00:00Viewers, as you know, Pakistan has announced its squad for the Bangladesh test series.
00:06And Shaheen has also been announced. We will talk about that too.
00:11Sahoo Shaqeel Shaheen Shah Afridi's replacement is Naib Captain Mukarrar.
00:15Our sports correspondent Shahid Hashmi is present in the studio.
00:17Mr. Shahid, Assalam-o-Alaikum. Welcome to the show.
00:19Walaikum Assalam.
00:20Mr. Shahid, looking at this squad, the first question that comes up is why 17?
00:27When you have a home series, 15 is more than enough.
00:31Outside, there are 13-13.
00:32According to me, it should be 18.
00:34But isn't 17 too much?
00:36Okay. You are giving chances to the players of domestic cricket.
00:40Hureyra has come, Kamran Ghulam has come. They are good things.
00:43And some Australian colours are also visible.
00:46It is obvious that Gillespie will be included as an input.
00:48Damien Hough has come as a curator.
00:50So, that's why the pace is loaded.
00:53There are 6 fast bowlers. Only one front line has come in this.
00:55Okay. That's my next question.
00:56Is there only one spinner? Is that enough?
00:59The second spinner, Salman Ali Agha, is being considered.
01:03Agha Salman was doing off-break bowling.
01:05He is a good spinner.
01:06He is a good spinner.
01:06He is a good spinner.
01:08But it is obvious that you cannot call him a front line spinner.
01:10True.
01:10Sajid Khan was on the tour of Australia.
01:13Noman was there. Noman could not even play.
01:15Maybe he went to Australia to get his appendix operated.
01:18So, he is not even that.
01:21So, one front line spinner is an Australian mentality.
01:24Four fast bowlers or three fast bowlers and one spinner.
01:27Australian mentality will be used in Australia.
01:30We have brought a curator from Australia to make past pitches.
01:34Let's see what happens.
01:35It is a good recipe to defeat Bangladesh.
01:37That you will go with fast bowlers.
01:39Because they have been playing left-arm spinners since childhood.
01:41That is true.
01:42They have 200-300 left-arm spinners at home all the time.
01:46And the second thing is that it is not such a big challenge.
01:49So, you can take the risk that you are taking.
01:52But the missing factor here is...
01:54When you dropped Imamul Haq, wasn't Saim Ayub lucky that he got a chance?
01:58Saim has played only one test match.
02:00And in one test match, his score was 0 and 33.
02:03So, he cannot drop in just one test match.
02:05But according to me, you dropped Imam on the basis of just one series.
02:10He is a good player. His average score is 37-38.
02:13Absolutely.
02:13Abdullah Shafiq's style is better.
02:17He tries to play fast.
02:18His average score is around 44.
02:20But in the last test match, Abdullah Shafiq is also a pair in Sydney.
02:240 in both the innings.
02:25Absolutely.
02:26He is a good player.
02:27And he has always been selected based on his potential.
02:30Instead of being selected based on his performance.
02:33Misbah, Mansoor, everyone praised him because he has potential.
02:37But he is not showing that bravery and mindset.
02:41He will have to develop that.
02:42Because if a player is good...
02:44Like you can see, the England team selects Harry Brooks based on his potential.
02:49Like they selected Saqib Basheer and Tom Hartley based on their potential.
02:51They showed their potential.
02:53We were talking about Saim Ayub.
02:55He was also selected based on his potential.
02:57In T20 as well.
02:59But he was not able to do anything.
03:01He was getting established with Imam.
03:03Coincidentally, even after the 2019 tour, he dropped in Australia.
03:09He came back and made century in each innings against Australia in Pindi.
03:12Even though the pitch was very straight.
03:14But still, century in each innings is a big achievement.
03:18When you look at this team, do you feel sorry for Saabzada Farhan?
03:24Saabzada Farhan had a chance.
03:26The team that went to Australia, Shaheen's team.
03:29In that, there was a competition between two players.
03:34One was Muhammad Huraira and the other was Saabzada Farhan.
03:36Huraira scored a double hundred.
03:38He did a good batting. He impressed Gillespie.
03:40Saabzada Farhan scored 50 for one or two good innings.
03:44He scored a 64 as well.
03:46Saabzada Farhan lost the first four or five innings.
03:48If he had won there, the coach would have thought that he has to adjust.
03:54Saabzada Farhan has been performing well for the last 2-3 years.
03:58But he didn't get a chance.
04:00This is also a problem.
04:02When your two openers, Abid Ali, couldn't come back.
04:04Even though Abid Ali's performance was good.
04:06He had a heart problem and couldn't come back to the team.
04:08Similarly, Imam Ul Haq has gone back.
