Recollecting his initial days in the international circuit, Mohammad Rizwan named Australia`s Josh Hazlewood, whom he used to find difficult facing. For Fakhar Zaman, the threat a bowler poses to him depends on the nature of the surface

Pakistan captain Mohammad Rizwan expressed high admiration for Team India lead pacer Jasprit Bumrah, stating that the 31-year-old is the toughest bowler he has faced. However, for teammate Fakhar Zaman, it is not Bumrah, but England’s star pacer Jofra Archer, particularly when he bowls with the new ball.
Recalling his early days in international cricket, Rizwan named Australia’s Josh Hazlewood as the bowler he initially found most challenging. However, over the years, Hazlewood has been replaced in Rizwan’s view by Jasprit Bumrah, who is widely regarded as the best fast bowler among the current generation.
