Pakistan’s T20I Loss Rizwan Babar’s Rankings & PCB’s Invitation
It’s worth noting Pakistan suffered a 0-2 loss in the three-match T20I series against South Africa after the third match was abandoned due to persistent rain in Johannesburg on 14 December.
This was Mohammad Rizwan’s second consecutive T20I series loss, since becoming Pakistan’s white-ball captain.

Meanwhile, Babar Azam, who bagged a four-ball duck in the first T20I, scored 31 off 20 in the second match and moved one place up to sixth spot in the ICC T20I Batting Rankings.
Other than Babar and Rizwan, there is no batter from Pakistan in the top 50 batters, with Saim Ayub being the third-best-ranked batter from the country.
