After Babar Azam resigned from the captaincy, wicketkeeper-batsman Mohammad Rizwan became a strong candidate for the leadership.
According to private TV, after the resignation of Babar Azam from the captaincy of T20 and ODI formats, there has been a proposal to give the leadership of Mohammad Rizwan ODI and T20 to Mohammad Haris.
The head coach of the white ball team, Gary Kirsten, wanted Babar Azam to continue as the captain only for the ODI format, and for this purpose, he mentioned in his report after the T20 World Cup that the star cricketer should be removed from the captaincy of the short format.
Gary Kirsten is keen to bring young cricketers forward in T20 cricket and the preference for the T20 format may be Mohammad Haris. At the same time, after Babar Azam’s resignation, Mohammad Rizwan is a strong contender to lead the ODI format. The final decision regarding the captaincy proposal in the T20 format will be taken after the approval of the selectors and the board chairman.
