Pakistan’s white-ball captain, Mohammad Rizwan, exudes confidence in his team’s ability to triumph in the upcoming T20 international series against Australia. His aspirations extend beyond victory, aiming for a clean sweep of the home team.
Pakistan’s recent ODI series triumph in Australia, their first since 2002, came as a surprise to many. The Australian team’s decision to rest five senior players for the decider in Perth drew criticism from former players and disappointment from Cricket Australia CEO Nick Hockley.
Pakistan’s white-ball coach, Jason Gillispie, expressed disappointment over Cricket Australia’s perceived lack of promotion for the Pakistan-Australia series.
Rizwan believes that a united Pakistan team can achieve a whitewash in the T20 series. He emphasized the importance of appropriate conduct on tour, reminding players of their role as ambassadors for Pakistan.
“We must strive to win major titles like the World Cups and Champions Trophy to showcase the true potential of Pakistan cricket,” Rizwan stated.
He urged the team to break long-standing records of underperformance in various countries. Rizwan’s leadership style involves consulting with players and officials to ensure clarity in decision-making.
