Recently, news has been heard that factionalism, rivalry, infighting is going on in Pakistan's dressing room. It has an impact on the performance of the team. However, Pakistan may have put an end to those rumors by winning the ODI series in Australia for the first time since 2002 on Sunday. And the new captain Mohammad Rizwan told about his different mindset about leadership.
Rizwan succeeded Babar Azam and led Pakistan for the first time in white-ball cricket. Despite losing the first match in Australia, the team performed incredibly in the next two matches, especially in bowling. Pakistan won the last ODI by 8 wickets in the pair of Rizwan and Babar in Perth.
In the post-match presentation, the Pakistan captain said it was a special moment for him. Rizwan hopes that this success of the team will make the people of the country happy after the poor performance of the last few years.
About the captaincy, Rizwan said, he works by considering everyone's suggestions on the field. He said, 'It was a special moment for me. Today the people of the country will be very happy. In the last few years we have not performed as per expectations. I am captain only for toss and presentation. Everyone in the field gives me advice, the batting group and the bowling group.'
Rizwan gave special credit to the bowlers for winning the series. Because the conditions for tourists in Australia are very difficult. Besides, he praised Saim Ayyub and Abdullah Shafiq for building the foundation of victory by chasing runs in the last two matches, 'All credit goes to the bowlers. Australia is not an easy team in Australia, the conditions go with their style of play. But the bowlers were outstanding. Credit must also be given to the two openers. They made the run chase easy.'
