Pakistani-born Zimbabwean cricketer Sikandar Raza is well-known for his adaptable all-around skills. The 38-year-old cricketer’s versatility with the bat and the ball has made him a crucial member of Zimbabwe’s team over all game formats. Raza frequently helped his team win games with his aggressive batting technique and off-spin bowling. The star all-rounder’s journey from Pakistan to emerging as a pillar of Zimbabwean cricket is evidence of his passion and zeal for the game, along with his skill on the cricket field.

Meanwhile, the Zimbabwe captain has recently conducted a Q&A session for his fans all over the world on social media. Sikandar addressed a lot of questions during the chat session with his fans, and he replied to most of them.

The 38-year-old cricketer revealed that Zimbabwe cricket had shown too much faith in him, and it is his time to repay them by taking the game at the epitome of the level for their national side.
