Rizwan’s Captaincy Struggles Continue as He Hits Sixth Duck

Pakistan Super League (PSL) captain Mohammad Rizwan has hit a new low, matching an unwanted record for the most ducks by a skipper in the tournament’s history. He achieved this milestone in RawalPindiz’s 32-run loss to Lahore Qalandars, a result that extended their losing streak to seven matches in PSL 11. Rizwan’s dismissal added to the woes of both the captain and his team, with the wicketkeeper-batter acknowledging that his own performances have fallen short of expectations this season. In a post-match interview, Rizwan took responsibility for his struggles, stating that he had not met his own standards. He also emphasized that players experience difficult periods, and expressed confidence in bouncing back from this slump. Rizwan recalled his past decision to step back from T20 cricket to work on his game, and return stronger. He also explained that the team management had asked him to focus on guiding younger players, particularly fast bowler Razaullah, by not keeping wickets in the match. Despite the team’s poor run, Rizwan highlighted a few promising players, including Abdullah Fazal and Saad Masood, who he believes have encouraging potential. He noted that while there are still gaps in the side, there are signs of promise for the future. The loss left RawalPindiz winless after seven games, further exacerbating Rizwan’s personal struggles. With six ducks as captain, he now shares the unwanted PSL record with Shaheen Afridi, while Wahab Riaz and Imad Wasim sit next on the list with four each.
