They&#8217;ve tried everyone except Rizwan. They&#8217;ll have to make Rizwan the captain. I don&#8217;t think the inner circle and top management are very happy with Rizwan, but they\u2019ll be forced to choose him. Otherwise, if they go for a younger player, it will turn into the same situation like with Babar Azam. It&#8217;s better to make a senior player the captain and then groom someone under him,&#8221; Nazar told Cricket Pakistan.<br \/>Pakistan Cricket&#8217;s poor run in the white-ball format started with the 2023 ODI World Cup in India where they lost to Afghanistan and subsequently failed to qualify for the semis. <br \/>The T20I team under Babar, then, suffered a shock group stage exit from the T20 World Cup in the Americas where they lost to minnows USA. <br \/>Recently, the Test team under Shan Masood also suffered an embarrassing 2-0 whitewash at home against Bangladesh. <br \/>&#8220;In my opinion, it would be better for Pakistan to make Rizwan the captain for all three formats. The recent poor performances of the Pakistan team have a lot to do with the rapid changes in captaincy. Young players were made captains and then removed, which leads to groupings in the team. This isn\u2019t just Pakistan\u2019s problem,&#8221; Nazar said.<br \/>Pakistan&#8217;s next assignment is the three-Test series against England at home where eyes will be on the performances of the senior players in the team.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\nvar _mfq = window._mfq || [];\n_mfq.push([\"setVariable\", \"toi_titan\", window.location.href]);\n!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    function loadFBEvents(isFBCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isFBCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        if (f.fbq) return;\n        n = f.fbq = function() {\n          n.callMethod ? n.callMethod(...arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n        };\n        if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n        n.push = n;\n        n.loaded = !0;\n        n.version = '2.0';\n        n.queue = [];\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js', n, t, s);\n      fbq('init', '593671331875494');\n      fbq('track', 'PageView');\n    };\n    function loadGtagEvents(isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      var id = document.getElementById('toi-plus-google-campaign');\n      if (id) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        t.id = 'toi-plus-google-campaign';\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtag\/js?id=AW-877820074', n, t, s);\n    };\n    function loadSurvicateJs(allowedSurvicateSections = []){\n      const section =  window.location.pathname.split('\/')[1]\n      const isHomePageAllowed = window.location.pathname === '\/' && allowedSurvicateSections.includes('homepage')\n      if(allowedSurvicateSections.includes(section) || isHomePageAllowed){\n        (function(w) {\n         function setAttributes() {\n                    var prime_user_status = window.isPrime ?
