"Only my captain can tell you why I haven't played more games" : Mohammad Rizwan

[Abdullah719]

Mohammad Rizwan speaking to the press:

"Yes, Have been given good chances (I suppose), I have played twice but only kept wickets but not had a chance to bat - what else can I say except that I am working hard - the situation with chances given to me is in front of everyone"

"Its very saddening to see no crowds - we have got to the stage of semi-finals and finals and there is no crowd - its like we are playing a side match"

"Only my captain can tell you why I didnt play in more games - I am doing all my efforts; They are saying I am a top order batsman but when there can be a chance for me to play, I am not given that"

"Of course one is disappointed if situation is like this in your 2nd or 3rd year in PSL; Everyone knows I am the keeper for the Pakistan ODI, T20I and Test sides but I am not getting a chance in a PSL franchise; I agree that the captain has to look at the combination so only he can explain why I am not getting chances"

"You have asked a good question about other players are getting a chance [to prove themselves in PSL for national selection] and I am not getting that chance; The thing is that if a player who plays for the Pakistan team doesnt perform well in PSL, will you ignore his performances for the national side when selection comes up? I am sure the selectors will look at this situation"

"Please believe me I have a lot of respect for my captain and not in the [sarcastic] way you think; However, he said that I am a top order batsman but I do play uptil 7 or 8th position so I dont understand that"

"I am happy that Chadwick Walton is playing as he suits or situation"

"I want to make myself so able [to be selected] that ALLAH put that thought in the minds of the Coach/Captain and that being the case, I have no reason to have any complaints"

 

[gazza619]

He is right. When parchis like Azam Khan are getting so many chances then why not Rizwan.

I would be very annoyed if I was him.

Having said that Rizwan has no future in T20s.

 

[Ryw]

I think that was the last game of Rizwan for Karachi Kings, these comments will not be apprieciated

 

[Mamoon]

He has been treated very poorly. Hopefully he can join his hometown franchise, allowing Kamran to play as a pure batsman.

Javed Afridi needs to help out the best wicket-keeper batsman to come out of KP. He deserves to play for Zalmi.

 

[Barragan]

Because you're a useless T20 batsman!

Not hard to figure out.

 

[Gayle_Force]

At international level the only thing Rizwan had on Sarfaraz is fitness.

With Sarfaraz now in much better shape, I don’t think Rizwan fits in the team.

As far as KK goes, it is harsh but the team combination looks a lot better without Rizwan.

I doubt Sarfaraz can score a 95 in test in Aus or 2 centuries in an ODI series for that matter vs Aus rather Sarfaraz has two centuries in ODIs in his entire career including one vs Ireland.

Rizwan is 5 years younger too so you have to look at the future as well.

 

[Rana]

The guy has no business in T20

 

[Titan24]

Rizwan has every right to be frustrated. KK should release him rather than having national wicket keeper warming the bench.

 

[Finisher]

 

[Hawkeye]

Rizwan

Sarfraz

Both pathetic T20 cricketers. What are they doing in PSL? Kick them out and don't give them any contracts.

The audacity of his and the sense of entitlement..wow...

 

[Shoaibbtt]

He is right. When parchis like Azam Khan are getting so many chances then why not Rizwan.

I would be very annoyed if I was him.

Having said that Rizwan has no future in T20s.

Rizwan has a bright future as an odi and test player but don’t think t20 is his thing. However, I reckon he’ll have to move over for rohail.

 

[Shoaibbtt]

The guy has no business in T20

Fully true. Only person I feel sad for is Fawad Alam.

 

[FreePalestine]

I do feel for him. He should not be treated in this way. I didn’t fully understand his comments - does he agree that he is a top order batsman? I think he does. I agree with this. He should have been playing in the top 4-5 for one of the PSL franchises. In those positions, in Pakistan, he is not a bad T20 player. Probably would have scored more consistently than Walton and dropped fewer chances, leaked fewer byes.

