During the same press conference, the PCB chairman said that Babar Azam was not pushed by the board to leave the captaincy. He said that the right-handed batter told him that he wants to let go of the leadership to focus on his own game.

Before the start of the England Test series, Babar Azam had announced that he is stepping down as Pakistan's white-ball captain to "prioritise his performance." However, poor returns in the first Test meant that Babar was dropped from the squad for the 2nd and 3rd Test against England.

Speaking of Mohammad Rizwan, he has played 74 ODIs and 102 T20Is for Pakistan. In both the formats, Rizwan averages 40.15 (ODIs) and 48.72 (T20Is).
