While speaking to the media in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Malik expressed his happiness over Rizwan's new role, stating, “I am pleased that Mohammad Rizwan has become the captain of the cricket team; he is a smart cricketer.” 

Malik highlighted Rizwan's successful captaincy in various formats and expressed confidence that he would replicate this success with the national team. He added, “I pray for his success; failure teaches you more, while success can lead to complacency.”
