On Sunday, October 27, the PCB finally announced Mohammad Rizwan as Babar Azam's  replacement for ODI and T20I captain. The star keeper-batter will lead the side against Australia in the multi-white-ball format series starting on November 4. 

Notably, Pakistan had a string of poor results in bilateral and ICC events, which led to Babar Azam stepping down from the post. Rizwan was reported to be the frontrunner for a long time but was officially unveiled as the new captain on Sunday. 

Rizwan Opens Up On His Leadership Style

Meanwhile, the right-hand batter thanked his fans for their support and also credited the PCB for backing him. Further, Rizwan talked about his leadership style and remarked that he would be a 'captain, not a king'.

"If I start considering myself a king as captain, then everything will fall apart. Rather, as a leader, I am here to serve the 15 men of the team. This is how it should be. Regarding achievements, Inshallah, we have the messages and support from everyone in our box, who are asking us only one thing: fight, fight, and fight. They keep sending us this message again and again, and we will try our best, Inshallah, to show the whole nation that there is no lack of fight in us."

Salman Ali Agha Named The Vice-Captain

Rizwan, further stated that they are not bothered about the results, but assured the fans of giving their 100% on the field and showing the fighting spirit. 

Other than Rizwan, Salman Ali Agha has been named as the vice-captain of the white-ball team. Further, Agha is expected to lead the side in Pakistan's upcoming tour against Zimbabwe as Mohammad Rizwan has been given a rest, because of a crucial away Test series to South Africa.
