Former Pakistani cricketer Mushtaq Ahmed shared an intriguing anecdote about Mohammad Rizwan, highlighting the wicketkeeper-batsman’s strong religious values and his thoughtful gesture during the Pakistan Super League (PSL).
According to Mushtaq, Rizwan gifted copies of the Quran to five international players participating in the league, a revelation that has since gone viral on social media.
The clip of Mushtaq Ahmed discussing Rizwan’s gesture has sparked widespread attention online, with fans sharing their reactions. Many have expressed admiration for Rizwan’s dedication to his faith and his willingness to share it with others, viewing it as a testament to his character and values.
While others argue that his primary focus should remain on cricket, suggesting that Rizwan should prioritize performance over personal religious outreach.
Mohammad Rizwan, known for his devout faith and commitment to his beliefs, is currently one of the leading candidates to succeed Babar Azam as the captain of Pakistan’s white-ball teams (ODI and T20). Sources revealed that Rizwan is being seriously considered for the position, particularly for the ODI team, while Mohammad Haris is also being weighed as a potential captain for the T20 side.
The speculation comes after Babar Azam, in a surprising move, stepped down as captain of Pakistan’s limited-overs teams, citing a need to focus on his personal growth and performance. In his resignation statement shared on X (formerly Twitter), Babar, expressed his desire to “gain clarity” and channel more energy toward his game.
