Rizwan becomes the 2nd player in BBL history to be retired out for playing too slowly

The first guy was playing for Thunder and batting with Warner (his captain). Warner didn’t ask or five him to retire, he left himself because he realised he was bringing the team down.

Rizwan on the other hand had to be forced out

 

[Rana]

If I'm Rizwan. I'm leaving Australia asap

He won’t get paid a penny,

Actually his management might lose out a chunk on that $400k deal with Babar

I’m pretty sure BBL got both players in that price package

Sutherland might've damaged Rizwan mentally with this action. He may have ended Rizwan's T20 career here

 

[DeadlyVenom]

This is a big embarrassment for him. Especially as the overseas pro.

Embarrassing for us too.

Sutherland can’t do what Rizwan himself cannot do lol

That too after that 33 off 44 against India.

The PCB made Rizwan captain after that btw

The new Sialkot Franchise are in talks to make Rizwan their captain btw

This is why I pointed out, “intent” and “modern day cricket” feel like swear words in Pakistani culture.

Lol how embarrassing.

Poor guy was working hard out there today.
...batting at a SR of 113 as compared to his tournament SR of 99.

[RedwoodOriginal]

Renegades are ruing this decision probably. Has been a disastrous signing for them so far. They could have signed anyone out of the number of Pakistani players who are currently playing in the BPL.

 

[Ball Blazer]

Before he was retired out for 26 (23), Mohammad Rizwan finally managed to hit a six in the BBL today... It took him eight innings & 152 balls to do so.

It’s against his beliefs to hit sixes in T20

 

[Rana]

@Ball Blazer why was my thread merged here?

You don’t want history to be discussed separately?

 

[DeadlyVenom]

On forums we can take sides.

But in the real world this is an embarrassment not just for Rizwan fans but for us all.

Our players don't get scope to play high competitive leagues. Rizwan arrived with much fanfare but his spell is so dismal it may give BBL a reason to not pick Pakistani players in the future.

 

[Rana]

But in the real world this is an embarrassment not just for Rizwan fans but for us all.

It isn’t for Pakistan now.

It’s an embarrassment for BBL who signed him and didn’t mention that he’s been dropped from Pakistan at the start of the tournament. Instead they kept hyping him and Babar up for reach.

Pakistan cricket fans like me and millions of our mindset have no reason to feel ashamed of this.

Not to forget Shaheen got injured too.

BBL fans and Australia will remember Rizwan for getting forced to retire out and Shaheen for bowling beamers.

Human beings remember negative events more

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Well, the BBL never signed Pakistani players who could actually perform or at least show competitive edge in these conditions.

Saim Ayub
Abbas Afridi
Aamer Jamal
Abrar Ahmed
Sufyan Muqeem
Khwaja Nafay
Ali Raza
Arafat Minhas
Ahmed Daniyal


These boys would have been much better options for this competition and style. They all would develop their game as well and add some value to the teams. Clearly the BBL doesn’t care about competition and is more about outreach through names.

Alot of the blame lies on BBL franchises too. They were looking for name value, not recognizing that the likes of Babar and Rizwan can't even get it done in the PSL.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Hassan Ali got absolutely thrashed. Earlier, I thought the BBL was being generous by giving Pakistani players a chance. Now it feels like they brought them in just to expose them on the big stage. Completely overrated, total frauds.

Hasan Ali has had an okay tournament barring a few games on flat pitches where he was absolutely hammered. Rauf has had a good tournament... he is the leading wicket-taker. Other than that, it's been a mostly forgettable/embarrassing outing for Pakistani players depending on the player.

ODI

Rizwan was made T20i captain after the 2024 T20 World Cup

 

[Rana]

According to Rizwan’s no.1 pr journo,

It’s Mike Hesson and selection committee’s fault for destroying Rizwan mentally which lead to this embarrassing moment.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Thats embarrassing.
Pakistan Cricket hitting new lows everyday.

 

[Varun]

Wow never seen anything like this.

Quite a humiliation.

I wonder why we (Dhoni/Raina) didn't do this to Yuvraj in the 2014 WT20 final. Was it not allowed then?

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

If this does not tell Babar and Rizwan they should reevaluate their game for T20s, I don't know what will.

Ideally they should say goodbye to the format, but I understand for money reasons, no one in their right mind would, as long as they are selected.

Rizwan was playing in the last 5 overs with a strike rate of 113.

 

[Rana]

Thats embarrassing.
Pakistan Cricket hitting new lows everyday.

But but sarr he and Babar make the Pakistan team according to you

 

[Varun]

But you never know, this embarrassment could be the making of him if he takes it to heart.

 

[Rana]

But you never know, this embarrassment could be the making of him if he takes it to heart.

He never changed his way having been booted out of captaincy and the team after 5 T20is

He won’t change in the future

Why? Because he just isn’t a T20 batter. He plays like this because that’s the only way he can play with his limitations. Those limitations will not erase magically.

Do you rate him as a Test batter then?

