03:06 We all knew what was going to happen in the team.
03:10 Then, the team announcement took so long.
03:12 Then, the visa application took so long.
03:14 We should have been careful about this.
03:16 The relations with India could have taken longer to get a visa.
03:21 So, our process was slow from this side as well.
03:24 We should take both sides' opinions.
03:26 On one side, my story is usually this way that I take both sides' version.
03:32 So that a correct guess can be made.
03:34 But, we are getting to know that the visa application took so long.
03:37 Pakistan Cricket Board is saying that it's a big team and they should get visas on time.
03:42 But, one more thing that is being said in Indian media is that the Ministry of External Affairs
03:49 was busy in the G20 meeting for the first 15 days of December.
03:53 That's why all stakeholders were told to apply on time.
03:58 Now, this is the version of both sides.
04:02 But, I hope that all will be well and all these issues will be resolved.
04:08 Absolutely right.
04:09 Thank you very much, Mr. Shahid Hashmi.
04:11 Delay or no delay, this is a big event and Pakistan is a big team.
04:14 For this, the Pakistan team should have got visas by fast-processing.
04:19 It was delayed.
04:20 It is expected that this issue can be solved today evening as well.
04:24 Otherwise, the visas will be received by tomorrow morning.
04:27 Pakistani players are away from these things and they want to go to the World Cup with their spirit.
04:34 What do they have to say?
04:35 How is the preparation?
04:36 How are they feeling for this big event?
04:38 Let's show you.
04:39 It didn't go as we expected.
04:41 The morale of the team is very good.
04:43 In bowling and batting, middle overs are very important in cricket.
04:47 We will try to get the trophy of the World Cup on 20th or 21st.
04:50 Basically, we are not going to play only from India.
04:53 Overall, we will try to give good performances in the World Cup.
04:57 We will keep our game plan well.
04:59 In Pakistani cricket, the first fast bowlers used to be very angry,
05:02 especially in the match against India, they used to be very angry.
05:05 They used to show their eyes.
05:06 We don't get to see those scenes in Pakistan.
05:08 Why are you fighting with them?
05:10 No, I mean...
05:10 You are playing cricket, not fighting.
05:12 Do you see aggression?
05:14 Yes, absolutely.
05:15 The rest of the people believe, you know, we as a team believe in ourselves.
05:18 Yes, they are very motivated and they say that aggression is not just about showing your eyes.
05:24 Aggression should be in the game.
05:25 Let's take a short commercial break here.
05:27 We will continue the discussion later.
05:29 Yasir Arfaad will also be with us.
05:30 Don't go anywhere.
05:31 We will be right back.
05:47 Glad to have you back once again to Sports Room.
05:49 Before the break, we were discussing visa issues.
05:52 Now we will talk about preparations.
05:54 Yasir Arfaad is with us, a former cricketer.
05:56 Yasir, Assalamualaikum.
05:57 Welcome to the show.
05:58 First of all, let's start with the fact that
06:01 the Pakistan team was looking very strong before going to the Asia Cup.
06:06 We played two bad matches in the Asia Cup.
06:09 After that, we all were a little worried.
06:13 Now if I ask you, which teams are there in this World Cup
06:16 that can give us a tough time and what is our preparation?
06:20 According to that, where do you see Pakistan?
06:22 The preparations that the Pakistan team is going through for this World Cup,
06:27 a lot of questions are raised.
06:29 But along with that, I would say that
06:32 I still have a lot of hope from the Pakistan team
06:35 that the players we have,
06:38 impact players, match winners are present in our team.
06:41 The condition is that when the Pakistan team goes to this tournament,
06:46 and plays as a unit,
06:47 it can beat any team, any best team,
06:51 and it can also lose to any easy team.
06:53 Now the matter is how does Pakistan's management
06:56 manage this team and make such a combination
07:01 that is an ideal combination in which your players perform,
07:05 whether it is bowling, batting or fielding.
07:08 So if you want to do well in this World Cup,
07:11 then you will have a big responsibility of management.
07:14 The World Cup will be a very long World Cup.
07:17 The fitness of the players will matter a lot.
07:21 Obviously, the players' form is not as good as that of the Asia Cup,
07:24 but I still have trust in my players.
07:28 I believe that they are capable of performing well
07:32 and can give good results to Pakistan in the World Cup
07:35 and finish in the top four.
07:37 One thing that is worrying is Shadab Khan's form.
07:42 He has been failing to win against big teams for a long time.
