Twitterati React To Sarfaraz Replacing Muhammad Rizwan In NZ Test

It seems Pakistan is making the most of its first of the two Tests against New Zealand, but Sarfaraz Ahmed replacing Muhammad Rizwan in the series hasn't gone down well with some netizens.

Skipper Babar Azam's century and partnership with Ahmed proved healthy for the hosts. But was it, after all, a good strategy to give the wicketkeeper-batsman some rest?

Let's look at the mixed reactions of the Twitterati on the star batsman's return to the team.

A social media user suggested keeping both Ahmed and Rizwan for a consistency in the performance.

Regardless of the arrangement, what the cricket fans want is a consistent display of performance throughout the series.
