Mohammad Rizwan Responds Gracefully: ‘Cricket Is My Focus, Not English'

Pakistan's ODI and T20 skipper Mohammad Rizwan has given a strong reply to trolls ridiculing him for his English-speaking abilities. Talking about the matter at an emotional press conference before the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2025 opener, Rizwan insisted that his priority is cricket, not speaking English. The wicketkeeper-batter has been trolled frequently for viral videos of his interviews and team discussions, but he indicated that he has no shame about his shortcomings.

Rizwan's remark is made during Pakistan's on-field struggles and criticism after their Champions Trophy defeat and New Zealand series losses. His open comments have struck a chord with fans and players, underscoring the need for substance over style.