07:48 He has performed well in mediocre teams and small teams,
07:52 but he is not able to be successful against big teams.
07:55 He is in the team and is also the captain.
07:58 So how important is it for him to find the form
08:02 and perform well in this World Cup?
08:05 There are many things concerning the Pakistan team.
08:10 Fast bowling, opening stand, middle batsman.
08:17 I think Shadab is lacking in his performance.
08:28 He has been playing well in the Asia Cup,
08:38 whereas he has been struggling in bowling.
08:41 He is the vice captain and a senior player.
08:46 You can stop a team's run only when you are in the middle.
08:53 It is good to take wickets at any time,
08:58 but it is important to take wickets in the middle.
09:02 Only then you can restrict a team.
09:04 Especially, as cricket is being played these days.
09:06 The score is 300+.
09:08 It is happening in many matches.
09:10 Teams aim to hit the target of 300+.
09:13 You yourself mentioned that we have a problem with our middle order.
09:20 It is because our top three has been performing well for a long time
09:26 and the middle order has not been stable.
09:29 Rizwan is at number 4.
09:31 Your rotation policy was not good.
09:35 You don't know if Saud Shakeel will be able to adjust or not.
09:39 What will be the role of Agha Salman?
09:42 The way the middle order batsmen make runs in the other team,
09:46 we are lacking in that.
09:49 What will you say about the problem of the middle order?
09:51 You mentioned about the middle order.
09:55 The runs are not the same as the other teams.
10:02 The last 8-10 overs have players who can hit big.
10:08 Pakistan is lagging in that.
10:11 I think I am proud of this team.
10:15 You should have had better players in the middle.
10:18 The situation is such that the players you have available,
10:23 I think Iftikhar Ahmed is a player who can grind,
10:30 run a ball in the middle and can hit big shots for the last 10 overs.
10:36 I think if Iftikhar gets more chances in the middle,
10:43 we saw his batting order in the Asia Cup,
10:48 he did a century in the Asia Cup,
10:50 he did a good batting in Sri Lanka and he has played good innings in the past.
10:55 If he gets more chances, I think this problem will be solved.
11:02 There are many options, but the team you have created,
11:07 I think you will play in the World Cup.
11:14 Yasser, let's take a break.
11:17 Glad to have you back once again to Sports Room.
11:34 Yasser Arfaat is with us.
11:36 We are talking to him about the preparation of the Pakistan team.
11:40 We will not repeat the mistakes we made in the Asia Cup.
11:45 The biggest problem in the Asia Cup was with Pakistan,
11:49 it was plan B.
11:51 In the beginning, we always depend on Shaheen.
11:56 In the middle overs, the other team was taking wickets through spinners,
12:00 in which Pakistan was failing.
12:02 Kuldeep was fantastic.
12:04 And well ahead, a youngster was coming to Sri Lanka and giving wickets.
12:09 We struggled there.
12:11 If this continues, there will be a loss in the World Cup.
12:14 I think when you are preparing in the wrong format,
12:20 your Asia Cup 50 overs, your World Cup 50 overs,
12:24 and the boys in our recent,
12:26 except those three matches against Afghanistan,
12:29 that too at the last minute,
12:31 and your boys are playing in T10, T20, T100,
12:37 when the players are preparing to spell four overs,
12:42 and in the shorter format, you are told,
12:46 the coaches tell you,
12:48 and you as a player know that if you have to survive,
12:51 if you don't want to get hit in bowling,
12:53 you have to bowl fast,
12:56 you have to spin or fly,
12:58 or the way you saw the Indian bowler,
13:00 or the Sri Lankan bowler,
13:02 they were spinning, giving flight to the ball,
13:04 and ten overs, for any bowler,
13:06 is a lot of bowling,
13:08 and for that, when you physically, mentally,
13:11 your muscle memory,
13:13 if you don't play or train in that way,
13:16 your chances of performing are very low.
13:20 So I think,
13:22 we talk about workload separately,
13:24 but playing in the wrong format,
13:26 and especially before such big events,
13:29 instead of our players playing cricket for 50 overs,
13:33 or playing a 100 ball game for 4 hours,
13:36 I think this is a reason,
13:38 if we keep an eye on these things,
13:40 and plan, and management has a lot of work to do,
13:42 which player, in which format,
13:45 how much bowling, how much travelling,
13:48 until we sort out these things,
13:50 our players' fitness,
13:52 and our players' performance,
13:54 will be improved, not better.
13:58 Now the million dollar question,
14:00 about captaincy,
14:02 how do you see the captaincy of Akbar Azam?
