PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi's press conference alongside Aqib Javed, Mike Hesson & PCB officials

[0:00] In the name of the Lord, I am very grateful for all of you and I will request you first that there is a briefing that we will give to Aakib and Mike and Doc. [0:23] We have made a four-year committee that worked for 15-20 days. [0:28] And the contracts that the players had received, you know, every time they came out of this contract, [0:36] someone has got a DQ, someone has got a CQ, someone has got a BQ, someone has got a AQ. [0:41] After that, there was a discussion that the players were very uncomfortable. [0:45] Because they understood that they should get something else. [0:48] So, we have prepared a paper that we have shared with you. [0:55] In which 85% of the contract has been removed from humans. [1:05] Now, it will be a whole database. [1:09] And after that, there are 15% of the selection committee. [1:12] And 85% are the whole performance based. [1:17] And that is, we have to keep the criteria. [1:19] A, B, C, D, all the criteria that you have to be able to get into. [1:23] In which you have to be fit, medical side, [1:27] you have to play a minimum of domestic cricket. [1:31] In which you have to be able to... [1:32] I mean, there is a whole list that you have to be available. [1:35] So, we are going to do this. [1:38] It is a very big decision because we have to take it all the data-driven. [1:45] And I will also know that, [1:47] I think that if we have to keep the criteria in any time... [1:49] We are able to keep the criteria in domestic cricket. [1:51] And if we keep the criteria in domestic cricket, [1:53] it will be better. [1:55] And if we keep the criteria in the other level, [1:57] where did we need to be able to keep the criteria? [2:00] So I hope that this whole process will be transparent and it will not remain in any individual's hands and the most important thing is that there will be no doubt that you have given me this criteria and this category. [2:26] So I think that Aakif will brief you so much better. Thank you. [2:33] In the name of the Lord. [2:35] In the name of the Lord. [2:37] As we met with the chairman of the day, it was one of the guidelines that people talk outside about the selection. [2:47] And the players have also mentioned that they always have a fight. [2:52] In the last year, when we were given a contract, it was the only competition for players. [2:59] Why did they give me B and D? [3:02] And we have also accepted it and accepted it that we want to do better. [3:07] Because we didn't satisfy themselves. [3:10] At times, you know, you know, the thing that we are saying is that human, at times, the place can be a little bit. [3:20] So now, there is one thing that we have started with medical clearance, medical standards. [3:30] When they have come here, they have set the standards. [3:34] Which we will gradually implement, not that we will start from an elite level. [3:41] Whatever you play in your cricket, the criteria in domestic, we have added. [3:49] The first thing was that the test players, because there are 4 or 5 of your tests, ODIs are more than that. [4:00] The T20s are more than that. [4:01] So the balance of the contract was in us. [4:04] It was difficult for us. [4:05] Now, for the players, the alignment was very good. [4:09] Because the test cricket, we also feel that we are going to stay a little behind. [4:15] And the players are very important to focus on the players. [4:20] And the players will also know that I am going to be a lot of努力 in the format. [4:28] And if I am going to progress, it is not necessary that I will go to the T20 format and go to T20. [4:35] So that will be a benefit for financial aid. [4:38] In this way, we have explained the tracks. [4:44] A is a test cricket. [4:47] B is a ODI cricket. [4:50] And C is a T20 cricket. [4:53] Now, you will get two types of players. [4:57] The players are playing the test and ODI. [5:00] We have kept them in the category of A and B. [5:03] There are some players who play one-day cricket and T20. [5:09] We have kept them in the category of B and C. [5:12] Only in the test cricket and ODI. [5:15] There are only T20 players. [5:18] In this way, their scoring is an internationally renowned system. [5:26] They will do their ranking. [5:28] And the ranking is just simple. [5:31] You will not see run scores, average, strike rates. [5:35] That is one thing. [5:38] What was the impact at that time? [5:40] In the balling, not only the wickets and your economy. [5:45] Because the performance of your team has benefited from that performance. [5:49] The focus is that you have to take the players from the individual performance. [5:56] You have to take them in the match winning performance. [5:58] In which the Pakistan has benefited from. [6:00] Not that this system will be implemented here. [6:03] In the past year, this system has been implemented. [6:09] Our algorithm is a system. [6:12] You have to find the region and live by the region. [6:22] There are different routes. [6:24] This system has