NEW DELHI: Former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali has suggested appointing Mohammad Rizwan as the new captain of Pakistan's Test team, asserting that his leadership could lead to a victory against England in the upcoming home Test series.
Ali’s statement follows Pakistan's recent struggles under current Test skipper Shan Masood, who took on the role after Babar Azam stepped down post the group-stage exit at the 2023 ODI World Cup. Masood’s tenure has seen Pakistan lose all five matches, including a 2-0 home series defeat to Bangladesh.
