Rizwan, who will lead Pakistan in his maiden match, said yesterday that Babar Azam, Shaheen, and Naseem Shah have performed for Pakistan.

“All 15 members of the team are captains. Fakhar Zaman and Imam ul Haq have also given several match-winning performances,” Rizwan said.

He said, “Offering chance to young players, we are creating back-up for the team,” he added.
