Former Pakistan cricketer and commentator Ramiz Raja has named Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan as the best opening pair for Pakistan in the upcoming 2024 T20 World Cup.
The World Cup is going to be held in the USA and West Indies in June.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Ramiz Raja expressed his thoughts after Pakistan's disappointing T20I series against New Zealand.
He said, "I still believe that the Pakistani team has many answers to provide. The series has not provided any answers or solved the problems but highlighted them and brought them to the fore."
He said that our opening pair is erratic. He [Sayim Ayub] plays with his technique in the first two matches, and then if he fails, he tries to change his technique in the third match. Things become more difficult for him. Babar successes were such in his early years, he had talent but lacked confidence and experience.
According to the former PCB chairman, the return to the experienced duo of Babar and Rizwan could provide the stability and confidence that Pakistan needed at the start of the innings.
