Mohammad Rizwan speaks on Pakistan poor T20I WC campaign

Wednesday, 03-Jul-2024

Pakistan were incredibly out of touch in their campaign at the T20I World Cup 2024, ending their campaign during the group stage itself, with a series of defeats being copped by them. Pakistan could not even make it to the Super Eight as they started their campaign with a defeat. Moreover, Pakistan’s defeats to tournament debutant USA and arch-rival India were met with harsh criticism. In the wake of Pakistan’s saddening campaign, all players have been subjected to strong criticism.

Against USA, Pakistan slumped to a historic defeat after the match went into the Super Over and Pakistan failed to overcome that challenge. Addressing the media, Pakistan’s wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan said that team is disappointed with its performance and the amount of criticism team is receiving is obvious.

"The criticism the team is facing is justified, and we deserve this since we didn't meet expectations. Players who can't face criticism won't be able to succeed,” Mohammad Rizwan said.

"We are disappointed with our performance in the T20 World Cup. There are multiple reasons behind our losses. When a team loses, one can't say that bowling and batting is doing well," he asserted.
