00:00Hello and welcome to Sports Room. I am your host, Najeeb Alasnain.
00:04In the leadership of Shadab Khan,
00:06the Panthers took down the Markhor and scored 123 runs in just 18 overs.
00:12I have with me Sports Correspondent Shahid Hashmi.
00:15Hello, Mr. Shahid.
00:16Hello.
00:17The Panthers have scored 123 runs in just 18 overs.
00:21The Panthers have scored 123 runs in just 18 overs.
00:25I have with me Sports Correspondent Shahid Hashmi.
00:28Hello, Mr. Shahid.
00:29The Panthers have shown us the way.
00:31There is no chase.
00:32They said it's a very easy way.
00:33If you score early, you'll get chased.
00:35They got chased twice in this event.
00:37They defeated this team with 7 wickets in the qualifier.
00:40Then they defeated them in the final with 5 wickets.
00:42The total is the key.
00:44You have to score early and then you can score.
00:46Exactly. They were out in the first match at 137.
00:50They lost and then they lost.
00:52Markhor supported the Panthers.
00:56Yes, exactly.
00:57The team won by the nature's best player, Sakhlend Mushtaq.
01:01His son-in-law, Shadab, made the strategy together.
01:05Outing on a low score,
01:07the credit that goes to the Dolphins,
01:10the credit that goes to the Panthers,
01:12the same discredit goes to Markhor.
01:14They lost 8 wickets in the final at just 40 runs.
01:18A player like Fakhar, like Iftikhar,
01:20who takes long runs,
01:22everyone was praising Abdul Samad.
01:25Yesterday was a crucial day.
01:26He was out on zero yesterday.
01:28You can guess the mental strength of these players
01:31and how they grabbed opportunities on that big occasion.
01:35That means he was out on zero.
01:36Similarly, in the Panthers,
01:38Haider Ali, whom we have high hopes from.
01:40He's been so talented for a long time.
01:42He got a chance and he was out on zero yesterday.
01:45The Panthers said,
01:47you're right, if you score less, you'll get chased.
01:49If you scored 240 or 250, the Panthers would've been in trouble.
01:53They would've been in trouble.
01:54The problem with our senior team is the same.
01:57If you're losing wickets,
02:00you can't handle the situation.
02:04You can't chase.
02:05Is this the problem with the senior team?
02:07It's all the same. We don't take singles.
02:09We don't rotate strikes.
02:11We have a problem with our fielding.
02:13We can't grab big occasions.
02:15We can't chase.
02:16We open up the field after one or two quarters.
02:18All these problems of Pakistan Cricket have been exposed.
02:22Now, the Pakistan Cricket Board,
02:24the domestic tournament that is being held,
02:25Nadeem Khan, the mentors, everyone should be made aware
02:29that this is our problem.
02:31We saw this again in the Champions Cup.
02:33We can either change the name of the Champions Cup
02:35and change it to Pakistan Cup.
02:37Pakistan's team is the champions.
02:39We didn't see that.
02:40We didn't see those things
02:41that can take Pakistan to a strong point.
02:44Let's give them a chance.
02:46Since this was the first tournament,
02:47you can try it out on a trial basis.
02:49But if it doesn't improve,
02:51in the upcoming tournaments,
02:52the next tournament is a one-day cup
02:55called the President Cup.
02:56If you don't see any improvement in those tournaments,
02:59then it will be a loss.
03:00That's right.
03:01We were talking about Shadab Khan.
03:03Shadab Khan said that he is a very emotional nation.
03:07He decides the captains of a bad event.
03:10What did he have to say? Let's see.
03:13We start things quickly.
03:15If someone wins a tournament,
03:16we make him the captain.
03:17If someone else wins, we make him the captain.
03:18I don't think that's how it should be.
03:19As a nation, we are an emotional nation.
03:21When we get results, we go up.
03:23When we don't get results, we come down.
03:26We keep zigzagging.
03:27We don't have the results.
03:28Our attitude is bad.
03:29We have to show that on the ground.
03:31If you ask me, as a bowler,
03:33I need a lot of skill improvement.
