T20 World Cup:
Prior to the T20 World Cup, Pakistan's batting coach Mohammad Yousuf has ruled out replacing the opening duo of captain Babar Azam and wicket-keeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan.
Press Conference:
"The couple has been playing at the highest level for the past two years. There hasn't been any discussion of it, and since the World Cup is coming up, nothing should alter "Yousuf made the statement during a post-game press conference following Pakistan's nine-wicket loss to New Zealand.
"To take such a gamble is dangerous. In the first game, Rizwan was named Player of the Match; nevertheless, Babar afterwards took home the prize "stated Yousuf.
Since:
Since Rizwan and Babar began opening the batting together, they have amassed more than 2,000 runs in tandem.
The Green Shirts' middle order, however, does not seem spectacular and is receiving harsh criticism after they lost a home series against England, despite the fact that the opening pair is in excellent form.
Calls to demote Babar or Rizwan have been made in light of the middle order's failings. The coach clarified that there were no plans to do this.
Upcoming:
In light of the upcoming World Cup, "the management believes that modifications shouldn't be made to the way the two are playing," he continued.
The T20 World Cup's opening encounter between the Babar Azam-led team and India is slated for October 23 at the venerable Melbourne Cricket Ground.
At The Gabba in Brisbane, the national team will play exhibition games against Afghanistan and England beforehand.