Actually, the dismissiveness with which a lot of emerging talent has been ignored in this PSL really irritates me. A lot of deserving players not getting the confidence of their captains, or regular games.

 

[SensiblePakFan]

He has been treated very poorly. Hopefully he can join his hometown franchise, allowing Kamran to play as a pure batsman.

Javed Afridi needs to help out the best wicket-keeper batsman to come out of KP. He deserves to play for Zalmi.

He would never make that first team and you know it.

 

[Rana]

He would never make that first team and you know it.

Who are you arguing with pal? This guy believes Imam ul Haq should be No.3 for Lahore Qalandars

And he consistently reminds us of how we deserve humiliation as Pakistan fans. Now he wants Javed Afridi to save Rizwan as if that’s a tribal duty.

 

[Khan12]

Fully true. Only person I feel sad for is Fawad Alam.

Fawad can barely clear the inner circle. A truly awful batsmen.

 

[Khan12]

They are playing a guy who who averages around 5 something in international cricket. He can easily replace that hack Walton.

 

[Hasan123]

He is clearly not happy with how he has been treated. I will admit he isn't not a great T20 player but I'm sure he wouldn't do a bad job at 4 playing as anchor .

 

[MenInG]

Think Rizwan wont be in KK next year!

 

[jupiter2007]

Rizwan has a bright future as an odi and test player but don’t think t20 is his thing. However, I reckon he’ll have to move over for rohail.

Fully true. Only person I feel sad for is Fawad Alam.

Fawad can barely clear the inner circle. A truly awful batsmen.

Fawad is not suited for T-20 format. Him and Rizwan are best for test and ODI. I would consider Zeeshan Ashraf for T-20 over Rizwan and Sarfaraz.

 

[Mamoon]

He would never make that first team and you know it.

He can easily play at number 4/5 and will prevent Zalmi from suffering from Kamran’s shoddy keeping.

Zalmi have a weak middle-order and Wahab ends up playing about two numbers higher than he should.

Zalmi needs more local representation. It is already unfair to see Shaheen play for Qalandars.

 

[Bigboii]

KK will kill his career in LOI, he needs to get out as quickly as possible

 

[ritzy_123]

Think Rizwan wont be in KK next year!

He's not suitable for T20's he should understand that he himself said he needs time to settle than he can go for big shots nowadays the game is so fast that you have to play big shots at will

 

[Rayyman]

Excellent player of spin, should bat at #4/5 in LO matches.

 

[Mamoon]

Walton is no Buttler himself. Rizwan definitely deserved more game time.

 

[Shoaibbtt]

Fawad is not suited for T-20 format. Him and Rizwan are best for test and ODI. I would consider Zeeshan Ashraf for T-20 over Rizwan and Sarfaraz.

Never meant for t20 but fawad deserves his chance in tests. Rizwan is not as aggressive as well, he makes a good odi and test player but not t20. In terms of the wicket keeper position you have 2 options either Zeeshan or rohail.

The Quetta side in particular mr moin Khan should hang his head in shame and I say that because of the liking for his talentless son and Purchi shehzad. This liking-disliking is killing PCB and today Khurrum showed why he should get a nod. Khurrum, saud shakeel, Fawad Alam, saad ali, tabish khan and others have suffered because of this Purchi system.

 

[Shoaibbtt]

Fawad can barely clear the inner circle. A truly awful batsmen.

Fawad is probably better than asad in terms of t20 but sorry I should’ve been clear. I don’t feel sorry for Rizwan for not being selected in t20 because frankly the format doesn’t suit him. But rizwan is the preferred option in odi and test.

What I meant was and I should’ve been clear is Fawad is justified a spot in tests and that to in the playing XI. In this context I feel more sad for fawad cause he hasn’t had a chance to play as compared to Rizwan who’s gotten a chance in all 3 formats.

However, I think I remember Fawad winning his team Karachi blues the final with a match winning 50 and also a 149 in a 50-over domestic final.

 

[angrypathan]

Excellent player of spin, should bat at #4/5 in LO matches.

