00:30I guess we will start with the O2 that will be the first test
00:36Babur's injury is the only one that is missing for one test or do you know something else?
00:41Now we have the medical team to assist so it's a little bit of pain

00:53And the two days you came here with the preparation
01:00So did you have any insight from that?
01:02What kind of strategy should your team be?
01:05Our team?
01:07Yes
01:07But definitely we had our practice match
01:09If you were talking about it, our practice match was very successful
01:12And all the things we wanted to cover
01:14We covered the balling unit or batting unit
01:17And thank God that we won the match
01:19We won the match
01:20So confidence is very high
01:21Spirit is very high
01:22And we will believe in the whole team
01:25That we will do good here
01:28Muhammad Abbas
01:29In the overcast condition
01:30In Pakistan
01:31Is there a lot of pressure
01:32So what will you see
01:34Is there a lot of pressure?
01:36Is there a lot of pressure?
01:37Look, we will decide
01:39That we will definitely decide
01:39That we will go with the team
01:41Definitely Abbas
01:42The experience here
01:43And which conditions
01:44He will play here
01:45So definitely
01:47One of the main baller
01:48That will all be in this team
01:48So the team
01:50It is a lot of pressure
01:51The two test matches
01:51And the final score
01:52Not from that
01:53But now
01:53Soudh Chikin
01:54What has the message
01:58The team
01:58Because Pakistan
02:00Is very low
02:01If you say
02:04That we've worked very hard
02:06If we have worked on this
02:06All the boys
02:07And we've worked on this
02:08Last one
02:08We did a camp
02:09And this
02:09In West Andes
02:11In the series
02:11We did a few
02:18So everyone has done hard work. South has done 100 points here.
02:22So the form is very good.
02:24So I hope that our medal order will perform well in this season.
02:30Sir Frans, Captain Babar Aazam is also the main batsman with the captain.
02:37So what do you think about the morale of the team?
02:40Or what strategy will happen in the first day?
02:43Obviously your main player has a setback that the team is not available.
02:48But all the players are very confident here.
02:51And we will try to get a better combination of the team.
02:55Definitely Babar is going with a different combination.
02:58But we will sit back and take a look at the team.
03:02Inshallah we will see the conditions and the team will final.
03:06Sir Frans, Salman Joves had a little performance in the last test matches.
03:11So you think that the captain will increase the burden?
03:15Or are you thinking that this is a chance that the captain's performance will get boost up?
03:22Look, if you are talking about the captain,
03:24then I think that one or two test matches were a little bit wrong.
03:28And his performance remains very strong.
03:31So I hope that we as a team management team are very confident.
03:35And as far as the captain,
03:37there are a few people who have a little confidence in the captain.
03:41So I hope that Salman Ali Aaga team is a senior player.
03:44Inshallah as a bat,
03:46he will give the team to the team.
03:47Assalamualaikum Sahafi.
03:48When you became head coach,
03:50we had a bit of a change change.
03:51Before Aga and Rizwan,
03:53we were relying on a team.
03:54Now they are out of form.
03:55Both Babar and Abdullah runs.
03:57They are out of form.
03:58So after three years,
03:59we had a test match.
04:00Babar came back as a captain.
04:02So how big a setback is?
04:03And other than that,
04:04Rizwan and Aga will be expected in this series?
04:07Look, I don't say the setback,
04:09but after a unfortunate scene,
04:11it was a very fit.
04:12It was a ball again.
04:14So it's unfortunate that Babar is not available for the test match.
04:18And Rizwan and Aga came back.
04:20I was here too.
04:22So I talked about it.
04:23Both of our team are senior players.
04:25And I am very confident that
04:27both of our team will perform very well in these two years.
04:29Inshallah.
04:31Sorry, Sakas.
04:33Babar's injury,
04:35what is his injury?
04:37Has he broken a finger?
04:38And how long do you expect him to be out for?
04:40No, he has not broken the injury.
04:42So he is a little bit swelling on his finger.
04:44So hopefully he will be available for the second test match.
04:48Yeah.
04:52Oh, that's great.
04:58So yeah, he is available.
05:00Yeah, he is available.
05:01Yeah.
05:03That's lovely.
