Ogromny ból głowy dla PCB, Rizwan faworytem w wyścigu o stanowisko kapitana, ale kto będzie wicekapitanem?

It has become clear in the last few days, that Mohammad Rizwan will be Pakistan’s new white-ball skipper, but the formal announcement hasn’t been made formally by the PCB. But even before that problem is solved, the board faces a bigger problem — who will be Rizwan’s deputy?

Mohammad Rizwan Tipped to be New Skipper

After Babar Azam stepped down from the role, the musical chairs in Pakistan cricket team has started once again. For the role of the vice-captain, as per a report in Cricket Pakistan, Shadab Khan, Saim Aub, Shan Masood, and Shaheen Afridi are in consideration.

“In which case, Rizwan’s deputy will lead the team,” the source said. “Shadab Khan, Saim Ayub, Shan Masood, and Shaheen are the other candidates under consideration for either the role of Rizwan’s deputy or leading the T20I or ODI side,” PTI was quoted as saying.

Trouble Mounts for Pakistan Cricket Team

“Mohammad Rizwan is the obvious choice for the white-ball captaincy given that, along with Babar, he is the only player who is an automatic selection in all formats of the game,” PCB source said.

“But things are not so simple because, with the hectic international calendar of the team, the workload on Rizwan is a worrying factor for red-ball coach, Jason Gillespie, Kirsten, the PCB, and the selectors,” the source added.

But one of the talking points is, the workload of the new skipper. The Pakistan cricket team is playing 18 ODIs and T20Is vs Australia, Zimbabwe, and South Africa in November and December.
