‘I have learned a lot from Rizwan’

Regarding competition from Rizwan in the Pakistan team as a wicketkeeper, 22-year-old Haris said, ‘Without any doubt, Rizwan is the first choice wicketkeeper of the Pakistan team. There is always a tough competition for a place in the team as a wicketkeeper, so I am also trying to become a better fielder so that I can make a place in the team as a pure batsman. I have learned a lot from Rizwan, when I don’t perform well, he is usually the first person to support me. When we played with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, he also gave me many opportunities to play. Haris has scored 126 runs in 9 T20Is at an average of 14 and a strike rate of 127. He has only 27 runs in four innings of 5 ODIs.
