KARACHI: Rawalpindiz captain Mohammad Rizwan admitted personal failure after his side’s seventh successive loss in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 11.
Earlier, Lahore Qalandars won by 32 runs over Rawalpindi, handing them their seventh straight loss in the tournament.
Talking to the media after the match, Rizwan highlighted the shortcomings, noting that he should have performed better.
“My performance hasn’t been good, but I am also a human being,” he told reporters.
He also revealed the reason for not keeping wickets, saying he had outlined a plan for the youngsters.
“We had planned for young players, and you can see I did not keep wickets because of fast bowler Razaullah, because I wanted to be alongside him to help him out,” he added.
Regarding positives, he tipped some players he believes have the potential to become future stars.
“I highly rate Abdullah Fazal, while Saad Masood is a positive player. We have no backup of Shadab Khan, but you can still see a spark in them, which is a player I believe for future,” Rizwan explained.
“I personally believe a leader should not be judged only on individual performances but on overall contribution.”
Recalling his Big Bash experience and break from T20 cricket, he expressed confidence in his abilities to bounce back and perform well.
“When I went to the Big Bash, I told myself that I didn’t deserve a place in the team with this performance. I will come back with more hard work. This time the effort was less, so the result is like this.”
“We are humans. My performance is not up to the mark, but it does not mean I should quit cricket. I have said before as well that when my performance is not good, someone else should be given the opportunity,” the skipper concluded.