 

[Rana]

I see no valid reason to kick him out for his no.6/7 position in Test cricket

Test cricket is the purest format. You cannot scam or fraud your way in this.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

But but sarr he and Babar make the Pakistan team according to you

He is better than Haris and for that reason his spot wasn’t in question.
Khawaja Nafay is definitely a better option though.

 

[Rana]

Oh Rehnde ab.

Admit it you were caught out for having a poor understanding of the game.

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

I guess things move so fast there’s no time to send a private message to the batsman to retire.

Because this is embarrassing, until it becomes commonplace in the game.

 

[RidiculousMan]

I wonder why we (Dhoni/Raina) didn't do this to Yuvraj in the 2014 WT20 final. Was it not allowed then?

It was always allowed. They didn't do it cause they probably didn't wanted to hurt Yuvi's ego

 

[Rana]

Those who are under the delusion that this might be the kick up the Rizwan (or even Babar) needs to change their ways are living in LaLa land.

I’ll tell you what this will do going forward.

This guy will not sign up or play for any franchise until he is assured opening spot and quite possibly the captaincy role. He will take complete assurances that he will not be forced to bat in a way that’s against his personal comfort zone.

 

[RidiculousMan]

But you never know, this embarrassment could be the making of him if he takes it to heart.

He was embarrassed before in T20 Cricket when he was benched in PSL for Karachi Kings. Then he evolved and came in to play as an opener in 2020 / 21.

 

[RidiculousMan]

I guess things move so fast there’s no time to send a private message to the batsman to retire.

If a message was not send to Rizwan for this before then it was definitely harsh.

As an international player if a domestic captain is marching down the pitch to get me off the pitch. I'm definitely standing my ground. They can decide not to play me but as a player, no way I'm leaving the pitch if I don't want to.

 

[NishanKonar]

It was always allowed. They didn't do it cause they probably didn't wanted to hurt Yuvi's ego

Also both Yuvi & Dhoni should have been retirrd out. Bzoc Yuvi took all the heat , people forgot that Dhoni was atrocious as well in that match

They should start something like football substitutions. Someone hold up a placard to signal the substitution. Will be more dignified

A captain shouting at his player to come back looks very insulting

[Asif321]

Only in Pakistan players like these in T20 are considered stars

 

[NishanKonar]

On a different note this is why Australia is the toughest place to play cricket. They know how to separate the grain from the chaff. No place for frauds & pretenders. No place for emotions & diplomatic niceties

This is why I always rate players based on how they performed in Australia. For me its the gold standard

 

[NishanKonar]

Captain got *** fot tat. Could not score more than a run

Should have retired Rizwan few overs earlier. They had just 2 overs left & got too desperate. Ended up throwing their wickets

 

[shaz619]

This is a big embarrassment for him. Especially as the overseas pro.

Embarrassing for us too.

It’s embarrassing that we back him & Babar.

Rizwan is not international quality and just about acceptable in Tests & we made this donkey captain during the most important tournament in our history.

Babar is not good enough to play domestic T20’s and he’s going to be taking part in the WT20 again. Steven Smith was having a bit if fun in the same team but at least Australians are not dumb enough to pick him for the national side in the format.

All the Pak players deserve the humiliation in Australia and I can enjoy that at least, knowing there will be no change to come out of this because of how delusional we are.

Yep Riz and Babar should be replaced by the tailenders pretending to be batters in our u19 team currently.

Who is w00ting for Ahmed Hasan or Ali Baloch in place of Babar Azam in Pak T20 team?

This BBL stint will dent Babar and Rizwan for a long time.

Tableegh with Multan is the way forward for Rizzy bhai. Thank you for your services to Pakistan cricket, during your prime you did a decent job with the bat and gloves. But time to leave now from other T20s forever.

 

[The_KING]

How brainless are the Renegades management for signing Rizwan in the first place when even a low-quality international side like Pakistan have dropped him from the T20 side? And if you signed him, don't play him at number 3 or 4. Play him as an opener, which is the position he did well during his purple patch from 2020-2022.

Babar and Rizwan have been exposed as overrated frauds in this tournament. But this isn't something to be happy about. This is an embarrassment for Pakistan cricket, because Rizwan & especially Babar are the face of Pakistan cricket, and this isn't a good look for Pakistan cricket. Don't expect many Pakistani players to get picked for the future editions of BBL.

The true Pakistan fans know these two frauds are no face of Pakistan cricket! It’s you plastic fans who made them heroes

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

You can't be going at an SR of 113 in the last 5 overs. It doesn't matter if there was launch coming in the last 2 overs. It just means too many balls have already been wasted, which eventually made the difference for the team

@gazza619 @Kianig89 @Raja Ishtiaq @salman24 @Muhammad Saad @Major @Mobashir

 

[The_KING]

Why did no one sign Fakhar or Nafay?

Because Rizwan and Babar have a bigger fan following than Fakhar and Nafay, and the signings of Rizwan and Babar seem like signings that were made for commericial reasons rather than cricketing reasons.