03:34You have to prove yourself at any stage of the game.
03:37It's an extra burden when you are an experienced player.
03:39Some things are right.
03:40We get very emotional.
03:42Some things are that it's not like
03:44if we talk about a captain,
03:46we gave him a lot of chances.
03:48Because he was the main player.
03:50We gave him a lot of chances.
03:51Babur Azam was the captain since 2019.
03:54Shadab said the same thing.
03:55Iftikhar said the same thing.
03:56The media puts him on the bench for a few innings.
03:58He thinks his position is in danger.
04:00Abdul Samad was praised a lot.
04:02Iftikhar thinks his position is in danger.
04:04This media brings you in the team.
04:07When you perform badly,
04:09this media brings you out of the team.
04:11But the decision is not made by the media.
04:13It's based on your performance.
04:15It's based on your performance.
04:16The selection committee does it.
04:17The media is responsible.
04:19The selection committee of the Pakistan Cricket Board is responsible.
04:22What did Shadab say about Iftikhar?
04:24Iftikhar's opinion is a one-sided opinion.
04:26If you have the courage,
04:27you should take the name of the selection committee.
04:29Let's show them what Iftikhar said.
04:34Babur has to take his place.
04:35He has to perform in this field.
04:38I say this to all of you.
04:39You take so many loopers in one innings.
04:42Let them top in domestic cricket.
04:43Then you talk about Pakistan.
04:45You take them here in one innings.
04:47When they fail in Pakistan,
04:49how did you bring them here?
04:50I am not against anyone.
04:51Give respect to domestic cricket.
04:54We should make better wickets for one day.
04:56Think about the world for 400 in international cricket.
04:59Our strike rate is already low at the international level.
05:02That preparation starts from here.
05:04Then you get confidence
05:06when you deliver in international cricket.
05:08The most amazing thing about this is
05:10that if people don't become stars in one or two innings,
05:13then Iftikhar wouldn't have been in the Pakistan team.
05:14Because he is only on one or two performances.
05:16Basit Ali told me that he is a very good player in the list.
05:22When Basit Ali was coaching,
05:23we always said that he is a very good player in the list.
05:26He should get a chance.
05:27The media says that
05:29when you take the notice of the selection committee.
05:32But we are not a part of the media
05:34that makes someone a star in one or two innings.
05:36We have always said in our programs
05:41that if a player has scored well in a domestic season,
05:44in the entire domestic tournament,
05:45then he should be put in the A team.
05:47If he scores well in the A team,
05:49then he should be put in the Pakistan team.
05:51And he should definitely be seen in one or two seasons.
05:53It is possible that in one season,
05:54he gets a good inform or a purple patch.
05:57And in the next season, he doesn't do anything at all.
06:00So the more the media makes and the more the media spoils,
06:03there is also the fault of the selection committee.
06:06They are equally responsible for putting pressure on someone.
06:09But the point is that they should think about what they are talking about.
06:13Iftikhar has got so many chances in the whiteboard.
06:15After getting so many chances,
06:16you yourself came and said a few days ago that you are a tail ender.
06:18There is a problem with Iftikhar.
06:20And he keeps saying that if he is sent up in one-day cricket,
06:24at number four,
06:25then it takes a little time to set.
06:27After that, he is very destructive.
06:29But you didn't finish the matches.
06:31No, I didn't.
06:32If your performance is going bad, then you should cry about it.
06:34You should say that you are a tail ender and you are not a top-order player.
06:39This is wrong.
06:40There was a match in India, in the P20 World Cup,
06:42in which due to the combination of right and left,
06:45Imad Waseem was sent up.
06:50Iftikhar came in at number seven.
06:51But Iftikhar had a complete chance to win the match.
06:55Saying that you are a tail ender and you can't win the match
06:58and the media makes you a star in one inning.
07:00Now they feel that one or two star media
07:02and other people are saying that Abdul Samad is good.
07:04So, now their position is in danger, Iftikhar.
07:06That's right.
07:07Let's quickly see the performers of this event.
07:10And the top runners and the top wicket takers.
07:13So, let's start with the most runs of Champions One Day Cup.
