00:00Hello and welcome to Sports Room. I am your host, Najeeb Ul-Hasnain.
00:18How was the year 2024?
00:21What happened in the world of sports? What didn't happen?
00:24What did Pakistan lose? What did they gain?
00:26In today's program, we will take a look at the year 2024.
00:30And we will start with a game that is not just a sport for Pakistan and Pakistanis, but a passion, i.e. cricket.
00:38So, how was the year 2024 for the Pakistan team?
00:42The year 2024 was a year of changes in Pakistan.
00:45The joke of Pakistani cricket in front of the world was that which chairman is coming, who is going,
00:52we didn't know that if Zaka Ashraf is there this week, then next week it will be Najam Sethi or someone else.
00:58And then Mohsin Naqvi came as chairman and then there was a pause.
01:04So, who came, who went, what changes happened?
01:07And to talk about what has happened in cricket this year, former Test cricketer Basit Ali is with us.
01:13Mr. Basit, thank you very much for giving us time.
01:16As I just said, the year 2024 has been a year of changes.
01:20There have been a lot of changes.
01:22The chairman has come, the coaches have changed.
01:24In fact, the captain has changed.
01:26So, now it seems that there has been a pause in our cricket.
01:29How do you see this?
01:31And where is cricket going?
01:33The changes that were supposed to happen in the year 2024 have happened.
01:37Now I don't think there will be any changes after the Champions Trophy.
01:47Because the steps that the chairman has taken,
01:51you can also see that the model of the Champions Trophy,
01:57which he approved from the ICC and put everyone on the back foot.
02:02Earlier, it was said that the Champions Trophy will leave Pakistan.
02:07But the best thing he did was that we will do what is with us.
02:16So, he is a strong chairman.
02:19And the changes that you said, I think they were supposed to happen.
02:24Now let's see how the results come up till the Champions Trophy.
02:29In 2024, a very big problem has also happened that we have lost to teams like America, Ireland and Zimbabwe.
02:38Now, in order to prevent these things from happening again,
02:42what should we do?
02:44We have lost before.
02:46We have lost to Ireland in the West Indies when Inzamam was the captain.
02:51We usually lose to smaller teams and that becomes a highlight.
02:55We were losing to Zimbabwe in the 2022 T20 World Cup.
03:00We were also losing to Ireland.
03:02This time we lost again.
03:04But the most different thing this time is that we lost to America.
03:10There was only one chance from America that we will lose to them.
03:14We have lost in terms of time because we are ahead of them in terms of time.
03:20But we lost in cricket too.
03:22It was a very sad day for cricket.
03:24Everyone knows that we are losing to smaller teams.
03:28But the way Najeeb is on the board, our team has improved in ODIs.
03:37And I feel that the coming days will be very good for our ODIs cricket.
03:43Our one-day team is looking very settled.
03:46We have played well in 2024 too.
03:49Will this benefit us?
03:51The Champions Trophy is on our head.
03:53Will we get confidence from that?
03:55The ODI team is very top class.
03:57Aqib made a spin wicket in the test matches and won.
04:04We defeated Australia in Australia.
04:06We beat South Africa in Whitewash.
04:09So the ODI team is very good.
04:11And I think we should get good results in the Champions Trophy.
04:16We will reach the Champions Trophy in the semi-finals.
04:18Inshallah.
04:19We will definitely reach.
04:21The way the performance is going on.
04:25The way the bowlers are in form.
04:28The way the batters are in form.
04:30The semi-finals are for sure.
04:32Aqib Javed has become a top coach in 2024.
04:36I think we should take a decision.
04:39Otherwise, this process will continue.
04:41Then we will run after foreign coaches.
04:44And in the end, when we don't listen to them, they will go back.
04:48And Pakistan will be humiliated.
04:50We should not avoid this.
04:51I don't think you will need to look for a coach until Aqib Javed is there.
04:55Those who had to come have left.
04:57Whether it's Gary or Jason.
05:00Simple.
05:02In our country, the foreigners usually don't last long.
05:11We make mistakes.
05:13But Aqib is the Chief Selector at this time.
05:18And Aqib is the head coach at this time.
05:20Since 2012, the Pak-Bharat series has not happened.
05:23Don't you think that there should be a competition between the traditional Harif?
05:28There should be an imaginary series.
05:30After 2012, there will be no competition.
05:34Look, I am saying something that no one will say.
05:38I have said it before.
05:40I have said it somewhere.
05:43When Jaishah becomes the head of the ICC, then we will see.
05:49The series that you are talking about,
05:51Mohsin Naqvi and Jaishah are the two people who will run the India-Pakistan series.
05:58Whether at a neutral venue, in India or in Pakistan.
06:02It's time for a commercial break.
06:04Don't go anywhere. We will be right back.
06:08Welcome back once again to Sportsroom.
06:10In the rest of the world, which player made his name in cricket?
06:13Who got what?
06:15What did Pakistan do in national hockey in 2024?
06:20This is a very difficult question.
06:22Because the downfall of hockey that has been going on for a long time,
06:25this year was no different.
06:27The Pakistan hockey team did not qualify for the Paris Olympics.
06:31Players' dailies, their salaries, this also went on together.
06:36In 2024, Pakistan's senior team and Pakistan's junior team both performed very well.
06:41If you look at Pakistan's performance from January to December,
06:45then you see Pakistan's hockey team on the podium.
06:48In my opinion, Pakistan has improved its numbers,
06:52has improved its position in the Olympics,
06:55has improved its local tournaments.
06:57If you compare it with any of Pakistan's big sports,
07:00even if you compare it with cricket,
07:02then they have not won as many medals this year as hockey has won.
07:05I think the year 2025 will be better for hockey.
07:10But the need is that the financial model for hockey needs to be strengthened.
07:15If it is said in 2024 that this year was in the name of only one sportsman,
07:19then it will not be wrong.
07:21The first player is Arshad Nadeem,
07:23who raised the name of Pakistan,
07:25raised the flag of Pakistan.
07:27Arshad Nadeem and many such players who have made the country proud.
07:30In the off-road autocross rally,
07:32the drivers showed their skills,
07:34many did wonders,
07:36and nothing came out of nothing.
07:37Let's have a look.
07:44The successful initiation of hub rallycross,
07:46Pakistan's number races,
07:49fought for the king and queen of desert rally.
07:51In the women's category,
07:5220-year-old Dina Patel won the trophy.
08:01With the co-operation of DHA city and Airway Laguna,
08:03for the first time in the city,
08:04an autocross rally was held.
08:06In this national level event,
08:07the roar of the sports car made everyone crazy.
08:10For the first time,
08:11in the Gorakh Hill off-road rally,
08:13the desert bikers showed great fun.
08:15In the evening,
08:16once again in DHA city,
08:17an autocross rally was held.
08:18The participation of E-Cars
08:19made this event a success.
08:21In 2025,
08:22the host of the off-road rally
08:23will be Zilla Tharparkar.
