Heather Knight, England’s captain, is all praise for Pakistan’s Mohammad Rizwan, who had an incredible year in 2021 and just led his club to the Pakistan Super League‘s (PSL) championships.
The English cricketer is now in New Zealand, where her side will defend their Women’s World Cup championship. Knight captained her team to a dramatic World Cup final victory against India five years ago in front of a sold-out Lord’s crowd.
England Cricket resorted to Twitter and invited followers to ask the English skipper questions.
Multan Sultans, big fan of Rizwan https://t.co/wBId0crAyJ

However, a user named Faisal Habib Khattak made no World Cup-related inquiries. He was curious as to which PSL team the English captain favoured.
Knight said that she liked the Multan Sultans and was a big fan of Mohammad Rizwan, even though his team didn’t win the PSL this year.
Rizwan was also selected as the team’s captain for the PSL 7 season. The popular wicketkeeper-batsman is one of four Multan Sultans players picked for this year’s tournament.
Even though he lost in the finals, Rizwan still won a lot of money when he was named the PSL 7 Player of the Year.
Rizwan kept being a good batsman for Multan Sultans. He scored 546 runs at a rate of 126.68 and led his team to the final after they won nine of their ten league games.
Rizwan was also named PSL 2022’s best wicketkeeper. He dismissed nine hitters behind the wickets in 12 matches.
Rizwan was named the Most Valuable Cricketer and T20I Cricketer earlier this year as part of the PCB Awards 2021.
