Mohammad Rizwan, Pakistan’s wicket-keeper batter, has been named the captain of the Vancouver Knights for the Global T20 Canada 2024.
This also means that the white-ball captain of the Pakistan cricket team, Babar Azam, will be playing under Mohammed Rizwan in this T20 tournament, scheduled to be played from July 25.
“The Vancouver Knights have chosen their captain for GT20 Season 4: Sir Muhammad Rizwan. With his mighty batting skills and sharp wicket keeping, he’s ready to lead our charge to victory. Prepare for battle, Knights!,” the Vancouver Knights said in a statement.
Given Babar Azam‘s inconsistent captaincy record, whether for the Pakistan cricket team or in the Pakistan Super League, this development isn’t surprising. On the other hand, Mohammad Rizwan has proven to be a highly effective captain.
Apart from Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, Pakistan players such as Shaheen Afridi, Shadab Khan, Iftikhar Ahmed, and Mohammad Nawaz will be also competing in the Global T20 Canada 2024.
Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan had a quiet run with the bat in the T20 World Cup 2024. They are keen to stage a comeback and regain their touch, making the Global T20 Canada 2024 an excellent opportunity to start anew.
