Mohammad Rizwan: ‘I’m Here to Serve, Not to Rule’

Mohammad Rizwan, Pakistan’s newly appointed white-ball captain, has emphasized his commitment to serving the team rather than assuming a position of authority. Ahead of Pakistan’s upcoming tours of Australia and Zimbabwe, Rizwan expressed his determination to lead by example and inspire his teammates to fight for every victory.

“As a leader, I am here to serve the 15 men of the team,” Rizwan stated. “If I start considering myself a king, everything will fall apart.” He acknowledged the support and encouragement from the team’s management, who have urged them to display unwavering determination.

Rizwan outlined his responsibilities as captain, including attending presentations, handling conferences, and carrying out tasks. He emphasized that all players are leaders in their own right and contribute to the team’s success.

Pakistan has announced 15-member squads for both tours, with Rizwan available for the Australia matches and Zimbabwe ODIs but not the T20Is. The squads include three debutants: Kamran Ghulam, Omair Bin Yousuf, and Sufyan Moqim.
