everyone is in front of it.

03:03 And if Mr. Satish remembers, I was saying that I hope this match does not happen.

03:07 We played the match and my six was doing this work.

03:13 Like they did 145 overnight.

03:17 And after that, I was getting a little danger bell.

03:21 Anyway, that time has passed.

03:23 Now we have to see that we will go here and do well.

03:29 Let's hope so.

03:31 Tauseef sir, tell us that you have also played a lot of cricket.

03:33 And India is our traditional rival.

03:35 We enjoy playing with them.

03:37 Because the competition is very good.

03:39 But the atmosphere of hatred at the moment, did you ever feel that it has gone to a very extreme level now?

03:49 See, there has always been a problem.

03:51 I have also played a lot against them at that time.

03:55 Whether in Sharjah or in India, we also played.

03:59 At that time, there was a lot of tension.

04:01 And it is not like that.

04:05 When we were losing, they threw crackers at us in the public.

04:09 But I think it is their responsibility to stop these things.

04:15 But the players should remain normal.

04:19 There will definitely be some pressure.

04:21 But it should remain normal.

04:23 But one thing is that will it work for us or work against us?

04:27 There is extra pressure.

04:29 Because the team goes as a unit.

04:31 But due to injuries, there will be a lot of changes in the team.

04:37 From the bowling department to the batting department.

04:41 How do you think that will affect us?

04:45 As such, we have not made any big changes.

04:53 We have almost the same players.

04:57 Only one person has come.

04:59 He has also been selected due to experience.

05:03 And those who are in our reserve, you know.

05:07 I would be happy if Abrar was in the 15th squad.

05:11 But I think he has the experience.

05:13 Anyway, he will go with us.

05:15 If something happens, like our injury,

05:21 you can see that they have brought Ashwin back to the Australian series.

05:27 And they have also made three outs.

05:29 So I hope and I can see the pitches are very good.

05:33 The ones they have made against Australia.

05:35 And they have left Australia.

05:39 Sir, you are with us.

05:41 Kamran Akmal, a former Test cricketer, joins us.

05:45 Kamri bhai, thank you very much.

05:47 Good morning to you, Kamran.

05:49 I feel strange to call you a former, because you are a current.

05:53 So Kamri bhai, let's start from the visas.

05:57 How does this affect the players' mentality?

06:01 You are getting ready, obviously.

06:03 Physical fitness and all this training, etc.

06:06 And after that, you have to go to Budhgo today.

06:08 And now there is a possibility of going to Budhgo.

06:10 The other teams are also reaching.

06:12 So is this an attempt to play with our Indian mentality?

06:14 Look, the Pakistan Cricket Board should take a very strong stand on this.

06:21 And the ICC should say this.

06:23 And first of all, the matter should not go to the ICC.

06:26 They know that the World Cup is taking place.

06:28 Such a thing should not have happened about the visa.

06:32 But what can we say?

06:34 Since you know, the relationship of Pakistan-India for 8-10 years.

06:38 Because of that, they are doing this.

06:40 It never happened before.

06:41 We have been to Pakistan before.

06:44 We have never talked about a visa.

06:46 Like it is happening now, with the Pakistan team.

06:50 So late.

06:51 Then as far as you are saying, the mentality is not good.

06:53 So Kamran, the reason is that the team was announced late.

06:56 Is this also a reason?

06:58 No, well, this cannot be the reason.

07:00 Basically, the 30 announcers for the World Cup squad.

07:04 The ones who have to give the name to the ICC.

07:07 All their visas are applied at the same time.

07:09 The BCB does it.

07:11 All the boards do it.

07:12 All the players.

07:13 Because there is a need for replacement in between.

07:16 This is not the reason.

07:17 What can we say?

07:19 It is a negative thing for Pakistan.

07:21 I mean, not just because of this.

07:22 They are degrading Pakistan more.

07:26 They are trying to show it down.

07:28 But the Pakistan team, I think, should not think about this.

07:32 And this should be said strongly to the ICC.

07:35 The BCCI should say.

07:36 Their government should say.

07:38 This is not a tournament of the Dharampur Club.

07:42 They are doing this by taking the visa.

07:44 This is a sad thing.

07:46 But what can we say?

07:48 It is a matter of players' practice.

07:50 The players should be normal.

07:52 If the players are so, what is the name, mentally, you can say.

07:56 That they should not be weak.

07:58 Look, they are relaxed.

07:59 They are not camping.

08:00 They are chilling.

08:01 And they will play a direct practice match in the World Cup.

08:04 We should realize that we do not care about the World Cup.

08:08 Because we do not have a camp.

08:10 After the Asia Cup, the team was disbanded on 15th.

08:12 We did not prepare for the World Cup.

