• Rizwan acknowledged that facing players is difficult.
• He added that he doesn’t hold anyone accountable for missing games.
• Now giving importance to each match he plays to make up for the lost time.

The Multan Sultans captain acknowledged on Tuesday that facing players like Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf, and Hasan Ali is always difficult as the Pakistan Super League’s (PSL) eighth season approaches.

He did, however, add that since the participants are aware of one another’s advantages and disadvantages, it can go either way.

“This doesn’t only apply to me but to all the batters as they are seriously quick and effective bowlers with plenty of variety,” Rizwan added while speaking on the PCB Podcast.

Rizwan added that he doesn’t hold anyone accountable for missing games during the PSL’s first few seasons.

“I missed few matches in the early part of the PSL, but I will not blame anyone, furthering saying It is all part of the game as each side has its own strategy and game plan, but I am now giving importance to each match I play so that I can make up for the lost time,” he said.

He also expressed that “the philosophy of Multan Sultans is simple: play as champions irrespective of the opposition or the outcome. Consequently, we are not afraid of the results”.

“Captaincy and batting can be challenging, but we have a good group of people who have not only empowered me but also back and support me so that I can strike the right balance and continue to give my best,” he added.

Rizwan also stated that Multan “are a closely-knit side and the credit for this cohesion must be given to the team management”.
