Rauf supports Pakistan's youth, saying that "they become players if you give them 10 to 15 matches."

Haris Rauf has thrown his support behind the young Pakistani top order, arguing that they should be given more time and not be evaluated based on only one or two games.

 In an attempt to establish the ideal lineup, Pakistan once again shuffled the deck, leaving out Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan for the five-match T20I series against New Zealand.

Irfan Khan entered as number four, followed by Hasan Nawaz and Muhammad Haris at the top of the list. But they haven't been able to get going in the first two Twenty20 Internationals, and Pakistan has lost both of them.
