The debate around Pakistan’s new white-ball captain and vice-captain is set to be settled after PCB chairman, Mohsin Naqvi met with the national team members following their historic Test series win against England.
According to various reports, Mohsin Naqvi has made his decision to appoint Pakistan’s long-standing wicket-keeper batter, Mohammad Rizwan as the captain of the white-ball side while all-rounder Salman Ali Agha will likely be his deputy in the ODI format.
Whether both Rizwan and Salman Ali Agha be appointed in the roles for the T20I side is yet to be revealed.
In the meeting with the national team players, Naqvi held one-on-one meetings with both Rizwan and Agha which has indicated that both the players will be appointed as the leaders for the white-ball side.
Ever since former captain, Babar Azam resigned from his role as the captain of the white-ball squad, the debate around the new captain has been hot among the faithful fans and experts surrounding Pakistan cricket.
Pakistan will be hoping that the new captain can help instill the same belief of the series winning red-ball team and carry this momentum onto their next challenge in Australia.
The Men in Green are set to play a 3-match ODI and T20I series Downunder, with the tour set to commence on 4 November.
