On Rizwan’s inclusion the cricketing body said, “The Pakistan wicketkeeper-batter ruled the roost in 2021 when it came to the shortest format of the game. Apart from his exploits with the bat, he was as solid as ever behind the stumps, playing a key role in Pakistan’s run to the semis during the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021, where he ended up as the third-highest run-scorer.”

His captaincy was also praised as he led his team to the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup in UAE and Oman.”
