Pakistan's wicketkeeper-batter, Mohammad Rizwan, is currently facing criticism due to a slump in form in T20 cricket. Once considered one of the team's most reliable players, Rizwan has been dropped from the squad following a string of poor performances.
His performance in the Pakistan Super League has also been lacklustre, with his team, the Rawalpindis, failing to register a single victory in seven matches.
Rizwan's Honest Assessment of His Poor Form
Rizwan spoke candidly about his form, admitting that, based on his current performance, he does not deserve a spot in the Pakistan national team. He explained that the squad selection took place while he was playing in the Big Bash League, and he himself acknowledged that his performance at the time was not worthy of inclusion in the team.
Rizwan Refuses to Give Up Hope
However, Mohammad Rizwan also made it clear that he is not one to give up. He stated that he has overcome difficult phases in the past and is determined to make a comeback this time as well. Rizwan revealed that he had even discussed this matter with his teammate Haris and openly acknowledged his weaknesses.
Ready to Step Aside for the Team's Benefit
Rizwan further added that if his performance is not up to the mark, he has personally told the captains to give another player an opportunity instead. Citing past instances, he noted that he has done this before and that he is never afraid to speak the truth.
Cricket: His Ultimate Passion
In conclusion, Rizwan affirmed that cricket is his greatest passion and that it is the only thing he knows. He admitted that while his current performance is not good, there has been absolutely no lack of hard work on his part. He remains confident that he will soon regain his form and once again deliver strong performances.
