Rizwan was seen limping yesterday with a possible knee injury. Not only is he the only wicket-keeper in the squad but he is also Pakistan’s leading batter in the tournament. Skipper, Babar Azam isn’t in the best of forms and so the green shirts call ill-afford to lose the 30 year old.

Moreover, his possible absence will also force the men in green to opt for a replacement.
