Mohammad Rizwan Clarifies Fakhar Zaman's Absence from Pakistan Squad for South Africa Series

Pakistan white-ball captain Mohammad Rizwan has addressed Fakhar Zaman's absence from the national squad for the upcoming series against South Africa, stating that the left-handed opener is unwell. Fakhar's exclusion from the team has raised speculation, especially after his tweet in support of Babar Azam following the latter’s omission from the Test team.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) did not select Fakhar for the South Africa series, and he has been out of the team since his supportive tweet for Babar. His omission from the squads for the Australia and Zimbabwe tours further fueled rumors. However, Rizwan clarified the situation ahead of the first T20I against South Africa at Kingsmead, Durban, in which Heinrich Klaasen will lead the Proteas while Rizwan will captain Pakistan.

Rizwan addressed the media, saying, “I think the whole of Pakistan knows Fakhar Zaman, and there’s nothing personal about him that makes anyone feel like he’s being treated unfairly. From the conversations we’ve had among ourselves, everyone is hopeful about him because he is something different for Pakistan, he’s a character and a game-changer.”


The captain further explained that Fakhar is not sidelined due to fitness concerns but because of illness, “I don’t think anyone knows that he’s unwell, basically. It’s not only a fitness issue, meaning it’s not like he failed a fitness test. From what I personally know, he’s unwell with something like a viral fever. Because of this illness, he’s been advised to participate in the ongoing T20 tournament in Pakistan.”


Despite Fakhar's absence, Rizwan emphasized his importance to the team, saying, “There’s no question about Fakhar’s impact, he is an influential player who can change the game singlehandedly on any conditions. While some decisions are beyond my control, we have discussed his potential return and hope the matter will soon be resolved.”

With Rizwan’s clarification, it remains to be seen when Fakhar Zaman will return to the national setup as Pakistan prepares for their T20I series against South Africa.
