Former Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq said everything is working in wicketkeeper-batsman Mohammad Rizwan’s favour.
He noted that this is the case since Rizwan is a very “disciplined” cricketer and has a lot of fight in him.
In the T20 World Cup, Rizwan accumulated 281 runs in six matches, which included three half-centuries, at an average of 70.25 and a strike-rate of 127.72.
He then made 90 runs at an average of 30 and a strike-rate of 90.90 in the three-match T20 series against Bangladesh.
As for the two-Test series against the same opposition, he scored 58 runs, which included a top score of 53 not out, at an average of 58.
In regards to the T20 series against the West Indies, Rizwan amassed 203 runs in three games, which included two half-centuries, at an average of 67.66 and a strike-rate of 159.84.
“He is a fighter and the way he is disciplined, it is working in his favour,” Misbah was quoted as saying by Cricwick.
Rizwan, who was named the ICC’s T20I Cricketer of the Year, will now be looking to have a strong campaign while captaining the Multan Sultans in the Pakistan Super League (PSL).
He began his campaign with an unbeaten 52 off 47 balls, which included five boundaries and a six, as the Sultans defeated the Karachi Kings by seven wickets.
