Former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali has advocated for Mohammad Rizwan to be appointed as the new captain of Pakistan's Test team, arguing that his leadership could help the team secure victory against England in the upcoming Test series. Under current captain Shan Masood, Pakistan has struggled significantly, suffering five consecutive losses including a recent 0-2 defeat to Bangladesh. Ali believes that Rizwan's captaincy would not only improve the team's performance but also help Babar Azam regain his form. Pakistan currently sits 8th in the World Test Championship standings, making the England series critical for their prospects. Additionally, Ali expressed concern over the team's overall performance and suggested that if they continue to struggle, they should consider playing against lower-ranked teams like Nepal and Afghanistan. The upcoming series against England is seen as a pivotal opportunity for Pakistan to turn their fortunes around.
