\nSpeaking after Pakistan\u2019s win over West Indies in the third T20I on Thursday \u2013 the last T20I of the year, Rizwan said that Misbah-ul-Haq, Waqar Younis, Shahid Aslam, and captain Babar Azam empowered him by allowing him to bat at his ideal position.
\n\u201cI give credit to the previous management. They allowed me to play at a position that suits me, and when I got the opportunity, I felt better as it helped me score so many runs throughout the year,\u201d he said after becoming the first man to score 2,000 T20 runs in a calendar year.
