LAHORE, OCT 27: Wicket-keeper batter Mohammad Rizwan has been appointed as the captain of Pakistan’s white-ball cricket teams, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi announced on Sunday.
The development came after Babar Azam, on October 2, stepped down as the captain of white-ball teams, saying he wanted “to prioritise my performance, enjoy batting, and spend quality time with family”.
Rizwan’s first assignment as the skipper will be a three-match one-day international (ODI) and T20I series against Australia commencing from November 4.
Furthermore, Naqvi announced that spin-allrounder Salman Ali Agha has been named vice-captain of the Pakistan cricket team.
However, Agha will lead the T20I side in Zimbabwe as Rizwan is rested under a workload management plan, stated a press release issued by the cricket governing body.
