Mohammad Rizwan strike maiden century in County Championship

Pakistan wicket-keeper batsman Mohammad Rizwan has scored his first century in the County Championship ongoing clash against Derbyshire. It's his 13th first class hundred overall.<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/rizwan-29_06_2022.jpg"> Pakistan's wicket-keeper Rizwan shone with the racket in the latest County Championship Division Two game between Derbyshire and Sussex, scoring his first century in the English league. 

As his Sussex side struggled at 27/2 in response to Derbyshire's mammoth 551/8, the right-handed batter anchored the innings and put his team out of danger with Tom Alsop as the duo added a brave 95 runs for the second wicket.The very important ton came at a crucial time when Sussex were struggling to develop a partnership down the middle as they lost early wickets. Rizwan faced 172 balls when he reached the milestone, which included 18 four-pointers.Responding to Derbyshire's first innings of 551 overall, Sussex lost two wickets when they were up to 27. Rizwan first stitched a 95-run partnership with Tom Alsop, then added another valuable 92 runs with Oliver Carter.Sussex is struggling to reduce the deficit after losing five wickets for 249 runs, while Rizwan is on 105 and Delray Rawlins, who joined Rizwan at the crease, is on 6.So far, Rizwan has played five games in the ongoing county championship and has 241 runs at a 48.28 average, including half a century and one hundred. Previously, the right-hander smashed a fifty in T20 Blast with just 19 balls. 

It is also important to note here that Rizwan missed several games due to Pakistan's three-game ODI streak against the West Indies.

Shan Masood gives the Credit to Muhammad Rizwan for develop his game

KARACHI: Pakistan's opening batsman Shan Masood thanked Mohammad Rizwan for helping him develop his game and boost his confidence.<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/shan-masood-23_06_2022.jpg">Pakistan's first batter, <a href="https://www.bdcrictime.com/player/profile/49076/shan-masood">Shan Masood</a>, has credited <a href="https://www.bdcrictime.com/player/profile/44054/mohammad-rizwan">Mohammad Rizwan</a> for his recent success, saying he learned from him how to act in different situations at the head of the order.Shan, who played for Multan Sultans in the 2022 Pakistan Super League under Rizwan's guidance, was a sensation for his side during the event and he continued his spectacular form, shining at the 2022 County Championship for Derbyshire.“I will give a lot of credit to Mohammad Rizwan as he helped me develop and grow my game. I've learned to be flexible and believe that even at the top of the order, I can make a difference, no matter what the situation. " 

Shan, who is enjoying a stellar season with Derbyshire in England, shared the Multan Sultans dressing room with Rizwan in the Pakistan Super League, where he finished the seventh season as the third-best run scorer.The 32-year-old, who leads Derbyshire in the T20 Blast, has hit 366 runs in 10 innings with a 45.75 average. 

The left-hander went on to say he's also benefiting from playing with Rizwan in the T20 Blast. 

"Even when I'm playing T20 Blast, I always remember what Rizwan used to say and how to go about things. You need to be flexible and switch accordingly because one day you need to be chasing about 150 and score 70 balls out of 55 while one day you need to be chasing about 240 and score 100 points on 55 deliveries," he concluded.

Babar's 'illegal fielding' cost Pakistan five runs in second ODI

Pakistan are in great form in ODI
cricket. Babar Azam is also in a great rhythm. However, on the day of the
series win against the West Indies, Babar was given the 5-run penalty by giving
birth to a strange incident. 
<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/babar-illegal-fielding-10_06_2022.jpg">The captain of the Pakistan team was
seen fielding wearing a glove, which is against the rules of cricket.
Babar has been accused of
violating Article 28.1 of the International Cricket Council (ICC). According to
ICC rules, No fielder other than the wicket-keeper shall be permitted to wear
gloves or external leg guards. So, wearing gloves is a clear violation of the
law.
So, Pakistan had to take five
extra penalty runs because of Babar’s use of gloves instead of wicketkeeper
Mohammad Rizwan in the first ball of the 29th over of the West Indies innings.
Despite this, Pakistan won the match by 120 runs. 
Here are some notable tweets
about the incident-

Cricket players from India and Pakistan want to play against each other: Muhammad Rizwan

Pakistan wicketkeeper batsman Mohammad Rizwan has revealed that the Pakistani and Indian cricketers want to play each other more often but they have no control over affairs at state level.<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/rizwan-03_06_2022.jpg"> Pakistan wicketkeeper batsman <a href="https://www.bdcrictime.com/player/profile/44054/mohammad-rizwan">Muhammad Rizwan</a> believes that cricketers from Pakistan and India are keen to play each other but matters at the state level are not under their control. 

