Babar Azam: A Top Talent with Tremendous Achievements:-
Babar Azam is a top player Mashallah, he has achieved so much at such a young age, now what to do next after this, this captain is very, very small, he is Virat Kohli has left the captaincy and look at his performance today, see Babar. My suggestion for Azam is that he should focus on his cricket. Believe me, when I meet small children, they tell me that Baba should give this message to Azam that if he performs, then see from my perspective when you That’s why I have left the Captain three to four times,I think I also remember how many times I have left, I have left many times and the Chairman has no shame, Chairman Sir, no one left me, they themselves left, they did not at all.
It should happen, see, this is what I understand, earlier we took a question to which I answered, see, the planning should be better, you should know that it is not my wish that KPL should be like this, it is not like this, this is the wish of all of us.
It should be according to and that desire should be of all of us which is the need of today’s need, not that I should say that yes, I was a daughter-in-law, I was brought up like this, so it should be like this, it is not what is the need of today. Whatever is the need of the modern era, we should do that and for Babar Azam, see that he should perform and see why Babar Azam became the captain when I remember, I also joined the Pakistan team at the same time.
Advice from Young Fans: A Message for Babar:-
At that time, this is what was done behind this, this is what was decided that the best player was Pak because there were not so many choices, so Babar Azam was the best player and was performing the most, so whatever he is, he did not do that. At that time, the Chairman and I had decided that the best player should be the captain of the team, so the thing is that today if Babar Azam or all the other top players perform, they should perform.
So automatically your performance will speak, so I think one thing that I see is that the eagles that play our game, they play less and speak more. See, the work of speaking is the work of a retired person like us. I say this. I can give any speech because see, our cricket is over, if you remember while playing cricket, you could not even see me, I used to live far away in a steam stool and everyone used to look for me. Focus should be your cricket.
Day you have to perform because see, now there will be a lot of media, there will be a lot of expectation, we all understand from Bab Azam that he will come in every match and score 100 runs in every match, if he does not score 100 then brother, that is the problem, I think. There is so much expectation that players should play more cricket now and those who do not say this in their social media should not run on social media but what I understand is that what our coaches have taught us is that this battle of bat and ball.
The Importance of Better Planning and Modern Approach:-
If it is yours, you should speak your bat and ball,then I think automatically all your critics will be with you. Now I am talking about my career, there were many critters and it also happened that I am not making any false statement at all. It also happened that someone related to me said something. If any of you talked, there was something in it, then they told you and I kept that paper and read it every morning and afternoon.
The Influence of Social Media and Sponsors:-
I kept watching that evening, I kept taking motivation from it, but you can take motivation from one point also. I think all the players are there with Mashallah, there are so many sponsors, so much name and today, if you perform one by one on social media. How far do you go? I think of Sahid Anwar, I think of Zaheer Abbas, I think of Javed Majd and I look at such big players and think how popular they would have been if they were alive today.
So in my opinion, see, your performance should speak for you and in my opinion, improve your fitness, improve your ethics and definitely think that if we are presenting at the national level, then we are from this community and this community. Your situation is in front of you, in so many difficulties, cricket is such that it takes you from where to where and if any one achieves, how popular he becomes, then I think you should focus on your performance and your fitness.
Learning from Greats: Focus on Performance:-
Focus on it and think that whatever opportunity we have, it is not a chance to get it again and again, I had those opportunities, believe me, I tried, I will not get a chance again to play cricket for Pakistan. So I never thought that I have to play number three, I have to play opener, I have to play number six, I always thought that brother, if you put me where the team needs me, then brother, I will try, why then I did not think.
Why Babar Azam Became Captain:-
Whether I will get a chance again or not, I think that brother, this is an opportunity for Babar Azam, Mashallah, he is a top player, he has achieved so much at such a young age, now what to do next after this, this Captain is very, very special.
