Reports suggest that Rizwan's refusal to endorse betting companies played a significant role in his removal, despite his stellar performances on the field. This decision has sparked controversy, with former captain Rashid Latif criticizing the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and alluding to potential ideological biases within the organization. As Shaheen Shah Afridi gears up to lead Pakistan in the upcoming series against South Africa in Faisalabad, the cricketing world remains abuzz with speculation and debate.