04:10So now Huraira will get a chance.
04:12Or Kamran Ghulam. Kamran Ghulam is a middle order player.
04:14This means that in the first test match,
04:16it is likely that Huraira and Shahan will open.
04:18You gave a chance to Huraira.
04:20Similarly, in the middle order,
04:22Saud Shakeel and Agha Salman are solid.
04:24Agha did a very good batting in Australia.
04:26Though he couldn't score a long score.
04:28But he scored 50s.
04:30So where will you accommodate Kamran Ghulam?
04:32If you win the first test,
04:34you will try 2-3 extra players in the next test match.
04:36That's why I am saying.
04:38You are confusing yourself as well.
04:40Where will you give these boys a chance?
04:42Secondly, if we are talking about Saabzada Farhan,
04:44he didn't do so well.
04:46He was performing well overall.
04:48So why isn't he in Shaheen?
04:50You didn't keep him in that team as well.
04:52A lot of players who are playing in the Pakistan team,
04:54are playing in Shaheen as well.
04:56Yes, he should have been in Shaheen.
04:58He has scored regularly in all three formats
05:00of domestic cricket.
05:02So on the basis of one tour,
05:04if you are not keeping Saabzada Farhan,
05:06this is also unfair to him.
05:08Then we talked about Omar Ameen.
05:10You gave the right example of
05:12a player who retired after playing
05:1497 test matches.
05:16Bad luck to him.
05:18When he made his debut in 2010,
05:20he was a very promising player.
05:22He played 1 day, T20.
05:24But he couldn't cement his place.
05:26Similarly, there is a player
05:28on whom I am very disappointed.
05:30He is Sohaib Maqsood.
05:32He is so talented.
05:34When he came, people said that he is a commoner.
05:36Maybe it was because of Multan.
05:38In Multan, you get Sohan Halwa as well.
05:42But he couldn't justify himself.
05:44He got good chances as well.
05:46Similarly, Omar Ameen.
05:48He was a talented player.
05:50There was a time when people were talking
05:52about making him the captain.
05:54I remember very well.
05:56There are 7 wicket keepers in Shaheen's team.
05:58There will be a lot of talk about this.
06:00What is Haseebullah's fault?
06:02I like Saab. He is my schoolmate.
06:04I think he has a good future.
06:06But Haseebullah...
06:08He is a junior to you.
06:10It happens with a lot of players.
06:12They go on one tour and drop out
06:14from the next tour.
06:16The selectors should also see
06:18that they have kept a player on one tour.
06:20They should give him one more chance.
06:22It is not right to keep him out
06:24after one tour.
06:26There is an example of Zach Crawley.
06:28Despite his criticism,
06:30Brendan McCullum and his selection committee
06:32gave him a chance.
06:34Tawseed Ahmed has joined us.
06:36Let's hear what he has to say
06:38about these teams.
06:40Yes, Tawseed.
06:42Shaheed has heard a lot.
06:44Shaheed has said
06:46that it is fine.
06:48But if it was like this,
06:50there are 17 players.
06:52There could have been 18.
06:54They could have made another season.
06:56They could have made Saabzada.
06:58Farhan.
07:00The team overall is fine.
07:02They are the same players.
07:04They have changed a lot.
07:06But I think
07:08Farhan should get a chance.
07:10He should get a chance.
07:12The way he got a chance there,
07:14he should get a chance there as well.
07:16He is a performer.
07:18If he is not here,
07:20even if he is removed from Shaheed,
07:22it is not right.
07:24I think it is all up to the analyst.
07:26He is a performer as well.
07:28I think
07:30they have
07:32handled it.
07:34They have tried to
07:36handle the problems.
07:38Two wicket keepers have come.
07:40Shaheed has also come.
07:42They have tried to
07:44handle
07:46the controversies
07:48that were happening.
07:50They have tried to
07:52handle it.
07:54It is good.
07:56It is a good thing.
07:58They have not tried
08:00to upset anyone.
08:02They have brought everyone in.
08:04Like you said,
08:06it is their place.
08:08If there were a few more quarter matches,
08:10maybe someone else would have got a chance.
08:12But if Saab is backed,
08:14then what will
08:16Sarfaraz do?
08:18We have to see that.
08:20I don't know about
08:22the two wicket keepers.
08:24Let me talk to Shaheed about this.
08:26Stay with us.
08:28A lot of people
08:30object to the two wicket keepers.
08:32But because of concussion,
08:34you have to send
08:36the other wicket keeper.
08:38You can't go to a test match.
08:40You can call him
08:42in the home series.
08:44But Sarfaraz
08:46was a player of this series
08:48in the New Zealand series.
