Rizwan’s T20I availability uncertain due to injury. The wicket-keeper batsman Mohammad Rizwan hurt his leg, which is bad news for the Pakistan cricket team because he might not be able to play in the remaining T20I matches against New Zealand.
Rizwan’s T20I availability uncertain due to injury
Rizwan is an important top-order player for the national team. He got hurt during the third T20I against the Black Caps in Rawalpindi on Sunday, while playing in his 79th T20I innings and breaking Virat Kohli and Babar Azam’s records for the fastest 3,000 runs in T20 International cricket.
The team’s management could make any choice about the right-handed batter’s fitness today after looking at his scans. What’s happening now comes after Green Shirts wicket-keeper batsman Azam Khan was ruled out of the NZ series because his right leg hurt during practice. Radiology reports confirmed that the cricket player had a Grade One tear in his right leg muscle, so the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) told him to take 10 days off.
One interesting thing to note is that New Zealand made an amazing comeback in the five-match T20I series. Mark Chapman led the visitors to win in the third T20I match played on Sunday.
The series is now tied at 1-1, and the next two games will be played in Lahore on April 25 and 27. Before that, on April 20, the Black Caps were bowled out for just 90 runs in 18.1 overs in the second T20I, which the national team won by seven wickets. The rain canceled the first game of the series.