Rizwan couldn't read a googly if his life depended on it

 

[hafizexpress]

Walton is no Buttler himself. Rizwan definitely deserved more game time.

Although that's true, Walton has come in quite handy for KK. Ifti however could have def been replaced by Rizwan on a few occasions.

 

[moghul]

In current form, Rizwan is justified in feeling hard done by Imad. He is not a power hitter but is a good player at top of the order and the best wicket keeper in Pakistan. . He was not replaced by some Gilchrist or Sangakara, was benched for a long discarded West Indians.

 

[Rayyman]

Rizwan couldn't read a googly if his life depended on it

He used to struggle against leggies but improved. I still remember he hit Zampa inside out for six in Aus

Whenever they’ve played, he’s destroyed Nathan Lyon like no batsman ever has

Although that's true, Walton has come in quite handy for KK. Ifti however could have def been replaced by Rizwan on a few occasions.

Rizwan was throwing shade at Ifti in the press-conference.

 

[Finisher]

Walton is no Buttler himself. Rizwan definitely deserved more game time.

Rizwan has played 19 matches for Karachi and 2 seasons with Lahore Qalanders he was given a good run of games at number 4.
It's a easy choice to make when you have Rizwan who scores his runs at 106 vs Waltons who score at 150+.

Rizwan struggles to hit against Pace.
He should keep quiet and focus on the longer formats or improve his hitting

 

[Thunderstorm]

It seems that KK has been instructed by PCB not to play Muhammad Rizwan so that selection committee select someone else for T20 World Cup.

 

[moghul]

It seems that KK has been instructed by PCB not to play Muhammad Rizwan so that selection committee select someone else for T20 World Cup.

Yeah, with so many Gillchrists and Dhonis to pick from PCB doesn;t anymore choices.

 

[Caved12]

Just saw the interview and felt very bad for the way he has been treated by KK. Playing at a low strike rate is a thing of past and as of late, he has played for Pakistan in all three formats, so his confidence must be high. I am sure he can play at a strike rate of around 125. KK already made it to playoffs, so not sure why he was not given a proper chance today. Imad told Sharjeel that he does not care even he gets 6 ducks cause he was sure that he will perform eventually. Should have a similar talk to Rizwan as well for his strike rate. I did not know who Chadwick Walton was before the start of PSL. Rizwan should use this and go on a mission to prove his doubters wrong in the next edition of PSL.

 

[hitthestump]

It seems that KK has been instructed by PCB not to play Muhammad Rizwan so that selection committee select someone else for T20 World Cup.

Surprised it took this many posts before someone mentioned this. It's not the PCB though.

 

[Maher96]

I think another re draft with max three retentions should be allowed.

The mix of players is good and it’s going to get more and more competitive Rizwan is unluckily just one of those players that could should would have played more for Pakistan but never will.

 

[Desprado123]

Rizwan is the most useless cricketer ever born. I do know how he is even asking this question.

 

[Desprado123]

Karachi got final is because they did not play with Rizwan. If they played with him than they would not have reached the finals.

 

[TeamPak95]

T20s ain't his format, should focus on ODIs and tests. Perhaps Pakistan should integrate Zeeshan/Rohail to the t20 team and give the respective player a long run?

 

[Usman Chadda]

Deserves it. Quite shameful that this rubbish player is our national team wicket-keeper

Well done to Karachi Kings. The sense of entitlement is hilarious

 

[bizenjo]

I feel bad for Rizwan, a great player with limited opportunities. Ever since he left Lahore Qalandars, he hasn't been able to showcase his talent. He was one of our main players in 2016 and 2017, and was given away in the worst trade in PSL history (Rizwan for Sohail Khan).

The PSL was in Pakistan, and therefore he should have been given a chance to play; perhaps he would have given us a performance to remember. He DID showcase what he had to offer in the National T20 Cup, where he got Player of the Season, even beating Babar Azam. It's a shame because we should be evaluating and using the talent we have in Pakistan, and this is one of the examples where it hasn't been the case.

