Srinagar: Encouraged by the historic ODI win against hosts Australia, Pakistan captain Mohammad Rizwan has said that he is targetting whitewash in T20I series vs hosts that starts on November 14.
“No one was hoping that the team would beat Australia in Australia. We played like a unit and if we keep doing that, we will whitewash them in T20Is,” Rizwan told the players in a dressing room speech, released by the Pakistan Cricket Board on Tuesday.
He further urged the players to chase bigger goals like Champions Trophy, World Cups and Olympic medals.
“It is fine we have celebrated the ODI series win because no one expected us to win in Australia. But at the same time all the players must remember they are ambassadors of Pakistan and behave appropriately at all times on tour,” Rizwan stated.
“I think we must all strive to win big titles like the World Cups and Champions Trophy to show everyone what Pakistan cricket is capable of,” he added.
Rizwan termed the ODI series victory over Australia a great source of learning before vowing to create history in whichever country the team tours in future.
The first T20I between Pakistan and Australia is scheduled to take place on November 14 at The Gabba.
The second T20I will be played on November 16 at the Sydney Cricket Ground, followed by the final fixture on November 18 at Bellerive Oval, Hobart.
