Srinagar: Fans have slammed Pakistan all format wicketkeeper batter Mohammad Rizwan after another failure in the Test cricket.
Mohammad Rizwan was Monday dismissed for 7 on Day 3 against England in Karachi leaving Pakistan inning in tatters and set for another defeat.
Rizwan out to young England’s young spinner Rehan Ahmed as the hosts were bowled out for 216 in their second innings.
Rizwan has been under pressure for his form in Tests. While he has been doing well in T20Is, it is the Test matches where Rizwan is stuck.
After his unbeaten 104 against Australia earlier this year, Rizwan has failed to register a single half-century in 12 innings, with a highest of 46 against England in the first Test at Rawalpindi. In the last six Tests, Rizwan has conjured just 262 runs at an average of 21.8, which is a glaring concern in Pakistan’s middle order.
With another low score, Twitter users have pounced on to Rizwan, slamming him left, right and centre for his form with the bat.
Some fans have voiced thier support for the return of former Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed, backing him to replace Rizwan in the Test squad.
Sarfaraz, who last played a Test back in 2019 and his previous ODI and T20I appearances date back to April and November of last year respectively, has been in good touch for Sindh in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, including scores of 56 and 102 in his last two matches.
