The proposal to feed Pakistan Test team vice-captain Muhammad Rizwan as a batsman in the Test series against Sri Lanka is under consideration.
The 16-member cricket team under the leadership of captain Babar Azam is in Sri Lanka where they have to play 2 matches of the ICC Test Championship.
The first Test will start in Galle from July 16. It is reported that vice-captain Muhammad Rizwan, who is finding it difficult to get a place in the team as a wicket-keeper after Sarfaraz Ahmed’s inclusion in the squad, has been selected as a specialist batsman in Galle. It is likely to be included in the test.
31-year-old Muhammad Rizwan has scored 1373 runs with 2 centuries and 7 fifties in 43 innings of 27 Tests at an average of 38.13.
Former Test captain Sarfaraz Ahmed was included in the team for the 2-Test series against New Zealand, where he scored 3 half-centuries and a century in 4 innings and won the man-of-the-series award.
On this performance, captain Babar Azam has said before leaving for Sri Lanka that Sarfraz Ahmed will be his first choice as a wicketkeeper, but now there are reports that Mohammad Rizwan, who was dropped from the team due to poor batting performance, will be included in the Galle Test. It is recommended to feed as a specialist batsman.
Mohammad Rizwan played his first Test as a batsman under the leadership of Azhar Ali in November 2016, where he was dismissed for zero in the first innings, while in the second innings he was not out by scoring 13 runs.
Sarfraz Ahmed played as a wicket keeper in this test match of Hamilton.