also been managed by the regionquies. [6:26] If you look at the regions and districts, [6:27] We do not know what happens. [6:28] There are also many people of our regionquies and district. [6:30] In the regionquies and districts, [6:32] There is no trouble. [6:34] We have known because they are a citizen. [6:35] If we are aware of the people from the district, [6:39] This system is out there. [6:42] if you have a performance system, then you will have a selection. [6:47] So, today I understand that this is a beginning, [6:51] where you cover it, [6:56] the people who look at the shock, the players who participate in the party, [7:02] we manage this end. [7:06] So, for all this alignment was very important, [7:09] so that there is a human error, like the chairman said, [7:14] that we are leaving outside. [7:16] So, I think if someone has any questions about this, [7:20] you can ask them. [7:22] The committee has briefed the players very well [7:29] and I think they got a good feedback [7:32] and it was very clear because it was always a problem. [7:36] So, first of all, I would like Mike to say about this document [7:41] and then DocSub and then we can take the questions. [7:44] Firstly, the first thing we realised [7:50] was that the cricket landscape has certainly changed [7:53] and every single Test nation in the world [7:56] is struggling to come up with a method [8:01] or a document that caters for Test cricket [8:04] and the challenges around that, [8:07] the fact that they want to value it [8:09] but how do you value it from a financial point of view [8:12] where you allow players to focus on Test cricket [8:15] and also where the franchise game in T20 sits. [8:19] And every single nation around the world [8:20] has really struggled to come up with a model [8:23] that actually can cater for the different formats of the game. [8:27] So, I think the PCB have come up with a format [8:32] or a framework that caters for everything [8:35] and it's an impressive document, [8:38] one that, as I said, gives Test cricket [8:42] not only a piecemeal in terms of we care about Test cricket, [8:46] this actually shows that the PCB does [8:49] and it's allowing players to focus solely on that, [8:52] playing a lot of first-class cricket [8:53] and preparing better for Test cricket [8:56] and it's also catering for the T20 player [8:59] who could benefit from going around the world [9:02] basically learning their craft, [9:06] playing different tournaments and also be remunerated [9:09] and therefore the PCB doesn't have to pay them [9:11] as much as they can achieve financial support in other ways. [9:16] So, it caters for everything [9:17] and obviously players that are involved in both Test cricket, [9:20] one-day cricket, it caters for them. [9:22] So, it's an incredibly good document. [9:25] It's one that, as I said, [9:26] I think is the envy of most countries [9:28] that are trying to find a formula [9:30] and I think that in years to come [9:33] it'll be a document that the PCB will be very proud of. [9:39] who are heading to the medical side [9:41] and they have been working very hard [9:43] and the boys have been working very hard [9:45] but in this document they have been working very hard. [9:46] So, briefly, Doctor, please. [9:49] Assalamualaikum everybody. [9:51] So, sports medicine has changed quite markedly [9:53] throughout the world [9:54] and for us to be able to perform [9:57] and compete at the highest level [9:58] we need to make sure that our players are fit to perform [10:02] and so, on that sense, [10:05] fitness has become a non-negotiable. [10:09] So, over the last four or five months [10:11] we've evaluated, looked at the setup that we have in Pakistan [10:16] and from that we've developed a robust, [10:18] a reliable and a repeatable testing and screening battery [10:24] which we have started to apply to all the players. [10:27] The screening battery that we have at the moment [10:30] is 24 tests that they have to undergo [10:33] and it covers all the joints of the body. [10:38] It covers their fitness, it covers their agility, [10:41] it covers their strength, their mobility and their balance [10:46] but also we aim to do all their cardiac screening, [10:50] hearing screening, visual screening [10:52] and then we're looking at all the other performance markers as well. [10:56] So, once we get this into place [10:59] when we test our players [11:02] we'll get a baseline of where they are [11:04] and this is not to pass or fail them at the moment [11:08] is to find out where they are [11:09] and how we can help them improve [11:12] and take them forward in terms of performing. [11:15] The test batteries will be done every four months [11:18] so we understand where our players currently sit [11:22] and then where they are in four months time [11:24] and they need to be showing that they're improving [11:26] and once they're improving [11:28] we can then develop them further. [11:31] If they're not improving, we need to know why. [11:33] The test batteries will be carried out every four months [11:37] so at four