Former Pakistan captain and PCB chairman Ramiz Raja staunchly defended Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam's opening partnership despite Pakistan's disappointing ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024, which saw them eliminated early after losses to USA and India. Speaking on "Ramiz Speaks," Raja supported the duo, citing their pivotal roles in previous finals. Despite criticism post-tournament, with Babar scoring 122 runs and Rizwan 110, Raja emphasized continuity. Pakistan face tough fixtures ahead, including a home series against Bangladesh and England, a white-ball tour of Australia, and a series in South Africa.
