NZ vs PAK | Babar Azam ruled out of 2nd Test but skipper Mohammad Rizwan confident of good show
India TV NewsStand-in captain Muhammad Rizwan is confident of his team's good chance of winning the second Test in Christchurch despite regular skipper Babar Azam being once again ruled out as he hasn't yet recovered from his injury. "Babar is still not confident 100 percent that he is fit for the test match and I know he will never take a chance unless he is completely sure he has full match fitness," Rizwan said on the eve of the match. "Babar's absence is a big blow as he is a key player but the series is still not over for us and we can still win this test and level the series if we play well and to our strength," Rizwan who got fighting half centuries in both innings in the first test said. "With a home series coming up against South Africa, we didn’t want to take a risk with Babar," a team official said.
