Former Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed recently commented on his comparison with Mohammad Rizwan, terming him the better wicketkeeper-batsman. Sarfaraz appeared on a local news channel\u2019s sports show and talked about various aspects of cricket and his career before being asked to name the better wicketkeeper batsman between himself and Rizwan. In reply, the former captain unhesitatingly named Rizwan. \u201cMohammad Rizwan has become more mature with time. The way he has been playing, everything about him has improved. I think, currently he is the better wicketkeeper batter,\u201d he added. The ICC Champions Trophy 2017 wining captain then claimed that providing a player with consistent chances gives him confidence which ultimately leads to better performances, while denying the claim that he strived less than Rizwan. \u201cWhen I was playing, the performance was almost alike. When you play consistently, your confidence grows,\u201d stated Sarfaraz. \u201cWhen I played, I gave some good performances and now the way Rizwan is playing and getting consistent chances, he is growing in confidence and getting better and better.\u201d \u201cWe have wicketkeepers like Azam Khan, Muhammad Haris and Haseebullah, apart from them Rohail Nazir is also in the pipeline. There are more kids like Saad Baig from Under-19. We have the potential and the more they play cricket, especially four-day domestic, the more they\u2019ll get experience and will perform well for Pakistan,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
