[Watch] Mohammad Rizwan turns left-handed batter in training as Pakistan prepare for 2024 T20 World Cup
Pakistan wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan was recently seen batting left-handed in a training session. The Men in Green are currently preparing for the upcoming 2024 T20 World Cup, scheduled to be played in the USA and the West Indies, starting June 1.
Ahead of the big-ticket competition, Pakistan cricketers are being seen undergoing rigorous training as they look to produce better results in the Caribbean. In a recent video that has emerged on social media, Rizwan was seen batting left-handed. He looked quite comfortable while playing shots all across the ground.
Watch the clip here:
Rizwan had decent returns in the three T20Is he recently played against New Zealand. While he didn't get a chance to bat in the first game, he chipped in with 45* and 22* in the second and third matches, respectively.
Meanwhile, the Men in Green are leaving no stone unturned in their preparation for the T20 World Cup. They will travel to Ireland for a three-match T20I series, starting May 10, after which they will face off against defending champions England in four T20Is.
The players were recently seen undergoing a 10-day fitness camp in Kakul, Abbottabad, to prepare for the mega event.
