Misbah-ul-Haq, the former Pakistan captain and coach, explained his choice to promote Mohammad Rizwan to the top of the batting order and select him open the innings alongside Babar Azam.

In an interview, Misbah outlined the reasons for starting Rizwan at the top of the order in International Cricket Council (ICC) Men’s T20 World Cup 2021.
