00:00Rizwan, Assalam-o-Alaikum.

00:23Assalam-o-Alaikum.

00:25How historic is this moment for Pakistan's cricket, for Pakistan's cricket team,

00:30that we are hosting an ICC Global event after such a long time?

00:34I think the whole nation should enjoy this.

00:40The event that we are hosting after 29 years,

00:43and the way we are preparing for it, the way it has been done,

00:47the way Qazafi Stadium has been built, National Stadium has been built,

00:50it has been built in record time,

00:52so we should praise these things.

00:54And the way we have come to the Champions Trophy,

00:56the whole nation should enjoy it.

00:58Because everyone knows that during this time,

01:01we have had to face a lot of difficult times, in between.

01:05But Allah has given us a lot of achievements even in between.

01:08Our team, as you can see, we have won the Champions Trophy,

01:11Alhamdulillah, we have become the world number one in the test,

01:14and we have won the finals together.

01:17So, Alhamdulillah, even during this difficult time,

01:19our nation, Pakistan, has made a lot of achievements.

01:23And because of this, it is obvious that our nation, Alhamdulillah,

01:26is very strong, capable, to do everything.

01:29But when the Champions Trophy comes, Alhamdulillah, in our home,

01:32then we will all enjoy it together.

01:35Inshallah, I hope that more best results will come from ICC.

01:40Rizwan, the nation is enjoying it,

01:43but what expectations do you have from the Pakistan team,

01:46and what is the update about Haris?

01:49Look, we have always been saying that,

01:55if you look at it now,

01:58our team, all the procedures that are going on behind us,

02:02like I said, we have suffered for 10 years,

02:04no team has come to Pakistan.

02:06But even during that time, Pakistan has given a very good result to Pakistan, Alhamdulillah.

02:10So, there should be no doubt that we do not have the abilities,

02:14we do not have the players, we do not have the things.

02:16But yes, we can say that we may have shortcomings on the day,

02:19we cannot play according to our ability,

02:22we may have a weakness there,

02:24because of which the other team can win the match.

02:27So, we are trying, Inshallah, that our shortcomings are fulfilled,

02:30and the results are good for Pakistan.

02:32The second thing is about Haris Roof,

02:34yesterday he bowled 80%,

02:376 or 8, something like that.

02:40A day before that, he bowled 60%,

02:44today he is bowling with full rhythm,

02:46he has put a lot of effort in the gym,

02:48and he is saying that he does not have any problem.

02:53So, Alhamdulillah, I hope that he is fully fit, Inshallah.

02:55Mr. Rizwan, you said that Pakistan is going to host the ICC event after a long time.

03:00This is your 5th ICC tournament, Shaheen's 6th, and Babar's 7th tournament.

03:06And you are three important players of the Pakistan team,

03:08who won the World Cup in Pakistan 92,

03:10whether they won it in 2009 or in 2017,

03:13there was a lot of individual brilliance.

03:15So, what are you three thinking about

03:18to convert your memorable performance to Pakistan's victory?

03:21Yes, yes, absolutely.

03:23Basically, the problem is that,

03:25when we win,

03:27for me, the happiest time is when your whole team is involved in the performance where I win.

03:34But sometimes, for some time, it happens that

03:36our individual performances are the ones that make Pakistan win.

03:39Right now, the focus is,

03:41as I said in the beginning,

03:43my 15 out of 15 players are Pakistani captains.

03:47I only go to Assam for you guys, for the task,

03:49because everyone's opinion is the same.

03:51In our meetings as well,

03:53it is said that our players are from Platinum or Emerging.

03:55When they enter the ground, they are the same.

03:58Yes, what you are saying is absolutely right,

04:00that we should have a little more burden,

04:03that we are the senior players of the team,

04:05we should take responsibility,

04:06and perform in the same way for Pakistan.

04:09Okay, Rizwan,

04:11regarding the opening pair,

04:13you played matches with Zahirbad Wahab,

04:15it is being said that you are very satisfied with this pair,

04:19and when the matches start, you will go with this pair.

04:21There are some news that there may be some changes,

04:23that South Shaqeel is going to be like this,

04:25so what will you say about this?

04:26Look, the news can be given by Wahhabi people.

04:29Anyway, look, opinions,

04:31we have options, sorry,

04:33we have options, isn't it?