Notably, India and Pakistan have not played bilateral cricket since January 2013 when Pakistan visited its neighbors to play 2 T20Is and 3 ODIs. The two teams have not met in a bilateral Test series since the 2007–08 season. Efforts to run bilateral ranks in the past have not brought the desired results. 

However, the two teams met at major events including the World Championships and Asian Cup tournaments. The Indian men's team defeated Pakistan at the 2019 World Cup, which was also their last meeting at international level.The bilateral series between Pakistan and India has been in the headlines for years but due to the Indian government's interference in the affairs of the board, there has been no positive response from the Cricket Control Committee in India.In response to a question about Mohammad Haris' inclusion in the squad, Rizwan explained that Haris is a very talented wicket-keeper-batter and that he would like the team to pick up not just one but five wicket-keepers if they have a spot earn in squad XI.Rizwan, who was named ICC Men's T20I Cricketer of the Year in 2021, also praised Pakistan's bowling unit, saying they have the best bowlers and it gives him pleasure when some of the England players praise them. 

The wicket-keeper's batsman also commented on the scorching weather conditions for the next series, saying the weather was undoubtedly hot but they had been used to it since the U19 level and there should be no excuses for either player. 


Speaking of his relationship with Cheteshwar Pujara of India during the County Championship, Rizwan said: "I spoke to Pujara about cricket and learned a lot from him." 

Rizwan has represented Pakistan in 55 T20Is and has scored 1,639 runs with an average of 51.21, including 1013 half centuries. In 2021 he was named one of the Wisden Cricketers of the Year and ICC Men's T20I Cricketer of the Year.

Muhammad Rizwan puts a new record in England's T20 blast on debut

<a href="https://www.bdcrictime.com/match/54518/sussex-vs-glamorgan/scorecard">Mohammad Rizwan</a> became the highest scoring Pakistani batter on debut in T20 Blast history when he hit 81 runs from 60 balls against Glamorgan.<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/mohammad-rizwan-sussex-27_05_2022.jpg">Previously the record was held by flamboyant mid-order batsman Umar Akmal, who scored 76 runs on his debut for Leicestershire in 2015. 

Rizwan's exceptional shot included 6 fours and 3 sixes as he smashed bowlers across the park. While Rizwan was great, he didn't have much support from the rest of the batting unit as they looked clueless in the face of a solid display from the Glamorgan bowlers. 

Despite Rizwan's best efforts, Sussex were unable to board a challenging total as they were only able to manage 150/6 in their allotted 20 overs. Glamorgan comfortably chased the target down as they won the match by 7 wickets and more than one over.The 29-year-old will represent Sussex in the next few games before returning to Pakistan for the ODI series against the West Indies. Rizwan is expected to attend PCB's training camp in the first week of June alongside other members of Pakistan's white ball squad who are currently participating in the T20 Blast.The three-game ODI series between the two teams is scheduled for June 8, 10 and 12. The series was originally intended to be played in Rawalpindi but has now been moved to Multan.

Shadab returns as Pakistan name squad for West Indies series

Pakistan have announced a
16-member squad ahead of the ODI series against the West Indies. Five
cricketers have been dropped from the squad from their last ODI series squad against
Australia.
<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/shadab-23_05_2022.jpg">Shadab, the vice-captain of the
Pakistan ODI team, was not at home series against Australia due to injury. But,
he returns to the side for the home series against the West Indies after
recovering from the injury. Another all-rounder Mohammad Nawaz has been also included
in the team.

team along with regular wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan. Asif Ali, Asif Afridi,
Haider Ali, Saud Shakeel, and Usman Qadir have been dropped from the squad against
Australia. Shakeel will have to undergo surgery due to injury.
"Players such as Mohammad
Nawaz and Shadab Khan are now fully fit, which has allowed us to leave out Asif
Afridi and Usman Qadir. However, Usman along with Asif Ali and Haider Ali
remain in our plans for the shortest format as we have a series of T20Is lined
up this year, including the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2022,” chief selector
Mohammad Wasim said in a statement.

as the ‘Leading T20 Cricketer of the Year’ in the latest edition of the Wisden

in international cricket. The tally included 12 half-centuries as well. In 2021, Mohammad Rizwan was also named among ‘Widen Cricketers of the Year’.
