Mohammad Rizwan was recently given command of the Pakistan team. After Babar Azam’s resignation, the Pakistan Cricket Board appointed him the new white-ball captain. As soon as he became captain, he made a statement about the Indian team. Before leaving for the Australia tour, Rizwan held a press conference and spoke about the controversies in the Pakistan team, right from the captaincy. During this, he was also asked about Team India’s trip to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy. Rizwan has spoken of giving a grand welcome to the Indian team.
What else did Rizwan say about Team India?
When Mohammad Rizwan was asked about India, he recalled the ODI World Cup 2023 and said that the entire Pakistan team had received a lot of love in India. He further said that Pakistani fans really like Indian players. Everyone wants India to come and play. In such a situation, if the Indian team goes to Pakistan to play the Champions Trophy, they will get two or three times more love. However, he made it clear that the decision to be made is not in his hands. Then we will have to wait.
There are still doubts about the Indian team’s arrival in Pakistan. The BCCI is yet to clarify its position on going to Pakistan. The Indian Board says it all depends on the government’s decision. Let us tell you that so far many reports have emerged regarding Team India’s participation in the Champions Trophy. It is also expected that if the Indian government does not grant permission, the Champions Trophy to be held in Pakistan can be played in the hybrid model. Recently, the England Cricket Board also said that this tournament cannot be thought of without Team India.

But new captain Mohammad Rizwan and other players of the team were not seen with him. They all left together separately.
Recently, Rizwan had said that as a captain, he would like to be more of a servant than a king. Let us tell you that Pakistani fans call Babar Azam ‘King’. Rizwan has also become the captain in his place. In such a situation, his statement is linked to Babar Azam. Rizwan is believed to have targeted Babar.
