Speaking to the media via a virtual press conference, Rizwan said that he has no captaincy as of now.
"I don't think about captaincy, because my job is to focus as a player," Rizwan said.
"I have never been desperate for captaincy. I'm the vice-captain, and whenever the captain needs help, I am happy to do it. Babar is one of the leading captains right now, and if you look at our past series, he's made some brilliant decisions. Even if three or four players put our heads together, his clarity of thought rose above it all.
"I don't feel pressure this way, and I enjoy my importance to the team. I relish the fact I am considered one of the main players of the team," he added.
The Pakistan national team is being led by star batsman Babar Azam across all three formats. Leg-spinning all-rounder Shadab Khan is the vice-captain in the limited overs formats.
