“Haris Rauf fully fit and in rhythm”- Rizwan Ahead of Champions Trophy Opener

Haris Rauf sustained an injury during the recent tri-series, casting doubt over his participation in the Champions Trophy as he worked to regain match fitness in time. However, ahead of Pakistan’s opening match in the tournament, captain Mohammad Rizwan confirmed in a press conference that Rauf is fully fit and ready for selection.

“Haris Rauf is bowling in rhythm and is completely fit now. He himself is feeling much better and we are all optimistic about his contributions in the Champions Trophy.”

“He has been working hard on his fitness and we can see the positive results. We are hopeful that Haris will play a crucial role in the tournament. He has proven himself as a valuable asset to the team, and we are excited to see him back at full fitness,” Rizwan said.

Discussing his nation hosting an ICC event after a significant gap, Mohammad Rizwan stated:

“A global event has come to Pakistan after 29 years so I think the whole nation should enjoy this historic occasion. Our country has suffered enough and for a long time, but we have also won during this phase like the 2017 Champions Trophy and the 2009 Twenty20 World Cup.”