months and at eight months [11:39] and again hopefully by the end of the test batteries [11:43] towards the end of next year [11:45] we'll have players who are certainly competing [11:48] within other countries [11:50] and we'll have our performer whereby [11:52] they're in the excellent or elite category. [11:55] So, I'll be available to answer any questions later on [11:58] but that's the just of it at the moment. [12:27] Thank you very much. [12:28] I have been able to answer my question. [12:30] The question from you today [12:31] has said that test cricket is important. [12:36] The test cricket is important [12:36] so do you understand [12:38] that someone has been trapped [12:39] or not told you, [12:40] this stuff is important to us [12:41] that we know test cricket is important. [12:42] T20 TD, [12:45] we should not make the test load of them [12:47] before the foundation. [12:48] First, play test cricket, domestic cricket and transform the test cricket. [12:50] that the other question is that the things you have told [12:54] that it will happen, that it will happen, we will take medical tests. [12:58] This is 70 years old. [13:00] If you have a performance, a document of performance based, [13:04] then the selection committee has a lot of work? [13:07] The first thing is that the selection committee has a lot of work. [13:14] The selection committee has a lot of work. [13:18] And my opinion is that if it's 70 years old, [13:22] it's not happening in my knowledge, [13:24] that it's happening in this kind of data based. [13:28] Definitely, the selectors were sitting and decided. [13:32] To give statements and say that I have to play a test for players, [13:39] that I have to play a test for players, that I have to play a test for players, [13:41] that I have to play a test for players. [13:43] Every person says that the statements are good. [13:45] But in the practical form to implement it is a difficult task. [13:49] You can tell me how many people were playing in the past five years. [13:53] And if they were not playing, then what was happening? [13:55] Nothing was happening. [13:57] The ones who play the players and the ones who don't play. [13:59] So if we restrict it and keep it in order, [14:02] then I think that you should acknowledge it. [14:06] Do not appreciate it. [14:07] Do not acknowledge it. [14:08] Do not acknowledge it. [14:10] It will be a test for players. [14:11] If there is no one to play, [14:12] then there will be results in your face. [14:13] The players are playing for themselves. [14:24] We will create criteria for them. [14:25] So what are the criteria today? [14:27] Will the players decide the situation in their own way? [14:30] And secondly, I think I'm wrong. [14:34] I think I'm wrong. [14:35] I think this is how many systems are based on AI-based. [14:40] AI-based is not data-driven. [14:42] Okay, first of all, [14:43] let me tell you the players. [14:44] And then I'll ask you a small question. [14:45] Players, [14:46] if you read the documents, [14:48] you will get the answer to every thing. [14:49] In which it is clear that [14:51] if you score, [14:54] when you score, [14:55] how you score, [14:56] how you score, [14:58] how you score, [14:59] how you score, [15:00] how you score, [15:01] how you score, [15:02] how you score, [15:03] how you score, [15:04] how you score, [15:05] how you score, [15:06] how you score. [15:07] My question to Dr. Mughal. [15:09] In last four months, [15:10] how you feel the fitness level of Pakistani players? [15:13] And so far, [15:14] what is the percentage level of your satisfaction [15:17] about Pakistani players' fitness? [15:19] So, [15:20] I think it's unfair to judge people at the moment [15:24] in terms of their fitness. [15:26] We've had a look at where they are [15:29] and carry down some capacity testing. [15:32] And right now, [15:34] where they stand is, [15:36] it's not where we want them to be. [15:39] They're quite low. [15:40] But I think there's quite a few reasons for that. [15:43] And I'll go into more details maybe later on. [15:46] So, [15:48] but what we want to do is [15:49] we want to leave the past in the past. [15:52] We want to start a new future now [15:54] for Pakistan cricket. [15:55] So, [15:56] what we're doing currently [15:57] is we're looking at all their baseline markers. [15:59] where we're doing all their testing. [16:01] And that will give us an indicator of where they are. [16:04] We don't want to punish anybody. [16:07] That's the wrong thing to do. [16:08] What we want to do [16:09] is we want to protect our players [16:11] and we want to increase their performance [16:13] and we want to improve their wellbeing. [16:15] So, [16:16] once we have their baseline data, [16:20] we will look at them. [16:22] We will educate them. [16:23] We will help them [16:24] and define where we are. [16:26] And then hopefully we'll work with them. [16:28] So, [16:29] in four months' time, [16:30] when we do that testing again, [16:31] they will be in a better position. [16:33] So, [16:34] sorry, [16:35] just to talk about the impact