Some significant rules regarding narration are :

》 Here the reporting verb is in past form "said" so change of tense in reported speech is necessary.

》 The reported speech is a "question " so reporting verb in indirect form is transformed from 'Said' to 'asked'

》 At last some pronouns and other words get changed when converted to indirect from direct .
Such as here pronoun 'you' is charged to 'I'
