In T20Is, did Rizwan decline to open the batting for Pakistan? In his T20 cricket career, Pakistani wicketkeeper-battler Mohammad Rizwan has discussed his batting position and stated that he has never declined to bat down the order.
In the Twenty20 International series against New Zealand, Saim Ayub teamed up with the wicketkeeper-batter to split the opening duo of Babar Azam and Rizwan. In an interview with a regional sports network, Rizwan discussed recent debates about his batting order and his willingness to go above and beyond for Pakistan.

“I never declined to take a down. I responded I’m available when requested,” Rizwan said. “I also stated that I am prepared to bowl if needed and that I can even stop keeping wickets.
“If you look at my career to date, I have batted at positions 7, 8, and 9 in 26 games. I have batted in at number nine, but no hitter has. I can’t promise that I won’t take this action. “I am still ready now as I was before,” he continued.
In the interim, he also discussed his remarks in which he said that Pakistan had suffered as a result of the separation between him and Babar.
