Pakistan go into the T20I series on the back of beating Australia 2-1 in ODIs, their first series win coming in the country after 22 years. Now Rizwan is all set to become the 12th man to lead Pakistan in T20Is.<p>\u201cWe are confident after beating Australia in the ODI series but international cricket is always challenging so we aim to do things as better as we can going into this T20I series against Australia,\u201d said Rizwan in a statement ahead of the series opener in Brisbane.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cWe have determined the roles of various players in the team and look forward to executing our best plans not just in this series but also in the upcoming white-ball fixtures against Zimbabwe and South Africa. My intent is to keep everyone in the group involved and positive about the game. Of course, the conditions have helped the bowlers on this tour so far but we also want to prove our mettle as a batting unit and I look forward to an exciting contest in the three matches,\" said Rizwan.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>For the T20I series, Jahandad Khan, Mohammad Abbas Afridi, Omair Bin Yousuf, Sahibzada Farhan, Sufiyan Moqim, and Usman Khan have linked up with Pakistan. Pakistan last played a T20I series in Australia in November 2019, which the hosts won 2-0 after the opening game was washed out.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Josh Inglis, Australia\u2019s captain for the T20I series, felt it was unfair to label the squad as a \u2018B\u2019 team, especially with criticism after the ODI series defeat coming on the lines of them being too much focused on the marquee Border-Gavaskar Trophy series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s very fair to say that, but we know how challenging the schedule is. There\u2019s always a series overlapping where players are used (in different) formats. There are decisions to be made. That\u2019s above my pay grade, thankfully. There were big losses (in the ODI series), and typically not something that we\u2019re very used to.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Josh Inglis, Australia\u2019s captain for the T20I series, felt it was unfair to label the squad as a \u2018B\u2019 team, especially with criticism after the ODI series defeat coming on the lines of them being too much focused on the marquee Border-Gavaskar Trophy series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/tagging\/highest-tax-paying-cricketers\">Highest tax paying cricketers<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Article Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ians.in\/english-wire\/sports\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\">IANS<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n",
