Pair of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan is Pakistan’s best-ever pair, I am surprised that people want to separate them – Ramiz Raja

Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Ramiz Raja has heaped praise on Pakistan’s opening pair of Babar Azam and Mohammed Rizwan, stating that these are Pakistan’s best-ever duo. Azam and Rizwan have done a fine job for Pakistan in recent times and their records speak for themselves.

However, both of these openers have been under scrutiny for their sedate strike rate at the top of the order. Rizwan was criticized for his recent knock in the Asia Cup final against Sri Lanka when he could only score 55 runs from 49 balls.

However, it should be noted that Rizwan has been super consistent for the national team at the top of the order.

“People say we play old-style T20, I disagree, our team is very good”, Ramiz Raja said while talking to Cricket Pakistan.
“Pair of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan is our best-ever pair, I am surprised that people want to separate them. In the past, more than ten pairs were tried and people used to say that the Pakistan team did not have a good pair, now that we have a great pair of openers, people discuss what binds our fantastic openers together”, he further added.

The PCB chairman went on to add that Pakistan has been performing consistently and backed the team to deliver the goods. The Men in Green are currently taking on New Zealand and Bangladesh in tri-series and have won six out of their last 11 matches.

“Pressure is in every game. Pakistan team was not given much importance in the last World Cup, but we won five matches. We have to give credit to this team, this team does not disappoint. Their achievements are very high. When the winning graph is seventy-five percent, it means you are making less mistakes. Consistency in performance every day is not easy, it is a tough game”, the 60-year-old said.

Pakistan will begin its T20 World Cup campaign against arch-rivals India at the iconic MCG on 23rd October. The Men in Green had beaten India in the previous edition of the T20I showpiece.
