Pakistan wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan has expressed his excitement to don the Melbourne Renegades colours in the upcoming Big Bash League (BBL) 15.
In a video shared by the BBL’s official social media handles, Rizwan opened up about his admiration for Australian cricket and his hunger for new challenges.
“Look, my career, I always love challenges,” Rizwan said.
“And I have seen the cricket of Australia. The way I have played against these guys, they are challenging players. I love the way they play.”
The Pakistan star praised the Australian cricketing mindset, highlighting their discipline and clarity in execution.
“It doesn’t matter what the world is doing; Australian players always stick to their plans. Whatever they decide, they go for it, no matter the situation,” he added.
Set to join a new dressing room for the first time in a major franchise league outside Asia, Mohammad Rizwan shared his enthusiasm about integrating into the Renegades setup and learning from the experience.
“I always love challenges, the atmosphere of the stadium, the people, the cricketers, I love them all,” he added.
“The cricket in the Big Bash is very competitive; it’s not easy cricket. Every game tests you.”
Calling the Renegades his “new family,” Rizwan expressed confidence that the experience would be both enjoyable and rewarding.
“Yes, the Renegades might be a new family for me, but they have a great history. We’ll enjoy our time together, let’s see what happens there,” he concluded.
The 15th season of the Big Bash League is set to begin on December 14, 2025, featuring 44 matches.
The opening fixture will see Perth Scorchers take on Sydney Sixers at the Perth Stadium, a contest that will also mark Babar Azam’s much-anticipated BBL debut.