14:04 Because he hasn't been a very effective captain in the Asia Cup,
14:08 so what would you say about that?
14:10 His captaincy,
14:13 or his captaincy,
14:15 wasn't as good as it should be,
14:17 over the period of time.
14:19 Because it's been a long time since he was a captain of the Pakistan team.
14:22 And it's not his fault,
14:24 the Pakistan Cricket Board has announced him as a captain,
14:27 if asked,
14:29 he should talk to the Pakistan Cricket Board about this,
14:31 and other decisions,
14:34 like the toss,
14:36 the Pakistan team bowling in Sri Lanka,
14:39 and other decisions,
14:41 even during the match,
14:43 you have 50 over,
14:45 3 hours,
14:47 and more than that,
14:49 and it's not like,
14:51 in modern day cricket,
14:53 it's a fast way,
14:55 that the messages go from outside,
14:57 and the bowling changes,
14:59 and that's a part of the plan.
15:01 Yes, you can discuss whether it's right or wrong,
15:04 but you can't blame one person,
15:06 and that's Babar Azam, who is the captain,
15:08 that Babar Azam made a wrong decision,
15:10 that's a little wrong,
15:12 and we should understand that,
15:14 these decisions,
15:16 are not made by one person,
15:18 but by the entire team management,
15:20 even the director of cricket,
15:22 Micky Arthur,
15:24 he makes the plans from there,
15:26 which are then given to the Pakistan team,
15:28 and Babar Azam executes them,
15:30 and to blame it on Babar Azam,
15:32 who is the captain,
15:34 and the Pakistan team plays badly,
15:36 or the Pakistan team doesn't perform,
15:38 that's a little wrong,
15:40 and we should understand that,
15:42 this is a team game,
15:44 and the decisions are made,
15:46 by one person,
15:48 and we should think about that.
15:50 Absolutely right,
15:52 an individual is not responsible,
15:54 for everything,
15:56 and that's a little wrong,
15:58 and the last question is,
16:00 what mistakes has the Pakistan team,
16:02 made in the Asia Cup,
16:04 which we shouldn't repeat,
16:06 if we want to perform well in the World Cup?
16:08 The way the team is going to the World Cup,
16:12 there are a few days left,
16:14 and then there are two matches,
16:16 which are very important,
16:18 and very tough matches,
16:20 and I think that,
16:22 the Pakistan team will benefit,
16:24 from playing against good teams,
16:26 and preparing well,
16:28 and to make the final 11,
16:30 it will be easier for them,
16:32 and now,
16:34 as I said earlier,
16:36 there can't be any technical things,
16:38 and now the management should,
16:40 create an environment,
16:42 where the pressure from outside,
16:44 should be kept away from the players,
16:46 and should avoid social media,
16:48 and the team should be,
16:50 a little more,
16:52 careful,
16:54 and it's a very strange thing,
16:56 that when Pakistani players,
16:58 are leaving for the match,
17:00 and the Asia Cup is going on,
17:02 and people don't even hand over their phones,
17:04 to their security,
17:06 and from there also,
17:08 people feel like they are getting,
17:10 tweets and good luck,
17:12 and this should be kept away from,
17:14 the Pakistani players,
17:16 and the social media,
17:18 should be less,
17:20 and should focus on cricket,
17:22 and the fitness of the players,
17:24 and an environment,
17:26 where the players should be relaxed,
17:28 and fresh,
17:30 because it's a long event,
17:32 and you have to play,
17:34 with different teams,
17:36 and your performances will be,
17:38 ups and downs,
17:40 so it's important to handle,
17:42 all those things,
17:44 and the Pakistani management,
17:46 should make sure that the players,
17:48 are fresh,
17:50 and they go for the performance.
17:52 Thank you so much for your time,
17:54 Yasir spoke about important things,
17:56 and the main thing is that,
17:58 this event is very long,
18:00 so you have to keep your mind fresh,
18:02 and focus on the game,
18:04 and take care of your fitness,
18:06 only then the Pakistani team,
18:08 can do something good.
18:10 Let's talk about the flop show,
18:12 in the Asian Games,
18:14 first they had to face Sri Lanka,
18:16 and then in the third position match,
18:18 Bengal Tigers also,
18:20 and they lost to India,
18:22 and it was a huge disappointment,
18:24 in the Asian Games.
18:26 That's all for today,
18:28 I am Najeeb Ul Hussain,
18:30 signing off,
18:32 Allah Hafiz.