He should come back to Lahore to play as a WK with Dunk still in the XI or he should play backup to Dunk. He was decent for Lahore and was stable in the middle order, and I still believe that there is room for him within the starting XI.

And to those who believe that Sarfaraz is better: Keep dreaming.

 

[The Viper]

Rizwan is just a bit limited and Karachi have Babar to play the role of an anchor.

Walton has averaged 25 with a strike rate of 157, which is not bad.

Rizwan doesn't have the power to play as a lower order batsman.

He is right though - if he plays, he must play in the top order.

 

[Thunderstorm]

Yeah, with so many Gillchrists and Dhonis to pick from PCB doesn;t anymore choices.

Apparently, Misbah seems to be interested in Sarfaraz for World T20.

 

[Khan12]

Deserves it. Quite shameful that this rubbish player is our national team wicket-keeper

This rubbish was our second highest scorer in Australia. This rubbish has 2 odi centuries against Australia which some of our keepers never managed to get an odi century in their career let alone against Australia. Comeback again. Wonder who you want as a keeper.

Only Misbha supporters can defend Rizwan.

Rizwan would not even make tops 30's in England collage club leave alone playing for national team.

Rizwan was only selected to sideline Sarfarz ,however, it backfired so badly than KK and pcb agreed to not play with Rizwan.

 

[khan_aa]

Tests - Rizwan
ODI- Sarfraz if he improves his form other wise Rizwan
T20s - Sarfraz.

Rizwan is a liability in T20s.

Both were slow centuries on flat tracks that resulted in LOSSES.

Yes hes a better batsman in tests and ODIs, but he should not be anywhere close to the team in T20s. He is not suited for 20 over cricket.

 

[Titan24]

He came in at 35/2 and and scored 115 (126) with SR of 91 and Pak reached a total of 284. Rizwan did the job decently considering what was required, problem was no one in the lower middle order produced a SR of over 100 except Imad who scored 19 off 10.

In 4th ODIs vs Aus he came in at 74/2 and scored 104 (102) with a SR of 101.96 while chasing 277. Ideally should have finished it but he and Abid both got out near to each other. Other than not finishing his innings had no issues and his SR was pretty good for no 4 considering the required total.

Again the problem wasnt Rizwan’s innings but poor selections and strategies on display. There was no conventional white ball finisher in the Pak squad and middle order batsman like Saad Ali was being played at no 6. Umar Akmal was making a come and played some poor shots. Imad wasim also couldnt do his job as an all rounder who bats at no 7 to finish some matches.

Difference in that series was Maxwell and Pak’s poor tactics along with poor display from Saad Ali, Umer Akmal. Umar’s last inning of 43(44) was his best but again the problem was none of the set batsmen was able to continue till the end throughout the series.

 

[Rellu_Katta]

add his performance in Aus tests... he was taking the bowling head on .. not cowerding around like sarfraz

easily our best choice as keeper for ODI and tests ... T20 i wont play him but wont play sarfraz either...

of the 2, would still play him

 

[Asifnow]

Exactly! Rizwan is the best international option Pak have. I think if he is given enough time, he will come good in T20s too.

The political and probably ethnic bias against him is really sad.

 

[Pakhs]

I can also tell why he has not played because walton is a better hitter which is the most important thing in T20s

 

[Pakhs]

Good or bad he doesn't have the power game so should be kept away from T20s Pakistan already lack power hitters.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Rizwan did pretty well last time he was in Australia. With that being said I would have him in the T20 World Cup at No.3/4 due to his lack of power hitting, but his strike rotation is good and he has solid fitness and is a pretty good WK. If not him then just take a punt on Rohail Nazir, groom him now in the LOI formats.

 

[Desprado123]

He does not even have a strike rotation. This is guy extremely useless even for ODIs. In this ear you have bar, harris, and Imam than you need a club level talent for national level.

Whenever you play with good side or a same talented side than their is 90% chance you will lose the game with Rizwan.

 

[Desprado123]

I am proud of KK. You simply put rizwan where he belongs.