A Reflection on Leadership: Comparing Babar Azam and Virat Kohli:-
That’s a small one, I think he should come out of this and give performance and do wonders for Pakistan and Babar Azam is such a player that I only score runs, he can go up to 15000 runs but for that he will have to go out of this controversy in front of you. Virat Kohli is there, Virat Kohli has left the captaincy in front of you and he himself has left and today look at his performance, he is going to break all the world records.
I think all the players should play for the team and if they have some energy left, Brother, if you go then play for yourself, this was my thinking, if you play with this thought then it will be very good, time is less, the competition is tough Javed Bhai, did Pakistan whitewash the country, how was that day for you, do n’t you see? We should not make ourselves so proud, see, because see, if Pakistan team loses then we all lose, it is okay that Bangladesh is not playing cricket from today onwards, if they were playing from today too then there would be no problem, defeat would have been victory.
A Lesson from My Career:-
But later on, learn from it, now it may not happen that after a few days you are coming to Ireland or you are coming to Scotland, they also defeat us in the same way, then learn from that, we have to learn and victory turns into defeat, I myself I lost in the Ireland match, when Babar, sorry, Balman passed away, I too, I remember that embarrassment, so see, we should not embarrass each other, okay, we have lost and not just Babar Azam, or only Whatever happened, Shan Masood did not lose, we all have lost but we have to learn from it. Now whatever community does not learn from itself, then it should be ready.
The next thing is to come to Scotland, after that many more teams. Now Afghanistan has to come and then it is you and you know that when such teams beat you, where does your rating and your spinner ship go, so I think we should learn from it and we should not envy each other. If you want, I told you that two bright stars of Pakistan show industry, the name of Pakistan, Fali Hasan Sahab and Irfan Malik Sahab are sitting here, they messaged me, now they are saying that Ra Som Sahab who is the Managing Director of Karachi.
Premier League, it was written on the card that the height is the way it is going, it is not like waiting for food, why is there something down like this? Yes sir, whatever is there is basat, President Karachi Premier League, we have to present a jacket for whatever.
Reflecting on My Role Model and Philosophies:-
Apart from this, we will save Mon Saheb as he is. Yes, we will save Khan Sahab, no, we will save him and we will save the rest of the people. Apart from that, Amy also has to be signed, so I would like to take one last question with Mazrat here, after that we will wind this press conference. You will do it, my friend, because my father was the person whom I looked up to and I am the youngest among the siblings, so I have the habits of my father, but I consider my role model as Hazur Sallam, that we should You have to see them, now you think that if I understand this and I put my team under a lot of pressure so that you think that if you are the head of any place, then you are the deputy of Allah, then how will the deputy of Allah be? If it should be so, then by all means, the Naib of Allah should be like Hazur Sa, so brother, my role model is fine in my house too, I am very good, my father, my brothers, all of me were educated, Mashallah, I am the least educated.
In the family, because we went towards cricket, I just gave us a little chance, I thought, I even tried, maybe I sat with Nawab Bhai and asked him to give me admission in Karachi University, but after that, another time came for classes. It is said that you should have so many classes, then you can still get this degree.
Remembering My First Innings: A Personal Milestone:-
So I think our role model should be Sir, but the point is the same in philosophy, see that wherever we go, as a Muslim, we are Try this, it’s okay, we have many shortcomings as well as qualities,but we have to try that brother, as a Muslim, we just save our eyes, improve our heart a little, then many things can happen, you score runs in the corner of the world. You have played very big innings in every corner of the country, is there any inning which is stuck in your mind till now, that inning was very good, see, it was my first inning, I had scored 46 or 47 runs in the National Stadium, Mirza Iqbal.
Conclusion: Babar Azam’s Future:-
Saeed Bhai is not there otherwise he would have told me while correcting how many runs had been scored on so many balls because Mirza Bhai was doing the commentary. I always remember that inning because it was such that it was in trouble and Saeed Bhai was very good. Anwar, why is the captain a witness to this? Once upon a time, I told him that brother, please send me, I will do it, so I always had the first match for me and big players like Wasim Akram were present in the dressing room, but I stood up and said, brother, please give me a chance. I always remember that 46 – 47 rasa innings which is my first one day inning.
