After the horror T20 World Cup campaign, Rizwan agrees with PCB Chief and says ‘operation is necessary’
One of the players of Team Pakistan, Mohammad Rizwan, has agreed with Mohsin Naqvi's comment about doing a ‘major surgery’ on the team. The chief of the Pakistan Cricket Board had said so after Babar Azam-led Pakistan lost to arch-rivals India in New York and had been virtually knocked out of the T20 World Cup.
Returning home after crashing out of the Group Stage, the wicketkeeper talked with the media in Peshawar. He said, “The criticism the team is facing is justified, and we deserve this since we didn’t perform in accordance with expectations. Players who can’t face criticism won’t be able to succeed.”
He further said, “We are disappointed with our performance in the T20 World Cup. There are multiple reasons behind our losses. When a team loses, one can’t say that bowling and batting are doing well.”
The keeper hinted that players will drop following their display in America, and who stays on the Pakistan team is up to the PCB Chief.
“Operations are a normal thing. When a person is ill, an operation is necessary. The PCB Chairman is a hard-working person. The decision about who will remain in the team and who will not is the chairman’s right,” Rizwan concluded.
