Mohammad Rizwan, a Pakistani cricket hero, has been one of the nation’s best players lately. He also received a captaincy role after Babar Azam was removed due to his previous performances. Rizwan’s weak mastery of the English language has frequently been criticised by the supporters during his numerous press conferences, team meetings, and match presentations as captain.
Prior to the start of the PSL 2025 season, the Multan Sultans captain has publicly acknowledged that he is unable to speak English effectively because he was unable to complete an education and instead concentrated only on improving his cricket skill set. Rizwan acknowledges that he regrets not finishing his education, but he also says that, as a cricket player, he shouldn’t feel guilty about it.
“It doesn’t matter to me (my limited command of English). Being honest from the heart makes me proud. Thank heavens I don’t speak English. I apologise for not studying more; I haven’t learnt anything. I’m not at all ashamed of it, though. Sorry for not studying. I have to admit that they expect me to play cricket. I don’t have to speak English. In a press conference prior to PSL 2025, Rizwan apologised, saying, “I’m able to converse well in English because I didn’t finish my education.”

I’ll study and return: Mohammad Rizwan
The wicketkeeper-batter also believes that even though he is not fluent in the language, he continues to encourage the younger generation to focus on learning the language while simultaneously improving their cricket skills. The captain of Pakistan goes on to say that he does not have much time for it because the team needs him to play cricket and does not require him to speak English well.
“I always advise my juniors to do well in their English studies. “They can speak in a different way,” they ought to say. I regret a great deal. I didn’t feel that way, though. Pakistan is the one who is currently requesting cricket from me. I’m going to quit it and become a professor if they ask for English. I’ll learn and return. “I have no time for this,” he said in closing.
