KARACHI: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said on Saturday it had not made a final decision on replacing Muhammad Rizwan as the One-Day International (ODI) captain, following the team’s recent underwhelming performances.

Rizwan, who led the side in Pakistan’s most recent ODI series against the West Indies in August, has come under increasing scrutiny due to the poor team performance under his leadership. Since taking over the ODI captaincy in late 2024, Rizwan had started on a strong note with impressive away series victories against Australia and South Africa. However, Pakistan’s form has slumped in 2025, marked by a series loss to the West Indies and a disappointing campaign in the ICC Champions
Trophy, where the team finished bottom of Group A with two defeats and one no-result.
Under Rizwan, Pakistan have played 21 ODIs, winning just nine, or about 45 percent. The string of poor results has intensified speculation over his future as captain.
