The Men In Green's regular white-ball captain Babar Azam stepped down from his after they failed to make it to the knockout stage of the 50-over World Cup, before exiting the T20 World Cup in the group stage. Babar had stepped down from the ODI captaincy last month.
Despite that, Rizwan will have the likes of Babar, Shaheen Afridi and Naseem Shah in the squad as they look to start afresh Down Under.
"I am deeply honoured to be appointed as Pakistan’s white-ball captain," he said.
"Representing Pakistan on the global stage is the greatest privilege and to now be entrusted with leading such a talented and exciting group of players is a tremendous honour. Joining the ranks of some of Pakistan’s legendary limited-overs captains truly is the icing on the cake," Rizwan said at the press-conference of his unveiling as the white-ball skipper.
As for Australia, Pat Cummins will be leading in the ODI series whereas they haven't announced a captain for the T20Is, which will conclude in the same week as the Border-Gavaskar Trophy gets underway.
