In his video chat with reporters on July 23, Rizwan hoped to learn from Sarfaraz as the latter has vast experience both as a captain and a wicketkeeper-batsman. The 28-year-old further claimed that there was only positive rivalry between the two.

“I am a fan of Sarfaraz and have a lot of love in my heart for him. There is no added pressure on me due to his presence. He’s my senior and I am learning a lot from him,” said Rizwan.

“Healthy competition between players eventually benefits the team. Doesn’t matter whoever plays, the goal is to perform and win games for Pakistan. I am confident in my abilities and will perform whenever given an opportunity. Whoever the team management deems fit, will be in the playing XI,” he added.

It seems that Rizwan is rather motivated and on track to be a part of the final team for the upcoming Test series. The batsman was unbeaten with 100 runs off of 159 balls in the intra-squad match at Derby. He was playing for PCB White, which was led by Babar Azam.

“My confidence has improved after performing in the intra-squad practice matches, which will help me in the upcoming Test series. It is always pleasing to score a century. I am ready to bat at any position in the batting order the team requires.  All the batsmen are in good form and are confident ahead of the series,” he said.

While he initially tested positive for COVID-19, he has since recovered and there are no signs of any negative impact on his overall health.

“I wasn’t concerned when I tested positive for Covid-19 as I didn’t have any symptoms,” Rizwan said.