08:50You can't remove him.
08:52One test match went wrong
08:54and then Rizwan came.
08:56Rizwan gave a good performance.
08:58So this competition should continue.
09:00But the question is about Shaheed.
09:02What is Sarfaraz's role in Shaheed?
09:04If you have Saad Baig,
09:06would you have kept any other youngster?
09:08They want some test team players
09:10to play with the test team
09:12so that they get a chance to practice.
09:14That's why Bangladesh
09:16has kept Mushfiq-ur-Rahim
09:18and Momin-ul-Haq
09:20in their A team.
09:22Before the test match,
09:24they can practice on the Pakistani ground.
09:26It's not a bad idea.
09:28But you gave a chance to Bhasibullah.
09:30He left the tour and came back.
09:32It's not consistent.
09:34What would you say about the spinners?
09:36Pakistan team with only one spinner
09:38and the rest are fast bowlers.
09:40First of all,
09:42I would like to say
09:44that Saad Baig will be out
09:46if they want to practice.
09:48If they play,
09:50it's not good.
09:52But here, it's managed.
09:54And Rizwan
09:56didn't play.
09:58Sarfaraz did play
10:00for a day or two.
10:02But Sarfaraz was out
10:04in the first try.
10:06So, I think
10:08it's managed there as well.
10:10You can call him
10:12whenever you want.
10:14It's not necessary.
10:16It's happening in Pakistan.
10:18You went to Pakistan
10:20and played for a day or two.
10:22So, I think
10:24it's managed.
10:26It's good
10:28if it's managed
10:30in this way.
10:32It's a good thing.
10:34But the spinners,
10:36yes,
10:38when Bangladesh
10:40trapped him
10:42in fast bowling
10:44and you still put
10:46the spinners aside.
10:48So,
10:50Noman's performance
10:52was good.
10:54He didn't play
10:56in Australia.
10:58His performance was good.
11:00But the age factor
11:02is still there.
11:04So,
11:06you were
11:08talking about
11:10Shaheen.
11:12Umar Ameen
11:14I don't know
11:16the pressure.
11:18I don't understand.
11:20Anyway, it's managed.
11:22But I think
11:24it's not a bad team.
11:26It's a good team.
11:28They didn't take him
11:30to work with fast bowlers.
11:32To keep a young wicket-keeper
11:34in my opinion,
11:36if you give a positive justification,
11:38he is a part of the atmosphere
11:40of Shaheen
11:42and Pakistan.
11:44Damien Martin
11:46took him for 3 years
11:48and didn't let him play in Australia.
11:50Ricky Ponting was also there
11:52to give a test team
11:54and an international atmosphere.
11:56Thank you, Tauseef.
11:58Before the break,
12:00one last question.
12:02When this team was announced,
12:04we came to know that
12:06there was no surgery.
12:08There was a disciplinary committee
12:10that will decide.
12:12We used to laugh at Shaheen's social media
12:14that he will be banned for a year.
12:16I don't know what will happen.
12:18Everything happened.
12:20I think if we had reached the semi-final
12:22of the World Cup,
12:24it wouldn't have been such a good scene.
12:26Everything has been suppressed
12:28and we are moving forward.
12:30Former Prime Minister Chaudhary Shujaad Hussain
12:32has a famous saying,
12:34move forward.
12:36Pakistan's performance in the World Cup
12:38is not good.
12:40You can ban him or sack him.
12:42You can go positive with him.
12:44Your performance was bad.
12:46You lost 2 matches.
12:48You could have won both.
12:50If you had won both,
12:52there would have been no need for surgery.
12:54The difference between a pass and a fail
12:56is this.
12:58A big reporter told us
13:00that the chairman
13:02didn't use the word surgery.
13:04This is a media invention.
13:06The chairman never used
13:08the word surgery.
13:10The point is
13:12whether there was a surgery or not.
13:14There should have been questions
13:16and press conferences.
13:18There should have been answers
13:20given to the public.
13:22People didn't follow this
13:24because of the situation in Pakistan.
13:26The main thing should have been
13:28that the captain of Uganda
13:30gave a service,
13:32the coach of England was removed,
13:34the captain was left.
13:36Andrew Matthews apologized
13:38for leaving
13:40Silverwood and Sri Lankan coaching.
13:42Kane Williamson left the captaincy.
13:44You should have
13:46given a statement
13:48to Babar Azam and Garry Custon
13:50that these things are wrong.
13:52The things that are coming out
13:54are like arrogance.
13:56You hid it.
13:58You put it under the carpet.
14:00It's done.
14:02You succeeded in it.
14:04Moving on.
14:06Business as usual.
