Pakistan cricket has been going through a torrid time recently, and have been losing matches one after another. They could not do well in Champions Trophy 2025, and after that PCB decided to drop the likes of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan from the T20I team.
However, it did not change their fortunes, and they lost both T20I series and ODI series in New Zealand, and things are going downhill for Pakistan cricket with each passing series. Mohammad Rizwan was the captain of the ODI side, and was asked some though questions after the whitewash by the Kiws in the 50-over format.
Rizwan Gives Brutal Reply On Non-Selection In T20Is
One of those questions was about he and Babar Azam not being in the T20I side, and Rizwan did not leave any stones unturned in his reply. Rizwan replied with brutal honesty and stated that he cannot talk anything about the performace of the T20 team and selection in the fomat as it is not his job.
However, he stated that selectors of PCB did not consult him or Babar Azam before dropping them from the T20I team. He also mentioned that it is the deicison of selectors and they accept it.
"I can't say anything on behalf of the T20s because it's not my job, and not a lot is in my hands. They didn't consult us before dropping us from the T20I team. It's their decision, and we accept that."
Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam would be next seen in action in PSL 2025, where the former would lead Multan Sultans, and the latter will captain Peshawar Zalmi.