04:35We have options, isn't it?

04:37But anyway, if you look at your condition,

04:39and look at the team,

04:41then Babar opens.

04:43And I think, we don't know,

04:45maybe there is something that Babar is not doing,

04:47so Allah willing, Babar is satisfied,

04:49he will do it, Inshallah.

04:51If by God's will, something like this happens,

04:53we have, in this tournament,

04:55all 3 and 2, Inshallah, we have 5 matches.

04:57So when there are only 5 matches,

04:59then for 5 matches, what do we say,

05:00we don't do it like this,

05:01that when we go to New Zealand, Babar opens.

05:03So we have to bring genuine openers,

05:05not that we don't want to,

05:07but what we,

05:09that day also I said in the press,

05:11that the whole program was like this,

05:13that this is our home condition,

05:15and in the middle, we needed a left-right combination,

05:17and we needed an option to tackle the spinner,

05:19so because of that, we didn't keep an opener on the basis of that.

05:21We thought that Babar should do it,

05:23he is the most solid technical player,

05:25so he should do it from the front,

05:27so everything was behind this,

05:29and Inshallah he will do it.

05:31When we won the Champions Trophy in 2017,

05:33because in 2017 also,

05:35when we entered the Champions Trophy,

05:37no one was rating that Pakistan will win this tournament,

05:39so how much motivation do we get,

05:41that whenever,

05:43in fact in the past also,

05:45whenever the Pakistan team was underrated,

05:47the Pakistan team surprised everyone,

05:49and won the tournament,

05:51whether it was Balwe or the 2009 T20 World Cup,

05:53or the 2017,

05:55so this time also the way people talk,

05:57there are questions on Mahmood's selection,

05:59so if we don't rate him,

06:01the Pakistan team will do wonders.

06:03I think if we win like this,

06:05then we should underrate him,

06:07so that we win Inshallah.

06:09Look,

06:11I think there are a lot of things,

06:13that we have,

06:15as a player,

06:17if we are asked personally,

06:19there are a lot of things,

06:21in our awareness,

06:23we have to bring an improvement,

06:25we have to bring an improvement in our professionalism,

06:27so we can see,

06:29that we are underrated,

06:31and we win the tournament.

06:33Look, there is no doubt,

06:35that Pakistan has made big achievements,

06:37there have been big players in the history of Pakistan,

06:39and Alhamdulillah,

06:41there are players in the Pakistan team,

06:43that maybe our locals,

06:45have less expectations,

06:47but the players outside,

06:49see our players,

06:51talk to them,

06:53learn from them,

06:55so it means,

06:57that we have these things,

06:59but anyway,

07:01I believe,

07:03that on the day,

07:05if our hard work,

07:07our bravery,

07:09our smartness is more,

07:11then Allah will definitely give us results,

07:13otherwise Allah is the Lord of the worlds,

07:15he has it and we have it.

07:17Okay, Mr. Riddhi,

07:19like you,

07:21Mr. Yahya,

07:23what will you do,

07:25what will you do differently,

07:27and how is the atmosphere in the team,

07:29because whenever we play an ICC event,

07:31we are away,

07:33now we are playing at home,

07:35so how is the atmosphere in the team,

07:37how are you enjoying it?

07:39Like Mr. Yahya said,

07:41there have been 6-7 events,

07:43now you are the captain,

07:45so what will you do differently?

07:47I think,

07:49we didn't try to do anything different,

07:51if you look at it,

07:53we didn't get the results we wanted,

07:55otherwise,

07:57if you look at the results,

07:59Bobby was the captain,

08:01we played in the finals,

08:03but anyway,

08:05we are trying to cover the 1%

08:07that we are losing,

08:09we are working hard for it,

08:11we are looking for it,

08:13we are doing everything,

08:15but if you have any request,

08:17because we are humans,

08:19we can't be perfect,

08:21no one can be perfect,

08:23everyone learns from someone,

08:25everyone doesn't know everything,

08:27but everyone knows something,

08:29so we are looking for that 1%,

08:31I am sure our management

08:33has also said that,

08:35we are looking for that 1% or 2%,

08:37where we are losing matches,

08:39or we are losing big events,

08:41and we are looking for it,

08:43and we are looking for it,

08:45and we are looking for it,
