Middle-order batsman Salman Ali Agha has admitted that his favourite player to bat with in ODIs is wicketkeeper-batsman Mohammad Rizwan.

He noted that they have formed strong partnerships and “share the same pattern or style of play.”

Moreover, they both play a positive form of cricket, which makes it easier for them to score runs.

“Most of my partnerships so far have been with Rizwan in ODIs. I enjoy playing with him and I think we both share the same pattern or style of play. We both try to play positive cricket. So far he is my favourite partner so far,” Salman was quoted as saying by Cricket Pakistan.

Rizwan recently featured in the 2024 T20 World Cup, scoring 110 runs in four matches with a top score of 53 not out, an average of 36.66 and a strike rate of 90.90.

Salman was not part of the selection.

Pakistan started the T20 World Cup with back-to-back defeats against the United States and India, but bounced back with victories over Canada and Ireland.

However, these two victories were for naught as Pakistan were eliminated in the group stage of the tournament.