07:17Usman Khan is at the top.
07:19Kamran Ghulam is at number two.
07:20Tayyab Tahir is at number three.
07:22Babur Azam is at number four.
07:23And Saim Ayub is at the last number.
07:25So, these are the top five batters.
07:27Mr. Shahid, I think that when we see Kamran Ghulam,
07:31we feel sad that a boy is continuously performing
07:34and he is not getting a chance.
07:35You are spoiling his confidence.
07:37In the last two matches, I have seen that
07:40when the team doesn't get a name,
07:41he plays in a disheartened manner.
07:43Of course, it happens that you are performing well
07:45and then suddenly the announcement of the test team comes.
07:48They say that if you don't get a name, you become disheartened.
07:51So, today, even in the press conference from Shaan Masood,
07:53the question was, why not Kamran Akma?
07:55Kamran Ghulam.
07:57So, today, my name is getting spoiled a lot.
07:59So, why not Kamran Ghulam?
08:02So, he said that it is a part of his scheme.
08:04But, in a way, it is also true that
08:07Saud Shakeel is in the middle order,
08:08Babur Azam and Salman Agha are in the middle order.
08:11So, instead of these three...
08:12The question is, Mr. Shahid,
08:14where has Shaan Masood played all his life?
08:16Has he played in the open?
08:18Abdullah Shafiq is not performing.
08:19Can Shaan go back to the open?
08:21Can Kamran come down?
08:23This question was asked to Abdullah Shafiq as well.
08:25And Abdullah Shafiq never said that his average was fine.
08:28In this early part of his career,
08:31he has published a lot of features
08:34that he was just as good as Kohli when he started.
08:38But, Kohli went ahead and did well in his career.
08:41So, Abdullah Shafiq is a good player.
08:43But, it is true that we don't have the patience.
08:47You will have to show patience with Shaan Masood as well.
08:49The results of Pakistan won't be good for a year and a half.
08:52You can do anything.
08:53You can chop and change.
08:55You can do anything.
08:56So, that is true to an extent.
08:58You will have to show a little patience.
09:00Where was the patience?
09:01When they removed Imam Ul Haq, there was no patience.
09:03It was the same performance.
09:05Both times, Imam Ul Haq was out of the Australia series.
09:08He was out. Who does good in Australia that the imam does?
09:11When you have to show patience for someone,
09:13you have a lot of patience.
09:15Yes, if you want to keep this artistry,
09:17then you have to keep it for all the players.
09:19By showing patience, we are maintaining our patience.
09:21And now, let's see how long this patience will last.
09:23For the Pakistani nation, for the Pakistan cricket board,
09:26for the Pakistani selectors.
09:27These three tests are in England.
09:29They are from England.
09:30And two tests are from South Africa.
09:32These five tests will be very difficult.
09:34That's right. We have to take a break.
09:35Before we go, let's see the winner of the Champions Cup.
09:38The prize of three crore rupees.
09:40One and a half crore rupees from Markhor.
09:42And Sajid Khan was declared the hero of the final.
09:46And Mohammad Hasnain, player of the tournament
09:49for his fantastic bowling.
09:51He scored 17 wickets in this tournament.
09:53Usman Khan was an excellent wicket-keeper.
09:56And Ali Raza, an emerging player of the tournament.
09:59Let's take a break here.
10:00Don't go anywhere. We'll be right back.
10:17Glad to have you back once again to Sports Room.
10:19And the Champions Cup has come to an end.
10:21Now, there is a big test.
10:23There is a series against England.
10:25For which, Captain Shaan Masood believes
10:27that he hasn't played good cricket this year.
10:29But England is well-prepared for the series.
10:32There won't be any compromise regarding fitness.
10:34What did he have to say? Let's watch.
10:37In challenging conditions,
10:38England can enter the series with a managed workload
10:41and a fresh body.
10:43Being a leader, I think, accountability is important.
10:45It never feels good when your team loses.
10:48Especially when your country loses.
10:49Results-wise, we didn't get that in the Bangladesh series.
10:52There were a lot of mistakes that we committed as a side.