He did not accelerate when the team needed.

Go watch the match.

If you are playing 100 balls, you need to score atleast 120-130.

I'd think that someone averaging nearly 40 at a strikerate of 140+ @4 is better than someone averaging in the teens with a strikerate of under 100.

Rizwan is one of those players that should have never played cricket

 

[Rellu_Katta]

I'd think that someone averaging nearly 40 at a strikerate of 140+ @4 is better than someone averaging in the teens with a strikerate of under 100.

numbers from the PSL games? Umar Akmal, Asif Ali, Ahmad Shahzad, Kamran Akmal... these 4 are kings in psl and are the biggest duds in international ... big big big 0

already said tht Rizwan, at best, is at par with sarfraz, but even taking ur point, he is slightly better than rizwan... fine.. so for test n ODI... sarfraz doesnt even polish the shoe that polishes Rizwanz boots

 

[Rellu_Katta]

Good or bad he doesn't have the power game so should be kept away from T20s Pakistan already lack power hitters.

I cant play someone who doesnt have a power game in T20s I have seen Sarfraz and Akmal scoring some power hitting innings (Sarfraz himself is very bad at it but still better than Rizwan). Rizwan didn't even make a domestic side for the same reason because franchise teams want to win and Pakistan should not be any different.

lol ... u need to up ur skills and arguments ... bcz Sarfraz on international T20 ... Avg 28, SR 126.... avg will be bosted by many NO bcz comes at times at no8 goes notout with scoring 2 of 4 and thts that lol

domestic T20 record is also the same.


Rizwan isnt too great as well... but then he is young and is miles better a keeper .. so with 2 crap T20 batsmen, i will take the better wk of the 2 for T20

 

[Titan24]

Thanks for the essay.

Go watch the match.

If you are playing 100 balls, you need to score atleast 120-130.

Atleast 120, 130 off 100 balls? What kind of criteria is that? I would love to read an essay from you on this as probably more than 80-90% of the knocks even of the greatest batsmen to play ODI cricket wont fulfill this criteria.

I already mentioned in my "essay" that Pak lost because set batsmen couldn't continue and accelerate which to be honest in not uncommon in many teams but more than that our lower order couldn't contribute enough.

 

[Pakhs]

Rizwan didnt get a chance to play .. reasons look like he isnt inline with imad ...

Its nothing to to with Imad he was not selecting the team. Its a franchise and they wanted tot win and no accommodate who has not been able to hit out repeatedly. Various Karachi coaching staff said he needs to work on his power hitting.. so really just not a T20 player.

 

[Hawkeye]

You really think that lower order batters in T20s will average higher?

 

[Rellu_Katta]

Why always conspiracy theories?

agree ... maybe didnt get in the right team to begin with

and well no other pakistani keeper batsmen was setting the stage on fire...

and yes "keeper batsmen" so Dropkmal doesnt apply

Zalmi or Gladiators shld be the teams for Rizwan.. but Gladiators dont have enough brains to get rid os sarfraz... also Moin might be thinking if the team oweners can live with Azam Khan playing they can def live with Moin himself playing lol

still ... if Imad can make sure that Umar Khan and Usama Mir dont get proper chances to keep his butt from burning (although the idiot shld know he is def safe and it would be shadab in trouble if these 2 guys performed) he can keep Rizwan out as well (if he had an issue with him)

so u want us to play against 14 batsmen from other team bcz the dropmal is going to give 3 chances (min) each game to the opposition anyways .. NO THANK U

He may have complained about how he was treated in PSL but should be happy now with Central Contract promotion.

Misbah speaking about Rizwan

“Rizwan has been promoted to Category B after being a regular member of the side, while Sarfaraz has been placed in Category B as he very much features in our future plans. We have some tough cricket lined up over the next 12 months where we will potentially require Sarfaraz’s knowledge and experience.

An okay decision to give him b category

Happy birthday to Mohammad Rizwan - now 28 years old

Not given enough chances in PSL - strange Waseem praising him now
