Former Pakistan head coach Mickey Arthur believes that the side should separate the opening pair of captain Babar Azam and wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan. He added that Fakhar Zaman should open the batting, saying having the left-handed batter at the top of the order would force bowlers to change their angles while bowling to him.
While Azam and Zaman fell in power-play during their Asia Cup Group A match against India, Rizwan tried to up the ante, but ramped a short ball straight to third man off Hardik Pandya, with Pakistan eventually making 147 in 19.5 overs.
