Mohammad Rizwan: The England cricket team is going to tour Pakistan next month, where a 3-match Test series is to be played between the two teams (PAK vs ENG) and this series can bring some big changes in Pakistan cricket.

Let us tell you that the Pakistani team had to face defeat against Bangladesh at home recently. In such a situation, we may see some big changes in the Pakistani team this time and in this episode, star wicketkeeper batsman Mohammad Rizwan can be made the captain.

Mohammad Rizwan can become the new captain

It is worth noting that Babar Azam was removed from the captaincy after the disappointing performance in the ICC World Cup 2023. After this, the captaincy of the Test team was given to Shan Masood but under his leadership the team has faced defeat first against Australia and now against Bangladesh.

In such a situation, Masood can be removed from the captaincy and now Mohammad Rizwan can be appointed as the new captain of the team. Rizwan has been performing well for the Pakistani team for the last several years and for this reason he can be given the responsibility of captaincy.

Babar Azam and Naseem Shah may be out

If we talk about Babar Azam, he has been continuously failing in the Test format for some time now and has not been able to score a single half-century in this format since 2021. So his best score during this period has been 44 runs and due to this he can be dropped from the Test series against England.

On the other hand, the sword of elimination is also hanging over the young fast bowler Naseem Shah and this player can also be shown the way out. Shah has also been continuously injured for some time and his performance has declined and due to this he can be dropped.

If we talk about this series, a 3-match Test series is to be played between the two teams and it is to start from October 7. Its first match is to be played in Multan but work is going on in the stadium there and due to this the series can be shifted to UAE or Sri Lanka.

This is how the Pakistani team could be

Abdullah Shafique, Saim Ayub, Mohammad Hurairia, Saud Shakeel, Agha Salman, Kamran Ghulam, Mohammad Rizwan (wicketkeeper/captain), Sarfraz Ahmed (wicketkeeper), Aamer Jamal, Mir Hamza, Mohammad Ali, Abrar Ahmed, Shaheen Afridi, Khurram Shahzad, Zaman Khan.
