Ahmed Shehzad mercilessly roasted Mohammad Rizwan for his repeated failures against the fast bowlers. Mocking Rizwan’s batting technique, the former Pakistani batsman said that whenever Rizwan went to face a fast bowler, it looked like a dance performance rather than cricket technique.
Cricket experts are attacking the Pakistan cricket team for their embarrassing batting performance against Bangladesh in Dhaka. On paper, the away team looked strong enough to win the match on 11 March, which was proven wrong when the home team easily claimed it.
Bangladesh fast bowler Nahid Rana single-handedly destroyed Pakistan’s batting order.
Bangladesh fast bowler Nahid Rana wreaked havoc at Shere Bangla National Stadium. After losing the toss and opting to bat first, the touring team made a great start to the innings with in-form opener Sahibzada Farhan.
As soon as Nahin Rana came to bowl, the batting order of the opposing team collapsed. The fast bowler took 5 wickets in 7 overs at an economy rate of 3.40. Bangladesh’s two other fast bowlers, Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman, took one wicket each. Bangladesh’s pace trio exposed Pakistan’s weakness in front of seam bowling by taking 7 wickets.
Mohammad Rizwan failed to do his job when the team needed him the most.
As Pakistan is out of the T20 World Cup 2026 title race, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has started the process of revamping the team into a new look. He chose the series against Bangladesh to test some of his emerging players along with some senior cricketers to maintain balance in the team.
Mohammad Rizwan is among the experienced batsmen who earned the trust of the national team selectors to travel to Bangladesh to play a three-match ODI series.
When the team was in trouble against Bangladesh, the responsibility of taking the team out of danger was on the shoulders of Rizwan, who came to bat as a middle-order batsman. The No. 4 batsman in the line-up scored only 10 runs with the help of two fours in 20 balls before being dismissed by Rana.
Former Pakistan batsman Ahmed Shehzad criticized Rizwan’s batting style against fast bowlers. When former batsman Rizwan mentioned the New Zealand series.
Dance starts dying: Ahmed Shehzad on Mohammad Rizwan
“Tell me what changes have you made? The way Rizwan is getting out in the New Zealand series, he is the same even today. As soon as any fast bowler comes, he starts dancing. He has no technique.”
The former cricketer told Mohammad Rizwan, “Kuchh samaj hi nahi aati (What changes have you made? The way he was getting out in the series against New Zealand, he was the same today. As soon as a fast bowler comes in, he starts dancing. He has no technique and fails to understand anything).
