For many years, it seemed that Mohammad Rizwan's international career would only take place in a parallel universe, with him struggling to get a game in the national team despite hitting home runs. But for a man playing internationals for the first time in two years in January 2019, Mohammad Rizwan was the talk of the town. Often, he was used as a stick to bully Sarfaraz Ahmed, the current first-choice Pakistan wicketkeeper and captain, but the Peshawar native had qualities of his own that suggested he might unfortunately be too much for Pakistan. Couldn't play bar.

A limited batsman but technically a sound keeper when he first rose through the ranks, Rizwan made his international debut shortly after the 2015 World Cup when the spot behind the stumps was still up for grabs. He got off to a bright start with a batting average of around 60 in his first eight innings against Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe, but against more challenging opposition, his flaws soon became apparent. A long lean patch followed, and once he lost his place to Sarfaraz for the World T20 in 2016, there was no doubt who was Pakistan's No.1 wicketkeeper. After the defeat in the World T20, Sarfaraz was appointed as the captain of the limited overs teams and as a result Rizwan's playing time decreased further, until Sarfraz was ruled out of the last five matches of the tour of South Africa in January 2019. a restriction.

On the domestic circuit, Rizwan is a prolific run-getter, averaging less than 50 in List A cricket and 41 at first-class level. However, he doesn't seem to have the necessary shots to be a valuable asset in T20s, but also being Sarfaraz's strongest suit, both as a batsman and as a captain, makes him one of the best players in the world. It would have been difficult to remove in the format. Description.

After making his debut on Pakistan's domestic circuit a decade ago, Rizwan has been a regular in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, plying his trade with the highly successful SNGPL, leading his team to three titles in the last four. Helped to win. A year for him, the prize of a solitary Test cap in 2016 feels somewhat inadequate.

He played for the Karachi Kings in the Pakistan Super League, serving as Chadwick Walton's backup for a few seasons, but once Sarfraz Ahmed was dropped from the team, Rizwan's career skyrocketed.

A 95 in Brisbane in his first Test since being called up got him off to a good start, but it was Pakistan's tour of England where he cemented his place as Pakistan's first-choice wicketkeeper. A pair of half-centuries in Southampton followed by a near-perfect series behind the stumps proved to Pakistan that they had found a long-term wicketkeeping solution, and Rizwan appointed himself vice-captain of the Test team. , and quickly joined the Test team. White ball team.

T20 and Rizwan didn't seem like a natural fit for each other, but 2021 has seen him make a mockery of those predictions with a record-breaking year. He opened with an unbeaten 104 against South Africa, followed by seven more half-centuries that earned him the record for the most T20I runs in a single year by any player. For good measure, he was also the second-highest run-scorer in the 2021 PSL - behind only his Pakistan opening partner Babar Azam - and led Multan Sultans to the PSL title.

His stability and consistency at the top of the order turned Pakistan's weakness into Pakistan's strength. Rizwan seems to be at the peak of his career now, and is one of Pakistan's most valuable assets in the International Cricket...
