Former Pakistan captains Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan were not included in the squad for the T20 series against New Zealand in April this year. Amidst the continuous poor performance of the team, both of them felt like their T20 career is over. On this, the team’s new head coach Mike Hessen said something that says that his T20 career is not over yet.
Two legends of Pakistan cricket team Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan were dropped from the T20 series against New Zealand. Earlier, Rizwan was also removed from the captaincy and replaced Salman Ali Aga in his place, although this did not change the poor condition of the team and the team lost 1-4 to New Zealand. & Nbsp;
Earlier in the Champions Trophy, Pakistan cricket team was eliminated from the group stage as a host. Now for the limited overs, the Pakistan Cricket Board has made Mike Hasan of New Zealand the head coach. Quoting a source associated with PCB, News18 reported that in a conversation with the selectors this week, Hasan has favored to feed Babur and Rizwan.
Senior selector expressed doubt
The report quoted the source as saying, ‘Mike Hessen told the selectors that they feel that Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan can still give a lot to the team with their experience. He wants to give him another chance before deciding his future in T20. & Rsquo;
The source said that senior selector Aqib Javed had expressed doubts about the understanding of including Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan in future T20 schemes. However, Mike Hassan wants both the veterans to play in this format. He wants to test them because his experience will be important.
The source said, Pakistan’s team will be announced for the domestic series against Bangladesh. There is every possibility of return of both players. & Rsquo;
Pakistan has to play a 5-match T20 series at home grounds in Lahore and Faisalabad. The first match was scheduled on May 25, but the postponement of PSL may also change its schedule. Team
