Mohammad Rizwan, the leading T20I run-scorer in 2021, was sent back to the pavilion after failing to score against Quetta Gladiators in the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL).

“Good test for this @MultanSultans middle order with Rizwan out cheaply.. first duck in 37 innings is pretty good going for the superstar!” Erin said.
