Mohammad Rizwan returns to form with a double century after being dropped from Pakistan Test squad
Mohammad Rizwan, the Pakistan national cricket team wicket-keeper batter, has made a strong comeback by scoring a double hundred for Peshawar Region in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy. Rizwan was dropped from the Test squad amid an internal investigation by the Pakistan Cricket Board regarding alleged illegal betting during the Pakistan team's England Test series. Despite the ongoing investigation and doubts about his future selection, Rizwan demonstrated focus on the game by reaching 200 runs off 252 balls, helping his team dominate Faisalabad Region in the match. Rizwan last played for Pakistan on August 27, 2026, during the Test series at Lord's, where he had modest performances in both innings.
