Pakistan's Rizwan Named T20 Cricketer Of Year

In 2021 wicket keeper batsman Mohammad Rizwan scored 1,326 runs at average of 73.66 in 29 matches.

Pakistan's wicket-keeper batsman Mohammad Rizwan on Sunday was named cricketer of the year in Twenty20 format by the International Cricket Council (ICC), a milestone achievement unseen by Pakistani players for years.
"Sheer Consistency, indomitable spirit and some breathtaking knocks. 2021 was memorable for Mohammad Rizwan," the sport's international governing body said on Twitter, congratulating the batter.
