Pakistan wicketkeeper-batsman Mohammad Rizwan admitted that the entire team are upset with the outcome of the England tour, but noted that if the players were seen crying, it would make them look like “cowards”.

Pakistan lost the three-Test series 1-0, but drew the three-match T20 series 1-1.

“If we could share a video of us in tears, then they’d know how depressed we all are. But we cannot be like that as that would make us look like cowards,” Rizwan was quoted as saying by Saj Sadiq on Twitter.

“Our team management doesn’t want us to take this current situation in a bad way as we do feel very sad and angry inside. Instead they want us to be courageous. We are all very sad from inside but we don’t want to show that to everyone.”

Rizwan was one of the bright spots for Pakistan during the England tour as in the three-Test series, the 28-year-old scored 161 runs, which included two half-centuries, at an average of 40.25.

He also took five catches and had one stumping.

As for the three-match T20 series, Rizwan didn’t bat in the two games he played, but took one catch and had a stumping as well.
