Pakistan declared their innings on the second day of the first Test against Bangladesh in Rawalpindi, leaving Mohammad Rizwan 29 runs short of a double century. Despite the declaration, Pakistan set a massive target for Bangladesh, who will need to bat exceptionally well to avoid a heavy defeat. Day 3 of the test saw Bangladesh openers Shadman Islam and Zakir Hasan put up a resilient performance, reaching 74/0 at stumps, but still trailing by a huge margin.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has rejected requests for No Objection Certificates from Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, and Shaheen Shah Afridi to participate in the Global T20 League, citing a busy international calendar. The decision was made to manage the workload of the players who are expected to be heavily involved in upcoming international matches.
Pakistan wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan and all-rounder Irfan Khan have been ruled out of the ongoing T20 International series against New Zealand due to hamstring injuries. The duo sustained the injuries during the third match in Rawalpindi, which New Zealand won to level the five-match series 1-1. With wicketkeeper-batter Azam Khan also ruled out, Haseebullah Khan is expected to take over the wicketkeeping duties for Pakistan in the remaining two matches.
Pakistan’s wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan will miss the remaining two matches of the T20I series against New Zealand due to an injury sustained during the third game. Rizwan retired hurt while batting and did not take the field for the rest of the match. After reviewing the radiology reports of Rizwan and Mohammad Irfan Khan, the PCB has decided to send both players to work on their rehabilitation with the medical panel at NCA.
Pakistan’s star batter Mohammad Rizwan and all-rounder Irfan Khan have been ruled out of the last two T20Is against New Zealand due to injuries. According to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), the decision was made after reviewing the players’ radiology reports.
Pakistan’s wicket-keeper batsman Mohammad Rizwan is doubtful for the remaining T20I matches against New Zealand due to a hamstring injury sustained during the third T20I. A decision on his availability will be made after reviewing his scans, while Azam Khan has also been ruled out of the series due to a Grade One tear in his right calf muscle. New Zealand, who lost the first T20I but won the third, have leveled the series at 1-1 with two matches remaining in Lahore.