score, [16:38] which was raised before. [16:40] The impact score is an international model. [16:43] There are many models around that are well respected. [16:46] And they obviously take into account [16:48] the runs you score, [16:49] when you score them, [16:50] the impact you have on the outcome of the game, [16:53] the time you score them, [16:55] your strike rate. [16:56] There are many variables which are used [17:00] with bat ball to come up with a figure. [17:02] So, [17:03] not your traditional data, [17:04] which is obsolete in many ways. [17:07] It's outdated in terms of how players are judged. [17:10] So, [17:11] we're interested in players that win games for Pakistan [17:13] and make contributions to do that. [17:15] If you bat at number seven, [17:16] you're clearly not going to score as many runs [17:18] as the guy who bats at number three. [17:19] But, [17:20] you can just have just as much of an impact [17:22] on the outcome of the game. [17:24] And those are the things that we judge. [17:27] And those are the things that we value. [17:28] And those are the things that are not subjective. [17:31] They are objective numbers that are judged by a formula [17:36] and is very much world known in terms of the formulas [17:39] that those are used. [17:40] So, [17:41] Mr. Mohsen Sir, [17:43] there was a practice in PCP, [17:45] that when we were taken to a physical trial, [17:47] and fitness trial, [17:49] the media was invited. [17:51] The media was invited. [17:52] The media was also known, [17:53] the media was also known, [17:54] that they had such a great criteria, [17:55] whether they were meeting or not. [17:57] So, the girls were also very alert, [18:00] for this thing. [18:01] So, [18:02] this has been stopped for years. [18:04] So, [18:05] you can understand that if you are invited, [18:07] the physical, [18:09] the fitness trial will be better. [18:11] Mr. Mohsen Sir, [18:13] it's your call. [18:14] I will support. [18:22] Mr. Mohsen Sir, [18:24] So, [18:25] I think in terms of what we are doing in terms of testing, [18:30] I think that's a data protection issue. [18:34] So, [18:35] we want to try to keep our players protected and safe and secure [18:41] in the fact that they are working towards improving their capacities in everything. [18:47] So, I think to have the media there would be wrong. [18:50] But, [18:51] certainly we can give you indicators of where we are and how we are improving. [18:56] And I am quite happy to talk to you about that openly. [19:00] Mr. Mohsen Sir, [19:01] Mr. Mohsen Sir, [19:02] Mr. Mohsen Sir, [19:05] Mr. Mohsen Sir, [19:06] Mr. Mohsen Sir, [19:07] Mr. Mohsen Sir, [19:08] Mr. Mohsen Sir, [19:09] Mr. Mohsen Sir, [19:10] Mr. Mohsen Sir, [19:11] Mr. Mohsen Sir, [19:12] Mr. Mohsen Sir, [19:13] Mr. Mohsen Sir, [19:14] Mr. Mohsen Sir, [19:15] Mr. Mohsen Sir, [19:16] Mr. Mohsen Sir, [19:17] Mr. Mohsen Sir, [19:18] Mr. Mohsen Sir, [19:19] Mr. Mohsen Sir, [19:20] Mr. Mohsen Sir, [19:21] Mr. Mohsen Sir, [19:22] Mr. Mohsen Sir, [19:23] Mr. Mohsen Sir, [19:24] Mr. Mohsen Sir, [19:25] Mr. Mohsen Sir, [19:26] Mr. Mohsen Sir, [19:27] Mr. Mohsen Sir, [19:28] Mr. Mohsen Sir, [19:29] Mr. Mohsen Sir, [19:30] Mr. Mohsen Sir, [19:31] Mr. Mohsen Sir, [19:32] Mr. Mohsen Sir, [19:33] Mr. Mohsen Sir, [19:34] Mr. Mohsen Sir, [19:35] Mr. Mohsen Sir, [19:36] Mr. Mohsen Sir, [19:37] Mr. Mohsen Sir, [19:38] Mr. Mohsen Sir, [19:39] to fix it. If this is not going to happen, you will take a new policy, take a new strategy. [19:45] Chairman, I know you, for this reason. Today, some chairman has not given enough time to anyone. [19:51] You have given free end to the cricket board. You have given credit to the cricket board. [19:56] If there is no cricket right now, do you ask that you have given enough time and cricket [20:03] is not going to happen? Thank you. [20:09] Your question is, how long will it happen? [20:13] Look, there are three types of cricket. [20:17] One is your test, ODI, T20. [20:20] For this, there is no time line for this. [20:28] Because you are also playing cricket and the whole world is competing. [20:34] Our bench mark needs to be fine. [20:38] Very bad. [20:40] You want to win the majority of the games. [20:44] It is necessary for everyone. [20:46] There is no cricket board. [20:49] There is a chance to win the ICC tournaments. [20:52] But there is no purpose. [20:55] In addition to all of your test cricket and series, [21:00] there is a ranking. [21:02] This is why you need to win the majority of the games. [21:06] So I think there are some things like the red ball in the last season, [21:13] which was two years ago. [21:15] There are problems in the last season. [21:17] And we will try to dress that. [21:21] And the time line is difficult to tell cricket. [21:25] It is not possible. [21:27] It is not possible. [21:28] Cricket is the most difficult sport to improve. [21:41] I have a question with you. [21:43] It is absolutely our responsibility. [21:45] Not only the people involved in this role. [21:47] And the best result of the best we can do. [21:52] and the best results of the team will be