Captain Babar & Vice-Captain Rizwan
At 31 years old, Muhammad Rizwan brings a wealth of experience and skill to his new role. His earlier appointment as vice-captain of Pakistan’s T20 team demonstrated the trust and confidence that the PCB has in his abilities both on and off the field.
The decision comes alongside the reappointment of star batter Babar Azam as the captain of Pakistan’s white-ball cricket team, just ahead of the ongoing T20I series against New Zealand on home soil. This strategic move aims to ensure stability and continuity in the team’s leadership structure, providing a solid foundation for success in upcoming matches and tournaments.
