Pakistan white-ball captain Mohammad Rizwan has admitted that the batting duo of Fakhar Zaman and Imam-ul-Haq were “game-changers” for the team.
His comments come after both batsmen were left out of the squad for the limited overs series against Australia and Zimbabwe.
It remains to be seen if they will get picked again in the near future, but Rizwan certainly knows how useful they are.
“Fakhar Zaman, Imam-ul-Haq were game-changers for us,” he was quoted as saying by journalist Arfa Feroz Zake on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Pakistan beat Australia 2-1 in the three ODIs they played, which earned them their first ODI series win in the country since 2002.
Things didn’t go as well in the three-match T20I series as Australia whitewashed the men in green 3-0.
Pakistan then took on Zimbabwe in a three-match ODI series and triumphed 2-1.
Both teams are now playing a three-match T20I series, which Pakistan leads 1-0 going into the second game on December 3 in Bulawayo.
