“I’m not fazed by the competition; I’m myself trying to search for more 'keepers": Mohammad Rizwan

Rizwan speaking in an interview:

“I’d love to have not one or two but at least five wicket-keepers in the Pakistan squad,”

“But they need to meet the required standards for it.

“I’m not fazed by the competition; in fact, I’m myself trying to search for more wicket-keepers in Pakistan.”

“I’ve recently seen Haseebullah, he is performing well and his technique is really good,” said Rizwan. “However, it is important for players [performing in the domestic circuit] to play at the level that is required as a Pakistan player, otherwise the performances go to waste.”

“The way we have played in Multan, we will try to carry that momentum on to other venues as well,” he said. “I don’t think any of the venues particularly favours a specific team but the crowd does make a little impact.”

“We are well aware of the challenges at play having left-handers throughout our middle-order but against Karachi, it was the first time that they really struggled,” argued Rizwan. “I couldn’t really judge the pitch. How Shoaib Malik bowled that day was worth watching. But I’m sure how big these names are they will be able to tackle spinners in the coming matches but it is also important for us to be prepared accordingly.”
 
Fact is Rizwan is the best keeper we have so cannot see him being dropped from the side.
 
What does he mean required standards?

Is constantly botching the powerplay as an opener a required standard according to him?
 
He makes a good point about not rushing youngsters into international cricket when they are clearly not ready.

We've seen it again and again where young players are brought into international cricket on the back of a couple of good performances at the PSL and they struggle at the highest level.
