[VIDEOS] What now for Mohammad Rizwan?

Let's stop bringing religion and tableeghi jamat stuff here..... Talk about cricket
 
As i said before he was appointed that WK and batting is hard enough. But to add Captaincy to the burden requires amazing energy and concentration powers. Bat at 5 and Keep. So far Captaincy is ok but nothing to write home about, if we get knocked out tomorrow. It's good night nurse.
 
The man fought demons in the pitch to salvage Pakistan’s pride today. Show him love.
 
Get rid of him. Evey innings is the same rubbish. He's the reason we will lose today.
 
3. Captain’s extremely cowardly approach as a batter. Shades of the torturous Misbah ul Haq era.

This cannot be emphasized enough. The Pakistan cricket team captain must come clean and explain why he feels that he alone is allowed to play a pace that isn’t what is expected from the rest of the team in their respective batting positions. Since his appointment as the leader, and with glimpses of this approach in the Champion’s cup too, Mohammad Rizwan has habitually become a batter that completely switches himself off from the requirement of the game, almost inviting his teammates to give him the excuse to simply play selfishly and cowardly. Some recent stats:

Champion’s cup: 186 balls faced, sr 80. (poor)

Australia series: 98 balls faced, sr of 75 (not good enough)

South Africa series: 139 balls faced, sr 96.4 (respectable)

Zimbabwe series: 90 balls faced, sr 62.2 (Pathetic)

Tri series: 215 balls faced, sr 79.5 (useless)

Overall since ODI World Cup 2023: 914 balls faced in 50 over cricket, sr 78.62!! This is extremely poor going into a tournament as the captain of a side will need his side to produce scores strong enough on to challenge given that there may not be much on offer for his bowlers. A strike rate hovering around 80 is UNJUSTIFIABLE for a player that has stubbornly cried and insisted on batting in positions where he feels comfortable, whilst many players have been forced to shift around throughout the last 5 years to accommodate him. I do not believe this is a deliberate ploy and is a requirement for Pakistan cricket, unless we have conceded as a nation that is on par with associates such as Norway and Germany. My own opinion is that Rizwan masks his incompetence as a batter with this pathetic approach to bide himself enough time at the crease to find the pace of the wicket to get himself going. This is also being replicated by his friend Khushdil Shah who also needs a long time at the crease to kick off and hit the one shot he has to deep midwicket. A horrendous and rubbish approach that has been the cause of Pakistan’s downfall in the past and still being persisted with by a leader who has learned from his mentor at SNGPL. This pathetic approach will cost Pakistan
 
Hes fine ... nothing wrong with him.

Ive seeb the talent behing him ... God help us!
 
Even though this was ODI cricket he should be sacked from T20 captaincy. He is completely unfit for that role.
 
The sacrificial lamb will be Aaqib. Silly sausage should have stuck being the lead selector rather thinking he could be a super all format coach.

Do we really think the likes of Afridi, Haris, Rizwan, Naseem and Babar will be dropped from the white ball team after our official exit from the Champions Trophy is confirmed?

For one, Shahid Afridi will be moaning on all the tv channels to get his son restored to the captaincy of the white ball team. I really don't think the PCB have the courage to drop these players. "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.”
 
molana rizlu is an excellent wicket keeper batsman, its the failure of the Pakistani set up that despite being a political player and showing minimal aptitude for being a specialist white ball batsmen or a captain they have tried to make him into dhoni 2.0.

he is an automatic selection as a keeper, but he should never bat above six, he is effective, but his technique is not strong good enough to be a specialist batsman. his elevation to a role of such significance is a failure of Pakistani cricket, hes the only international-level cricketer in the team.
 
After Babar, he was logically the next choice as limited overs Kuptaan. However, this tournament has proved that he is just a clone of Babar when it comes to captaincy with the same cowardly, timid approach. Any further continuation of him as Kuptaan is just wasting everyone's time and wffort

While he gets into the team purely as the wicket-keeper batsman (due to scarce back-up replacements), the questions remains if he would able to function as a player only in the team and be able to take orders? Or will he start complaining again about his batting position and not put in the effort? I'm afraid it is more likely to be the latter case...

One thing is for sure. Babar and Rizwan should never be in the playing 11 as the negative mindset they bring will never enable Pakistan to win tournaments. When push came to shove and they got close like Asia Cup final or the T20 World Cup final, they faltered.

I would like to see someone like Agha as Kuptaan with Ayub as his VC personally but it all depends if they can break out of the spell that the likes of RizBar have on them as the next person in charge will have to be ruthless.

Aqib isn't the lamb you think he is. He is the executioner of Kirsten and Gillespie.
 
He needs to be dropped from white ball cricket until he learns how to play on the offside.

Surely they are past any improvement in their game

The players who didnt support Riz will have to pay the price.

Riz will also need to leave the no.4 slot in ODIs as I have previously proposed.
