A fan-fueled rivalry on social media –

The story then began Pakistan cricket board (PCB) last week announced a 16-member squad for a two-match test series against Sri Lanka. According to the reports, veteran wicket-keeper Sarfaraz Ahmed retained his position in the side following his match-saving performance in the final Test series against New Zealand in Karachi. On the other hand, Mohammad Rizwan was designated as the team’s vice-captain. When the selection was announced, there was an immediate debate on social media. People started making calculations regarding the inclusion of a wicket-keeper in Pakistan’s final XI against Sri Lanka.

Sarfaraz vs Rizwan: Who Would You Vote For?

Some fans believe that Sarfaraz should be kept in the playing XI after his appearance in the last series. On the contrary, many other fans think Rizwan’s wicket-keeping skills are more important to the team in the longer format. Let’s take a look at the tweets:

This is the score of Sarfaraz Ahmed’s last four innings. His place will be permanent in playing 11. Question is about number 3 position. Will Rizwan be asked to settle there. It’s not a bad option either, as Riz and Saifi run well#SLvPAK#Amir#PakistanCricket pic.twitter.com/V2OizrQYNF

It’s not a case of just 2 exhibition games

Whole new WTC cycle is about to begin

And Rizwan should be your main goalkeeping batter.

Yess Sarfaraz performed in the last series, but it’s probably a fresh start again.. https://t.co/KGrCabsvzL

Rizwan and sarfaraz could both be in XI. You must drop salman agha or shan masood.

I have an unpopular opinion on this. Rizwan should have a rest for this series. Saifee might have to play with Haris as a backup keeper. https://t.co/lJJHiAirTy

Let me tell you that Sarfaraz scored 447 points with an average of 55.87 in the last eight innings. On the other hand, Rizwan scored 202 points in as many innings with an average of 25.25. In the final test against New Zealand, Sarfaraz made a century on the final day to save the match for Pakistan. Rizwan did not perform well and was dropped from the playing second Test against New Zealand earlier in the year. After Rizwan’s poor performance, some people think Sarfaraz is better.

The point worth mentioning is that Pakistan will face Sri Lanka in a two match test series after a gap of almost three months. It will also be part of the third cycle of the ICC Test Championship. So whether it’s Sarfaraz or Rizwan, we wish the whole Pakistan squad the best of luck.
