"He Gets Quite...": Ricky Ponting On Pakistan's New White-Ball Captain Mohammad Rizwan

Former Australia skipper Ricky Ponting feels that Pakistan's newly-appointed white-ball captain Mohammad Rizwan should get a "decent run" at the role to showcase his leadership skills in the formats.

Rizwan's first assignment as captain saw Pakistan lose against ODI World champions Australia in the series opener in Melbourne last week. However, Ponting warned Pakistan's management against any impulsive decision regarding the leadership role.

The Indian cricket team, led by Rohit Sharma, suffered an embarrassing 3-0 whitewash at the hands of New Zealand in a recently-concluded Test series at home.
