In preparation for the Twenty20 World Cup, Pakistan’s batting coach Mohammad Yousuf has said that there would not be any changes made to the opening duo of the national team, which consists of captain Babar Azam and wicket-keeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan.

“Over the course of the last two years, the duo has maintained a position of prominence. There has been no discussion about it, and considering that the World Cup is coming up soon, there shouldn’t be any adjustments made “Yousuf made these comments to the media at a post-match conference that took place after New Zealand had defeated Pakistan by nine wickets.

“Taking such a big gamble is fraught with peril. In the first match, Rizwan was selected as the Player of the Match; however, Babar went on to win the accolade in subsequent matches “Yousuf stated.
