00:00 Welcome back once again.
00:01 And we'll talk about cricket once again.
00:04 Cricket is a game in which we are very passionate.
00:09 - So, the World Cup is over. - We were very emotional a few days ago.
00:12 We were emotional for three days.
00:14 - But what happened with India... - I...
00:16 Sorry to say.
00:17 I was emotional when you said you'll make 450 and then 100.
00:20 - Poor guy must be feeling bad. - Yes.
00:23 And we are sitting here...
00:24 - What happened? How did it happen? - What happened?
00:26 - Why did it happen? When did it happen? - What memes and what happened?
00:28 So, the first test of our team after the World Cup is
00:32 the test matches with Australia.
00:34 - The tour. - World champions.
00:36 - Yes. - Not in the test.
00:37 But in ODIs, we have the world champions.
00:40 And in that, the announcement of the 18-man team has been made.
00:43 Tell everyone who is the captain of the test team.
00:45 - Ishan Masood. - Yes.
00:47 And the announcement of the other players has been made.
00:49 Yes, so there are changes in that.
00:51 Fastballer Haris Rauf has apologized for the tour.
00:54 Wahab Riaz, who is the chief selector, has announced the tour.
00:59 And now, Mohammad Nawaz
01:02 is not able to get the trust of the new selector.
01:04 Let's talk about the rest of the team.
01:06 We have with us the representative of Khusroosi Barah Khel.
01:08 Before that, let us tell you that
01:09 the series of test matches will start from 14th December.
01:12 - Shahid Ashmi, thank you so much for joining us. - Good morning.
01:15 And the thing is that this will be a very difficult test for us.
01:20 I would like to talk about two people.
01:22 One is Saim Ayub.
01:23 Saim Ayub has just played great innings as a representative of Karachi.
01:29 He came late, but he made very good runs.
01:31 And that's why he is very good.
01:33 The second standout was Khurram Shehzad,
01:35 who has scored many wickets with his bowling.
01:38 He scored very good wickets.
01:40 In your opinion, how is this selection
01:42 keeping in mind the Australian wickets?
01:46 It is appropriate, balanced.
01:49 And Wahab Riaz has done a very smart job
01:52 by giving domestic cricket performances a chance.
01:54 Everyone has a view of why one or two players are not there.
02:00 One player, who I will definitely take his name, is Asad Shafiq.
02:03 He has scored 600 runs in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy.
02:05 He was third in the batting chart.
02:07 And in the batting chart, we can see three centuries of his career.
02:11 It is an old experience.
02:12 He scored 137 runs on the brisbane-like pitch in Australia
02:17 and almost won the test match against Pakistan.
02:19 Pakistan was losing by 50 runs.
02:21 The target was 480-490 runs.
02:23 He had done a very brave batting.
02:25 If a person has experience,
02:27 who knows how the Australian pitches are,
02:30 how the Australian bowling is,
02:31 then, in my opinion, Asad Shafiq is missing.
02:33 -And it is a glaring mistake. -Okay.
02:35 Because you need experience.
02:36 You have lost 14 consecutive test matches in Australia.
02:42 We have lost four series there.
02:44 And the last test match we won
02:47 was won in December 1995,
02:49 when Wasim Akram was young and played great cricket.
02:52 And we won in his captaining role.
02:54 -Wasim Akram's time. -So, it is balanced.
02:57 -But we had high hopes. -And the other name...
02:59 All three test matches...
03:00 -Yes? -You have already mentioned
03:03 that Asad Shafiq should have been there.
03:04 Who else should have been there?
03:06 Haris Rauf should have played test cricket.
03:09 Haris Rauf...
03:10 Let's understand that until he plays four or five days of cricket,
03:14 his one-day cricket and his T20 cricket will not be successful.
03:18 -But, Mr. Shahid... -This player...
03:19 -Can I ask you something? -Yes.
03:21 Yesterday, Wahab Riaz told us in a press conference
03:25 that he was ready and he changed his mind.
03:29 We don't know what his version is.
03:32 Is it really a fitness issue?
03:35 Or is it because of Big Bash
03:38 and he wants to play in a league cricket
03:40 that he is not coming to the test?
03:42 I am sure that he is afraid that if he plays a test match
03:47 and he has to bowl for a long time, he will become unfit.
03:50 If he becomes unfit, he will lose money and he won't be able to play in the leagues.
03:53 This will be a problem for today's players.
03:55 But they should think that until they play long cricket,
03:59 their fitness will not be good, their form, their performance, their bowling...
04:03 They won't be good until they play four or five days of cricket.
04:05 -But, Mr. Shahid... -How can we...