10:55And we will have to learn from them.
10:56We have set non-negotiable fitness standards and values.
11:00There won't be any compromise on that.
11:02If we want to become a better test team,
11:04our physical and mental fitness should be
11:06the same as that of the world's top teams.
11:08What I saw in Australia and Bangladesh,
11:10I don't think I saw a lack of unity or the efforts of the boys.
11:15If there is a keeper, it is Sir Faraz Ahmed.
11:18His performances, even he was out of concussion from the team.
11:22He gave a lot of performances in his comeback.
11:25Mr. Shahid, you were present in this press conference.
11:28You talk very well.
11:30It seems like you are listening to poetry.
11:32You speak very well.
11:33But when will those things apply?
11:35Saying that there won't be any compromise on fitness.
11:38Our fitness has been exposed so badly in this one-day tournament.
11:42We have seen where we are standing.
11:44Secondly, we will learn from our mistakes.
11:46I have been hearing this sentence from the last four captains.
11:48We are not learning anything.
11:49Shahan's pride is that he speaks very well.
11:52But he will have to show runs in his runs column.
11:566, 14, 57 and 28.
11:59These are not the scores that anyone can expect from a captain or a number three.
12:03He has the realization that if he doesn't make a run,
12:07he won't be able to inspire.
12:08Now we will have to show patience.
12:12If we don't show it, then we will chop and change.
12:14This is absolutely right.
12:16But as a nation, whether it is our fans,
12:19our cricket board, we are patient.
12:21We can't do it.
12:23The time we give to Ben Stokes, Joe Root, England...
12:27I have a question, Shahid.
12:28Or India, we can't give it.
12:30If our results are still bad,
12:32bad in England's series, South Africa's series,
12:35then we will start seeing chop and change.
12:38The teams that you are talking about,
12:40England gives time to Zack Crowley.
12:43She was winning matches.
12:44It's not like she is losing because of Zack Crowley.
12:47When Joe Root was there,
12:48he won half of the 27 test matches.
12:51He didn't lose to Bangladesh.
12:53He didn't lose to the USA.
12:55He lost to West Indies.
12:56But he has become a veteran.
12:59He has to lose to small teams.
13:00We performed badly in the home ground.
13:02What do you mean by home and away?
13:04There are big factors.
13:05We won test matches in Sri Lanka.
13:07I am talking about the same thing.
13:09We don't win in Australia.
13:10We go to England and give them a fight.
13:12We don't win in South Africa.
13:14India doesn't play with us.
13:15In Australia, we wasted a good opportunity
13:18in the last two test matches.
13:20Everyone praised Pakistan for playing well in the last two tests.
13:25Pakistan should have won both the tests.
13:27Poor fielding, poor fitness,
13:29and our lack of game awareness.
13:32Mr. Shahid, look at this.
13:33We are losing matches that we won in Muhammad Yusuf's era.
13:36This will never change.
13:38In 2010, we were losing the Sydney test.
13:40There were questions raised about it.
13:41We were accused of it.
13:43Our captain was also weak.
13:45We are losing matches like this.
13:47But in the last one or two years,
13:49especially in the home series,
13:51from the Australia series,
13:52we planned to...
13:54There was a good question today.
13:57We are harming ourselves to nullify the opponent's strong points.
14:03We still don't understand what our home advantage is.
14:06If our home advantage is against England,
14:09we should make a spin track.
14:11We should play more spinners.
14:13But then the question arises,
14:15who will play our batsmen?
14:16The spinners of the opponent team are better than us.
14:18The spinners of the opponent team are good.
14:20Babar Azam plays well.
14:21Abdullah Shafiq has proved it in Sri Lanka.
14:24Saud Shakeel plays well with spinners.
14:26But we are not getting the result
14:29because of which our team is ahead.
14:31Until we get good results,
14:33as they say, don't show me the plan.
14:35Show me the result.
14:36Exactly. Thank you very much, Mr. Shahid Rashmi.
14:39We have a lot to talk about the England series.
14:41That's all for today.
14:42I will take your leave now.
14:44Take care of yourselves.
14:45Goodbye.
