Rizwan will be working as the deputy for Shaheen Shah Afridi, who was elevated to the role after Babar Azam's exit as the captain of the team in all three formats of the game. Since the conclusion of the ODI World Cup 2023, a lot has changed in the Pakistan team's leadership and board structure. Rizwan's appointment as the vice-captain in T20Is is part of the restructuring process.
Former New Zealand star Grant Bradburn on Monday announced his retirement from his position as the Pakistan team's high-performance coach. The former Kiwi batter was appointed by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) as the head coach of the team for a two-year period. However, after the appointment of Mohammed Hafeez as the Director of the Pakistan men's cricket team in November last year, PCB changed the portfolio of the entire coaching staff which included Bradburn. He took to X to announce his retirement from his post.
Muhammad Hafeez, Director of the Pakistan team, revealed that Shaheen Shah Afridi approached him with a request to take a break from the third and final Test against Australia at Sydney, contrary to the belief that it was the team management's decision to rest the left-arm pacer. Australia defeated Pakistan by eight wickets at SCG on Saturday to complete a 3-0 series win. “We took the decision to rest Shaheen and manage his workload because we didn't want his body to be adversely affected,” Hafeez said after the third Test against Australia.
Legendary Pakistan pacer Wasim Akram blasted a fan for the latter's 'inappropriate' comment on his wife. The ex-Pakistan captain had uploaded a picture with his wife days ago. "Here's hoping for a better year! Wishing you and your families all the love, safety and prosperity for 2024, all the best from my family to yours," wrote Akram in the caption. However, one the fans commented, "Ufff she is such a hotwife." Akram wasted no time in schooling the user.
Australia star opener David Warner bid adieu to Test cricket as he played his last match in the longest format on Saturday against Pakistan.

Making his Test debut back in 2011, Warner played 112 matches and scored a whopping total of 8786 runs. Apart from his heroic knocks, Warner also formed a great opening pair with his fellow teammate Usman Khawaja. The duo provided a strong base to Australia's batting line-up for several years.
