Mohammad Rizwan has recently been given the command of Pakistan team. After the resignation of Babar Azam, Pakistan Cricket Board has made him the new white ball captain. As soon as he became the captain, he gave a statement regarding the Indian team. Before leaving for Australia tour, Rizwan held a press conference and talked about the controversies going on in the Pakistani team ranging from captaincy. During this, he was also asked about Team India going to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy. Rizwan has talked about giving a grand welcome to the Indian team.
What else did Rizwan say about Team India?
When Mohammad Rizwan was asked about India, he recalled the 2023 ODI World Cup and said that the entire Pakistan team had received tremendous love in India. He further said that Pakistani fans like Indian players very much. Everyone wants India to come there to play. In such a situation, if Team India goes to Pakistan to play the Champions Trophy, it will get two-three times more love. However, he made it clear that what decision will be taken is not in his hands. So will have to wait.
There is still doubt over Team India going to Pakistan. BCCI has not yet clarified its stand regarding going to Pakistan. The Indian Board says that everything depends on the decision of the government. Let us tell you that many reports have come out so far regarding Team India’s participation in the Champions Trophy. It is also expected that if permission is not given by the Indian government, then the Champions Trophy to be hosted by Pakistan can be played in the hybrid model. Recently, the England Cricket Board had also said that this tournament cannot be thought of without Team India.
Is there division in Pakistan team?
PCB has shared some pictures, according to which the Pakistani team has left for Australia tour. During this, the player was seen in two different parts. According to the report, apart from Babar Azam, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf, Irfan Khan Niazi and Faizal Akram have already reached Melbourne. But new captain Mohammad Rizwan and other players of the squad were not seen with him. All of them left together separately.
Recently Rizwan had said that as a captain, he would like to be more of a servant than a king. Let us tell you that Pakistani fans call Babar Azam ‘King’. Rizwan has also become the captain in his place. In such a situation, his statement is being linked to Babar Azam. It is believed that Rizwan has targeted Babar.
