Islamabad: Pakistan wicketkeeper batsman Muhammad Rizwan has told the management to drop him from the team for the Test series against New Zealand due to his bad form. Rizwan also revealed in an interview that he was suggested to take former Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed in the team instead of him.
Rizwan scored a total of 141 runs in the three-match series against England. Rizwan was not included in the squad for the Test series against the Kiwis that followed. Rizwan told Cricket Pakistan that he did not deserve a place in the team due to his poor batting performance.
“You can ask Pakistan team head coach Saqlan Mushtaq what I said after the Test series against England. I am happy that Sarfaraz Ahmed is playing well. Because I wanted it. I didn’t play well against England and felt that I didn’t deserve a place in the team for the next series. “Some players told me that they should not sit on the bench because of some bad performances,” revealed Mohammad Rizwan.
Sarfaraz Ahmed brought out the best batting performance in the Test series against New Zealand. The player scored 335 runs from two Tests.
