00:00 So, let's talk about the central contracts issue.
00:04 The players want to have a decision on this issue immediately.
00:10 They want to have their share in the increase of PCB, income and NFT.
00:17 Let's start with Mr. Shahid.
00:20 Mr. Shahid, tell me, this issue has been dragging for a long time.
00:24 The players demand to have their share in the increase of PCB, income and NFT.
00:33 What do you have to say about this?
00:34 This issue has been going on for 2-3 years.
00:37 In India, Australia and England, players get all the money
00:41 which is used by the ICC for digital images.
00:44 The ICC gives money to the respective boards.
00:46 The players are asking for their share.
00:49 These things are coming out through agents.
00:51 Then, they reached India. I got a few calls from India.
00:54 They asked if there is a rebellion in Pakistan's camp.
00:57 Before the match in India, I said there is no such thing.
01:00 PCB says that all the players are on board.
01:03 Negotiations are going on.
01:05 And this issue will be settled after the Asia Cup.
01:08 But it's better to settle it soon.
01:10 The new revenue model of all the countries from the ICC,
01:15 the financial model, Pakistan will get $34 million in a year.
01:19 If we convert it to Pakistani currency, it will be around Rs. 9.6 billion.
01:24 It's a huge amount in a year.
01:27 In the coming years, you can develop Pakistan cricket.
01:31 You can improve your first class cricket.
01:33 You can improve your infrastructure.
01:36 And of course, there is a demand for players.
01:38 Cricket is because of the players.
01:40 So, the players should get their share.
01:43 If they don't get it in 2 years, then it's the fault of the previous board.
01:46 But now, we should settle this issue by negotiating.
01:51 Shoaib, the news of the Central Contract,
01:55 obviously, it shows that there is a disturbance among the players.
02:00 What do you have to say about that?
02:02 You have to understand this.
02:04 Kamran Akmal and Yunus will understand this.
02:06 All the big players, you have already said,
02:10 all the big players have only one firm.
02:13 All the big players who are dominating in our cricket,
02:16 they all have only one firm.
02:18 This fight happened over many things.
02:20 In the past, there was a fight that the percentage of ads you get from us should be increased.
02:25 There were many other issues.
02:27 In this fight between the big players, the small cricketers were at a loss.
02:32 Then the NOC issues came.
02:34 It was not about fitness.
02:36 I will tell you, people were told by wrong statements that
02:38 we want to keep the players relaxed and fit.
02:42 We wanted to play cricket continuously.
02:45 The small players were sent back to the NOC.
02:55 This fight is not between the players and the cricket board.
03:01 It is between the agents and the cricket board.
03:04 The cricket board tried to put some agents on the wall.
03:10 But they did not know that the agents have become so strong
03:15 that the agents play a role in the selection of the team.
03:18 You have no idea how the agents have made Pakistan cricket a hostage.
03:24 All the strong players are in one place.
03:27 The weak players are in three or four places.
03:30 Now what happened is that when Ms. Baul Haque came to the committee,
03:33 her agents also became strong.
03:35 So this is the war of agents, which you will understand in the coming days.
03:38 Players who are not in the central contract should be allowed to play more leagues.
03:42 They have bread and butter.
03:43 Once they retire, they face a big problem.
03:47 Let's talk to Eunice and Kamran.
03:49 It is better if you do not take my opinion.
03:52 Your opinion is important because all the earnings, revenue, and PCB are running because of the players.
04:04 When they are asking for their rightful share, what is the delay in this?
04:08 Before Eunice says anything, I would like to say one more thing.
04:11 Whenever there is a player association in Pakistan, only Eunice Khan can do this.
04:16 I tried.
04:18 I am telling you, I tried.
04:20 I tried.
04:21 I will not take the name of Sahid B. Akram.
04:27 I tried when I was the captain in 2009.
04:31 I was very close to Fika.
04:35 They convinced me.
04:37 I used to play in the counties.
04:40 I had played in Australia.
04:42 I was playing for the Redbacks.
04:45 I used to talk to them.
04:47 We used to talk about betterment.
04:49 I came back and I wanted to play.
04:51 I always say that many people think that my career is ruined because of the death of our chairman, Mr. Ijaz Butt.
05:03 No, it is not like that.
05:05 Mr. Ijaz Butt was a very good man.
05:07 May God bless him.
05:09 When I went to him and presented this model, he said, "Son, continue this. I support you."
05:16 He said, "The people you are telling to on-board will not be with you.
05:21 Make sure you don't break your heart."
05:23 When I went to him, exactly the same thing happened.
05:25 I tried.
05:26 I am telling you, don't take my opinion.
05:28 This is a very sad news for us.
05:32 When the contract was coming, I and that player, whose name I am taking again, we fought.
05:40 We fought for a series after the World Cup.
05:46 We went without a contract.
05:48 Because of the central contract, we played a series without a contract.
05:54 We got a lot of things when we won.
05:57 But we stood at that time and said that this should be the central contract.
06:01 It happened.
06:02 This is not the work of the players.
06:04 The work is that the board and the players should come forward and talk about betterment.
06:11 That these players will come again.
06:13 They are showing up.
06:14 Their agents will come.
06:15 The opportunity is given by the PCB itself.
06:17 So, the PCB should come forward wisely.
06:20 There are a lot of cricketers like myself, Kamal Anakmal.
06:24 We are sitting on a good channel and talking.
06:26 May God bless us.
06:28 But there are a lot of players who are struggling.
06:31 The PCB should come forward.
06:34 Like we keep saying, we have to take a stand somewhere.
06:36 We have to set something somewhere.
06:38 When this happens, the players will not come in between.
06:42 Their agents will not come.
06:43 And the big and small players we talk about will not come.
06:47 So make sure that the PCB understands what the PCB is.
06:50 The PCB should be a big one here.
06:52 All these controversies should not come out.
06:54 They should resolve themselves.
06:56 Keep good people who work for this team, for this country, for the PCB.
