Conditions Have Helped Bowlers, But Want To Prove Our Mettle As A Batting Unit, Says Rizwan
Mohammad Abbas Afridi: Ahead of Pakistan kick-starting their three-match T20I series against Australia, skipper Mohammad Rizwan said despite the conditions helping bowlers on their tour so far, the visitors are keen to prove their mettle as a batting unit. Pakistan go into the T20I series on the back of beating Australia 2-1 in ODIs, their first series win coming in the country after 22 years. Now Rizwan is all set to become the 12th man to lead Pakistan in T20Is.
“We are confident after beating Australia in the ODI series but international cricket is always challenging so we aim to do things as better as we can going into this T20I series against Australia,” said Rizwan in a statement ahead of the series opener in Brisbane.
“We have determined the roles of various players in the team and look forward to executing our best plans not just in this series but also in the upcoming white-ball fixtures against Zimbabwe and South Africa. My intent is to keep everyone in the group involved and positive about the game. Of course, the conditions have helped the bowlers on this tour so far but we also want to prove our mettle as a batting unit and I look forward to an exciting contest in the three matches," said Rizwan.
