In a spectacular gesture of sportsmanship and team spirit, Rizwan took to Twitter on Friday to congratulate Sarfaraz on being named the best player of the series in the second Test against New Zealand for the first time in half a century.
An ongoing dispute has been reported between former captain Sarfaraz his Ahmed and Muhammad his Rizwan within his team of Pakistani cricket over the wicketkeeper’s position. In September 2022, former Pakistani cricketer Sikander Bakht made a shocking revelation, after which Rizwan said he would not let Sarfaraz return to the Pakistani team. After being laid off, he got the chance to play in his first friendly against New Zealand in December 2022. Sarfaraz took a two-handed chance when he slammed in his 86th inning, the first of 153. Sarfaraz had chances against New Zealand in both tests, but Rizwan was on the bench in both games. Interestingly, the former Pakistani captain also appeared as a player in the series, announcing a strong candidacy against Rizwan, whose batting form has recently declined. Sarfaraz was also the top his run-getter in the series, scoring a staggering 83.75 average in his two Tests, where he scored 335 runs.
But Rizwan seems unperturbed by his 35-year-old wicket-keeper and batsman’s impressive play. In a grand gesture of sportsmanship and team spirit, he took to Twitter on Friday to congratulate the Surfers on being named series players for the second Test against New Zealand for the first time in half a century. “Another great hit from Saifi Bai. This is what hard work and faith in Allah will bring you. Muje Saifi Bai k series man hone se aisi hi khushi jase ye mujhe mila ho. Posted by Rizwan. However, Sarfaraz were not included in the squad for the ODI series in the three games against New Zealand. Complementing the entire episode, interim chief his selector Shahid his Afridi announced at a press conference: -Keeper in both T20Is and his ODIs. “
“If Rizwan is injured or tired, it is forbidden to consider other options.
