Western Indies are currently organizing Pakistan for a T20i series, after their 0-5 defeat against Australia at home in the format. Visitors are also reaching the back of a 2-1 T20i series loss against Bangladesh. However, Captain Odi de Pakistan, Mohammad Rizwan, has not reached the side of T20i, who will face the hosts on August 1, on August 3 and August 4, respectively.

Why is Mohammad Rizwan abandoned from the Pakistan T20i team?

Previously, the Wicktkeeper-Bater also did not appear in the Pakistan T20 team for its New Zealand tour in March 2025. It was not considered for the recent series of 20 years and 20 against Bangladesh. He played a T20I for the last time in December 2024 against South Africa.

In particular, the Cricket Board of Pakistan (PCB) had decided to drop two of the prominent names, including Rizwan and the former Pakistan captain Babar Azam, of his T20I line, after his continuous performances during the last year or more. In particular, Rizwan presented 617 races, including only five media centuries, in 21 T20I games at a strike rate below the torque of 117.30 in 2024.

They had also eliminated the pacemakers Shaheen Shah Afridi after their thin statistics against black caps. However, after missing two 20 series against Bangladesh, the sailor has returned in the T20I configuration for his clashes against the Western Indies.

When will Mohammad Rizwan return to action?

Although the starter has seen a recent decrease in its form in the shortest format of the game, it still continues to lead his country in hate. The 33-year-old has scored 425 races in his last 10 games in the format, which also includes an undefeated 122 coup against South Africa in the third meeting of the Tri-Series series in February 2025.

Although it is not selected for the T20i series against the Western Indies, Rizwan will return as Pakistan’s pattern in the next ODI series, starting August 8. In particular, this will be his first more campaign from the Trophy 2025 champion debacle at home, which was followed by a 3-0 Whipave in New Zealand in April 2025.
