00:00So the thing is, the teams that have qualified for T20 World Cup 2026
00:06have been announced.
00:08One second, are we in it?
00:10Yes, that's what I'm saying. That's why we're running the news.
00:13So even if you didn't, we'd still run it.
00:15I was going to hold the paper like this if you didn't take my name.
00:19Pakistan has qualified directly for the World Cup 2026
00:22based on a better ranking in the T20 format.
00:26This directly is very important.
00:28It was our most beautiful performance in the T20 World Cup in 2024.
00:32After that, there were a lot of risks.
00:34I think our players must have been the most upset about this.
00:37That we gave such a great performance
00:39and even after that we qualified directly.
00:41Wow, directly.
00:42But nowadays, our players are giving a lot of statements.
00:45Rizwan did a press conference.
00:47There's a lot of talk about surgery.
00:49Shaheen was quite sarcastic about the whole situation.
00:54He said, is there a patient who needs surgery?
00:57You know this statement.
00:59It came from the chairman of the PCB.
01:01But the surgery we were waiting for,
01:05its effects are still not visible.
01:07The players are playing leagues and doing all kinds of things.
01:11Now, there's no need to tell you again and again
01:15that we couldn't even reach the Super 8 stage.
01:18We also lost to America.
01:19Why are you putting salt in wounds? Forget about it.
01:22Apart from that, there were rumours on social media
01:26that we will have to play a qualifier.
01:28But that was not the case.
01:30There are 12 teams who have qualified directly.
01:33In which, Sri Lanka, India and Afghanistan have also qualified.
01:36Australia, South Africa, Bangladesh, England, West Indies,
01:39America, Ireland and New Zealand are included.
01:41America has also qualified directly.
01:43That needs to be noted.
01:45Because they played really well.
01:47The other 8 teams will be selected through a regional qualifier,
01:50just like the last T20 World Cup.
01:53That's great.
01:54In India, the celebrations are still going on.
01:57The celebrations are still going on after winning the World Cup.
02:00The way Virat gave a performance in his last match,
02:06the way he was given a see-off,
02:09the way he announced his retirement from the International T20 Cricket,
02:13people appreciated it.
02:15Usually, when you give a good performance,
02:18people say, why did you retire so soon?
02:21You could have played more.
02:23But Virat is Virat.
02:25People often criticise him for not being a T20 player.
02:29This is wrong.
02:31In his last match, he scored 76.
02:34His performance is the reason why his team won.
02:40A big player performs well in big matches.
02:43He performed really well in the World Cup final.
02:46What could be a better opportunity to show your skills?
02:49Secondly, look at Rohit Sharma.
02:52What a great performance he gave in the entire tournament.
02:56And what if he didn't show it in the last match?
02:58I remember, Ashfaq, there was a time when India's biggest problem was
03:01that they always had great batters and batsmen.
03:05But their bowling side was weak.
03:07But since a long time, India has worked a lot on their bowling
03:11and their fielding.
03:13And the catch by Miller...
03:15I still can't accept it.
03:18I saw a tweet from him.
03:20He said, we put in a lot of effort.
03:22But we are very sad that we couldn't win this match.
03:25I was very sad for South Africa.
03:28But they are the ones to blame.
