Former West Indies pace bowler Ian Bishop has lauded Pakistan wicketkeeper-batsman Mohammad Rizwan, saying he really is a fighter.
Rizwan is known for putting up gritty performances when the men in green find themselves in precarious situations.
Recently, the 32-year-old from Peshawar was in action in Pakistan’s two-Test series against the West Indies in Multan.
He finished the series as Pakistan’s highest run-scorer with 147 runs, which included a top score of 71, at an average of 36.75.
“Fighter if there really was one is Mohammad Rizwan,” Bishop, who is a well-known cricket commentator, was quoted as saying by journalist Farid Khan on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Rizwan will now captain Pakistan in their ODI tri-series against New Zealand and South Africa.
Afterwards, he will lead the men in green in the 2025 Champions Trophy, which will be played from February 19 to March 9.
Pakistan Squad for 2025 Champions Trophy: Mohammad Rizwan (captain and wicketkeeper), Fakhar Zaman, Babar Azam, Kamran Ghulam, Saud Shakeel, Tayyab Tahir, Faheem Ashraf, Khushdil Shah, Salman Ali Agha, Usman Khan, Abrar Ahmed, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Mohammad Hasnain, Haris Rauf, Naseem Shah
