Pakistan's ODI captain Mohammad Rizwan shared his thoughts ahead of the series against Australia, expressing both pride and determination in leading the national team.
Acknowledging that past performances may have disappointed fans, he hopes their support will continue as the team aims to make an impact.
Rizwan emphasized that while hard work and team process are within his control, the results are ultimately in God’s hands. He added that the squad selection involved thorough consultations, with input from the selection committee and key players like Salman Ali Agha and Asad Shafiq.
Acknowledging the strength of the Australian side and their home advantage, Rizwan said, “We are not looking at them as a champion team but focusing on our own objectives.” He expressed confidence in the support of former Australian fast bowler Jason Gillespie, who has been providing valuable insights to the squad.
"Playing for Pakistan and being captain is a matter of immense pride," Rizwan concluded, noting that captaincy experience from league and domestic cricket has prepared him for the challenge. As the series begins, Rizwan and the team remain focused on their strategy and goals, intent on a strong showing.
