Rizwan's Honest Admission: 'I Don’t Deserve a Place in Pakistan Team'

Mohammad Rizwan is wearing his heart on his sleeve, admitting his current form is a major concern for both him and the Pakistan team. After a dismal PSL 2026 season where he’s scored just 107 runs in seven matches, the Rawalpindi captain candidly declared that his performance doesn’t justify a spot in the T20I setup. With a strike rate of 116.30 and a shocking average of 15.28, the pressure is mounting, especially after his team’s loss to Lahore Qalandars by 32 runs.

In a recent chat, Rizwan shared a conversation with Haris Rauf, where he recognised his struggles outright. "I told Haris that I don’t deserve a place in the Pakistan team with this kind of performance," he revealed. This level of self-awareness is rare in sport, but Rizwan isn’t just throwing in the towel. He’s determined to fight back, stating, "I won’t lose hope or walk away from cricket. I only know cricket, and I plan to work hard to earn my spot back."

Despite the setbacks, Rizwan’s passion for the game shines through. He’s committed to pushing through this rough patch, saying, "My hard work is never less. By God’s will, I will stand in front of you again." Fans will be hoping he can channel this determination into better performances as the season progresses.