08:15 So we do not care.

08:16 Whenever we go, we will say that our team is very good.

08:20 We should prepare in Pakistan and go.

08:22 The Pakistan team should set up a camp.

08:24 We have not seen any such preparation from the management or the players.

08:30 This is a very concerning thing.

08:34 Very concerning.

08:35 So, Kami bhai, what are your expectations?

08:37 In this situation.

08:38 I wanted to ask a question to Tauseef bhai.

08:41 But I will start with you.

08:43 Hassan Ali has been included.

08:45 Obviously, you are a keeper.

08:47 But you understand this.

08:49 Should Hassan Ali play with Shaheen?

08:53 Or should he play with Haris first?

08:56 How should he play?

08:58 What do you think?

09:00 Ishfaq, the team has just been announced.

09:03 We should support the team.

09:07 May Allah make our team perform well.

09:10 The performance should not be repeated like it was in the Asia Cup.

09:13 He should play positive cricket.

09:16 As far as Hassan Ali is concerned.

09:18 Naseem Shah was your best bowler.

09:21 You identify the replacement of him as the best in Pakistan.

09:26 The selection, the captain and the management should be Hassan Ali.

09:30 He should perform well.

09:32 He has the ability to play in the Champions Trophy.

09:35 He was out in the middle.

09:39 So, we will use Hassan Ali in the middle.

09:42 It is very important for him to swing well.

09:45 And then he should be out.

09:47 But the combination of spinners in the middle.

09:50 It is very important to contain it.

09:53 Go with the specialist.

09:56 If our team goes with too many all-rounders.

09:59 Then the situation will be like the Asia Cup.

10:02 India played 400 matches yesterday.

10:04 India's B team has played 400 matches.

10:07 They have six players.

10:09 They have played 400 matches against Australia.

10:11 There are no such victors there.

10:13 You go with too many all-rounders.

10:15 And you out a big team by 300.

10:18 You have to go with a specialist.

10:21 And you have to give a positive performance.

10:24 You have to show content.

10:25 Be it bowling or batting.

10:27 Tauseef, how will you respond to this?

10:29 Ashfaq has raised this question.

10:31 What combination should be done with Hassan's inclusion?

10:34 What number should Hassan bowl?

10:36 Should he start or first change?

10:38 The captain will see the combination.

10:41 He will see the situation.

10:43 I think he will come on first change.

10:46 He is a good player.

10:51 He is playing in the line and length.

10:54 He is coming from an injury.

10:56 I think if he bowls on first change.

11:00 I feel it will be better.

11:03 There are chances of him being successful.

11:06 I hope it happens.

11:08 I want to ask Kamran about the ICC.

11:13 We don't see the ICC anywhere.

11:16 We don't see the ACC anywhere.

11:19 No one talks about it.

11:21 A while ago, Tauseef, you were exposed.

11:24 All these big three.

11:26 You remember?

11:27 You raised your voice.

11:29 You talked about it.

11:30 Everyone talked about it.

11:31 It is the rule of the big three.

11:33 It is everyone's rule.

11:34 Revenue matters.

11:35 Be it the relations of the countries.

11:37 Or the influence of the boards.

11:39 Revenue is everything.

11:43 A combination is in the team.

11:47 It is the same in the countries.

11:49 We don't see the Asian countries.

11:54 They run where they see money.

11:58 You saw what happened.

12:01 No one said that you kept a reserve day.

12:06 You didn't keep it for the rest.

12:09 Tell me one thing.

12:11 I want to know from you.

12:14 The reserve players are showing concern.

12:18 It is difficult to play.

12:21 Unless there is an injury.

12:24 Will it be difficult to play for Abrar?

12:27 Keeping this in mind.

12:30 It is like that.

12:32 The reserve players are there.

12:36 During the match.

12:40 There can be no replacement.

12:44 It can be in the next match.

12:46 It is like that.

12:48 We know the time.

12:52 We have to go to Dubai.

12:54 India.

12:55 It is a long flight.

12:57 40 minutes from Lahore to Delhi.

12:59 We used to go.

13:02 It is not working.

13:04 The relations are not good.

13:06 That is why we have 3 players.

13:09 I am concerned.

13:11 Mohammad Haris is on the reserve.

13:13 If there is a problem.

13:18 Who will do the wicket keeping?

13:20 In that match.

13:22 Mohammad Haris can do it.

13:24 I don't think he can.

13:26 He can do it in the next match.

13:29 But not on the match day.

13:31 He can do it.

13:33 When the keeper is allowed.

13:35 The other wicket keeper can come.

13:37 Thank you so much.

13:40 Thank you.

13:42 Very important point.

13:44 Let's see what happens.