able to get the best results from all of us. [21:57] Definitely the team, which we can provide, which we can provide, which we can provide, which we can provide. [22:04] In my opinion, if I look overall, [22:09] which is our bilateral team, [22:12] then I will say that we have a lot of performance and performance, [22:16] but when the tournament comes, then we will collapse. [22:19] There are a lot of reasons for it to collapse. [22:23] Mike is also addressing and these people. [22:27] In the past few days, when there was a tournament, [22:30] there were so many good games in the tournament. [22:33] That's why we have figured out the performance and other people are working on it. [22:42] If you have all the data from our time, [22:46] you will get a good result. [22:49] We will focus on the tournament. [22:52] The performance of your performance and your mental health, [22:58] how you go into the ground, [23:00] it matters very much. [23:02] Unfortunately, we are doing bad performance. [23:06] We should admit it and fix it. [23:09] We will be doing it. [23:10] Hopefully, I hope we will go to the next tournament, [23:14] we will be doing it. [23:16] We will be doing it. [23:18] We are doing it. [23:19] We have to do it. [23:21] We are doing it. [23:23] We are absolutely responsible for it. [23:24] We will do it. [23:25] Whether it's related to my team, [23:27] whether it will be related to my team, [23:30] or whether it will be related to my team. [23:32] Thank you. [23:33] My question is, [23:38] there are many challenges in life. [23:41] There are some work, [23:42] there are no work. [23:43] There are no work. [23:44] There is no work. [23:45] There is no work. [23:46] There is no work. [23:47] There is no work. [23:48] What is your purpose? [23:49] What do you mean by your team? [23:50] How do you think you do? [23:51] Who does he have the responsibility? [23:53] What is your team? [23:54] What will you think is am I doing? [23:56] No work in a certain details and media. [24:01] There are many things. [24:02] For example, [24:05] I gave off the headline 3-4 days, [24:08] that your team has been appointed for a test. [24:15] You will have to help the coach, [24:16] mentor, head coach or whatever. [24:17] But I also know these things here. [24:18] Now, I know that my channel goes on. [24:19] We know that there was no such agenda or anything. [24:24] Now, what can I say about that if someone doesn't get any news that day or that day, [24:30] he says, let's go, let's get this news today. [24:32] So, it's not my fault. [24:34] And what we were discussing with Haffeez, [24:43] that we were talking about where we were. [24:46] We were talking about where we were talking about. [24:49] But it was very strange when we were talking about the head coach, [24:54] and we were working on the other side and the other side. [24:59] So, I couldn't do anything. [25:01] But we can do everything that we can do better for cricket. [25:05] I will go to each other. [25:07] I will also involve them. [25:09] And I will also bring them together. [25:14] All the people, all the people, all the people, all the people. [25:19] Why not? [25:21] Assalamualaikum, Aakir. [25:22] My first question is to you. [25:24] Is there any formula that you have prepared for this? [25:27] Or any of you? [25:28] Is there any formula that you can evaluate? [25:30] Is there anyone who is playing for themselves individually? [25:32] And who is playing for themselves individually? [25:33] And who is playing for the team? [25:34] And the other thing is that we often see, [25:36] because you are also in the selection committee. [25:37] So, there are many youngsters. [25:39] They have a chance. [25:40] They have a chance. [25:41] But some of them are selected in the squad. [25:44] But what do they do without the team? [25:47] What do they do for them? [25:48] Look, the formula that Mike has told us. [25:51] If you are going to go, even Crick Info has also started. [25:55] The impact player will be heard on TV. [25:59] The impact is the same. [26:02] The impact is the same. [26:04] As Mike told you, [26:06] for the players, [26:07] the players will continue to do 50, [26:08] or at least to do 70 runs. [26:09] There is no contribution for me. [26:13] In times, [26:14] you may have 20 runs be done or any other players are using a game change. [26:21] Or if you have 5 wins, [26:23] you are not always for the impact player. [26:26] The impact means, [26:28] a performance will have to get a performance, [26:30] but always for the talent. [26:31] And in the field, [26:33] where you may also find a match. [26:34] And the second one said that there are some players and they don't try to get out of it. [26:41] Where do they get out of it? [26:43] Because you have selected players in series-wise, [26:47] and those players who don't fit in the series, [26:51] it doesn't mean that we have completely sideline them. [26:54] In the next series, they will come. [26:56] I will add one thing, that when they have 15 players, [26:59] then they will be head coach and captain. [27:02] Thank you so much.
