Former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif said current skipper Babar Azam and wicketkeeper-batsman Mohammad Rizwan were among the top three cricketers in 2021.

Azam and Rizwan scored runs consistently for Pakistan across all three formats last year.

They also helped Pakistan achieve some incredible feats, including beating India for the first time in a World Cup match during the T20 World Cup.

In addition to Azam and Rizwan, Latif also picked England Test captain Joe Root, who was on fire in the longest format of the game.

Root ended 2021 with the third-most Test runs in a calendar year as he scored 1,708 runs in 15 matches, which included six centuries and four fifties, at an average of 61.

“1- Root 2- Babar 3- Rizwan,” Latif said on Twitter.
