Former player Basit Ali wants to see Pakistan’s best wicketkeeper-batsman Mohammad Rizwan as the next captain of the national team. Basit Ali said after the recent match played between Markhors and Stallions in the Champions ODI Cup that Mohammad Rizwan understands the pitch very well and Babar Azam also faces a lot of problems in this art.

In the Champions One Day Cup match played on 15 September, Markhors batted first and scored 231 runs under the captaincy of Mohammad Rizwan at Iqbal Stadium in Faisalabad. In reply, the Stallions team was all out for 105 runs. Mohammad Rizwan and company won this match by 126 runs.

Basit Ali shared the video on his official YouTube channel and said, ‘Looking at the way Mohammad Rizwan captained the team, it can be said that there is no better captain than him. He took very good decisions in this match and also read the pitch brilliantly. This is one place where Babar Azam also has trouble. I am not even talking about Shan Masood.

If you do not make Mohammad Rizwan the captain at this time, it will be a big defeat for Pakistan. This is the best time to make Mohammad Rizwan the captain.

Here is the video:

For quite some time now, there have been reports that Mohammad Rizwan could be appointed as the captain of Pakistan’s white ball team after Babar Azam. Under the captaincy of Babar Azam, the Pakistan team performed very poorly in the T20 World Cup 2024 and the team was eliminated from the group stage.

Talking about Mohammad Rizwan, he has also captained the Multan Sultan team in the Pakistan Super League and his record as a captain has also been excellent. Now it remains to be seen what decision the Pakistan Cricket Board takes regarding Mohammad Rizwan?
