Mohammad Rizwan will be Pakistan’s opener in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. He and Babar Azam showed better work as openers in the previous T20I series against England and the team could retain them as openers in the World Cup as well.
Babar Azam (C)
Babar Azam is Pakistan’s captain in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 and will lead the team in the upcoming clash against India. The right-handed batsman would open the batting with Rizwan.
