Pakistan top order batsman Imam-ul-Haq said wicketkeeper-batsman Mohammad Rizwan has a “very simple personality”.
Rizwan has established himself as Pakistan’s go-to wicketkeeper in all three formats due to his consistent performances.
He is also known for having a good heart and upholding the spirit of the game whenever he is on the field.
“He has a very simple personality,” Imam was quoted as saying by Cricket Pakistan.
In the series against Australia, Rizwan scored 140 runs in three Tests, which included a top score of 104 not out, at an average of 46.66.
He then made 33 runs at an average of 16.50 in the three-match ODI series before scoring 23 runs in the one-off T20 International.
